No, you can still use the aixiz housing. And there's lower than 16x, like 8x, but why would you want to go lower? ;D

It might, I really don't know since I haven't seen anybody make a laser with an 8x diode. Have you tested the diode? How does it look? Is it an open can or a closed can? If it's an open can then it'll probably be 18x or 20x. Post some pics.
An open can diode looks like this:

im using 8x diodes and as far as i can tell they burn about as good as 16x. i can slice through black electrical tape and pop balloons pretty much instantly at about 5ft. have yet to try matches. i need to buy some cigars too :p

Switch, not bad for a 8x LD :cool: . What current are you putting in it?

Re: du u have to use a 16X dvd burner diode in you

Well I'm not sure it's 8x, it just didn't say anything anywhere on the writer.My ampmeter showed barely over 100mA when I measured it.I know that can't be right, so I gave up on trying to understand it ;D

Re: du u have to use a 16X dvd burner diode in you

do you perchance have its model number written on a label somewhere on drive's cover?
by the speed this thing burns, i'd say the current is much higher than 100mA
