Hi!

Hello z26 here.

I'm 20 years old and stumbled on here while researching about getting a laser pointer/module. I actually don't have much experience with lasers, so I came here to fix that, as an occasionnal hobby (I like dabbling in various things)
Anyway, I'd have some questions about a laser purchase (with glasses of course).


I've been thinking about getting this red laser (o-like 660nm ajustable 250mw laser module) since it's focusable and NOT battery powered. However, I'm kinda puzzled about how to plug this thing. It doesn't simply look like a 2.1 dc plug and I'm not really knowledgeable about this subject.

So, my questions:
1. Since it's a module, not a diode, I assume the amperage you deliver to it doesn't need to be tightly controlled?
2. Do you know what kind of adapter you need to power this thing?
3. If I don't manage to answer the question above, do you think I could simply cut some wires and solder/wrap the cord with some dc adapter with appropriate voltage/amperage?

Thanks in advance!

Let me be the first to welcome you z26 to the forums, im sure you will love it here! There are tons to research and fantastic people to meet !

I apologize in advance for my lack of answers to the questions you have asked but I can answer one. The "colorful links" at the top of the page are simply ad's which help keep the site up and running and allowing new members to join, like yourself

That's already one less question. Thanks anyway!
