Does this look legit to you guys? I was thinking of purchasing one and using a Micro Flex Drive to drive this, and finding a flash light host that holds three AA or AAA batteries. Opinions and feedback please. Thanks!

Yes, it is legit! You will wait for more than 10 days if you do not use EMS at $30.00 shipping. Can you solder a simple circuit? Also you must discharge the capacitor before attaching the laser diode. Good Luck!

...no

i'll bet you the diode is the exact same we're already using, LPC-815.

save yourself the shipping time, and money and jsut go to modwerx.com

Hello, I have bought this laser, but I m not able to make it burn, I have attached a 9v battery, but nothing. I have toyed to increase the power up to 18v, but still no result, to you know how to operate this kind of laser?
Thanks

I think you shouldn't give more than 9V to the driver. Even if it can handle it, as I think it's a linear driver, every unused volt will be wasted and converted into heat.
Are you sure you focused the laser properly, as in this video ? The dot must be as small as possible where you want to burn, and will be larger if you shine your laser to a further wall.

Otherwise, can you check the current delivered by your battery using a multimeter ?
And what are you trying to burn ? Dark things will burn much easier than light ones as they do not reflect beam. With 300mw you should be able to light matches or make dark plastic smoke quite easily.

Thank you, it works, I have just pooped a balloon. the watts were to low , I had to tune up the potentiometer and focused the lens as you told me.
