Ok, you've seen the PHR-803T build I did in the DX MTE 6watt cree flashlight housing. Well it was running solid with no heat build up at 100ma. So I cranked it to 125ma and it's running cool and the power is awesome.
BUT I burnt my arm while setting up a photo! I was noticing a stinging coming from my left bicep, but I didn't think too much of it, until it REALLY started to sting, then I realized the beam was landing right on my skin as I was trying to hold the camera.
Result: BLURAY SUNBURN!! I know this isn't a good thing, but I am kind of proud that I built a laser that could do this
My laser:
The shot I was trying to take, which turned out a bit blurry:
My arm! Yes that streak is what showed up this morning from being burnt last night!
A closer view, that's not a scratch folks, that's 125ma PHR-803T burn!
Oh, this thing pops balloons with ease too! This pop was done at about 10' distance. I took this right after I scorched my arm.
