Here is my first red laser burner using ddl's driver circuit, a stonetek diode, some rechargable CR123's, and a flashlight I found while waiting in line at Lowe's. I've attached a video clip of the laser in action as well as some pictures. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dA1yQWhF3k

Good job! You can't post links until you have over 10 posts (to prevent spammers from spamming).

good work! I don't think I've seen this particular flashlight used before!
anyway, in your second picture, it almost looks as if you have the wire soldered to the battery, am I seeing this corectly?!?!

OH I know what little holes you are talking about! I wouldn't have thought of that. Just one more question, how are you keeping pressure applied to the batteries to keep a connection? It seems that the way you have it the batts would just kinda rattle around. Or is there a place where the circuit board gets stopped by something, applying the required pressure?

Nice work, one tip though, take out that plastic lens that came with the flashlight, it is taking away about 10mw, probably more.
....lazer... ;D ;D ;D

I already took out the clear plastic lens, I needed to be able to access the focus ring of the laser. The silver cone thing(reflector) is what is holding the laser housing. I suppose i confused the term lens and reflector, it should work fine, I think.
