runtimes on both laser and LEDs? will it be using the same reflector? can we send you our own green laser to mod to cut the cost?
Runtime estimate-roughly 3.5 hours on a primary(assuming 1400mAh), roughly 2 hours on a RCR123(assuming 800mAh, and that the laser can take that kigh of a voltage)
The original reflecor will be bored out, and really woun't be used in this mod since the laser's optics are self-contained
If your laser is pot moddable, yes you could mail it to me to cut costs
Due to the lock-out-tailcap, clicky, waterproofness, durability, and HAIII I think a Surefire would be the ideal host.
Basically I was thinking of making something along the lines of this (sourcepic courtesy of surefire.com)
By boring out the e1e's bezel and putting in a
modified green laser pointer
The green leds would be there to let you know when the laser was turned on, since it will be powerful enough(40mW-ish) to cause serious damage to one's eyes.
To solve the problem of heat buildup I would pot the laser unit in thermal epoxy so that it would heatsink out to the body
If I can figure out some way to incorporate a switch it would be possible to make a 2 mode(laser/white leds) beast
Any suggestions?
