I haven't made anything with an LPC-826 yet :p actually never an LPC or any open can diode :p well now I have :)

Here's some build photos

Diode pressed into an aluminum module

All wired up shrink tubing & all

The finished product :)

Overall it's nice :) I like the red, it's not too powerful but it's a nice laser :) it uses a Aixiz acrylic lens & an anodized red aluminum heatsink with a 19mm focus adapter :) when I use 1 x fully charged 18650 it is almost as strong as with 2 16340 as its a low dropout linear :)

Hopefully it lasts a while :D


:thanks: for looking

Nice looking build. It should last a while no problem at that current. I like the beamshot across the garage.

Nice! , I have 2 LPC's , ...crazy thing is, They are both set at 500mA and they both do EXACTLY 500mW, so a nice 1mW/1mA :)
