completed an Aspheric Tiny DC. Has a beam similar to a McGizmo Sundrop, but bigger...
Used a Qlite 3.04A driver, and an XM-L2 from Mountain Electronics. drilled a blank pill for wires coming through away from center so the led had a place to set...
got an Aspheric Lens from ThorLabs, and used a blue o-ring I had laying around as the gasket.
For the spacer between the pill and the lens, I used a small rubber leg/cane tip trimmed to be slightly taller than the LED.
