i got a little lazy on the picture taking cause i was too focused on putting it together.
2w 445nm diode in 12mm M140 module with X-Drive and G-2 Glass lens.
Originally meant to power it with dual 18350's, but radioshack screwed me over. Purchased 18350s with button tops so i lost $40 and theres a NO RETURN policy.... So i went with RCR123A 3.7V (all i could find).
M140 Module with X-Drive showing
Attachment 55535
Blank battery contact board screwed into host
Attachment 55536
lead wires from diode clipped (should have clipped them even shorter, but it worked)
Attachment 55537
soldering arrangement
Attachment 55539
i soldered everything off camera. Screwed it together and put batteries in.
Attachment 55540

DO AS I SAY NOT AS I DO.
Wear safety glasses guys. My buddy didnt believe me that it was dangerous to look at the dot.... lets just say, he didnt look directly at the dot so his peripheral vision went blind for about 15 minutes.
