    Great little flashlight

    posted by LASERgenGibelli on 12/05/2012 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    It's a great and beautiful flashlight, great for your DIY projects since you don't have to waste money buying the led and driver board that you won't use on your project. I used it to build a 1,2W 445nm blue laser pointer and it works great. It has a great ...
    Cons:
    It's a little bit too small and makes poor heatsinking.

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    These are very nice! I actually purchased an Aurora c6 light before i ever ordered these, and these showed up with the same body. The pictures show an all black host, but the two that i received both said Aurora on one side and Cree on the other. Check out ...
    Cons:
    The lights say aurora on it, which could be a con if you wanted a blank host, but i think it looks good and am happy with it!

    Cons:
    the included heatsink is pretty thin for a good heat dissipation so this one is a goner ... build your own and you won't miss ;...
