Youtube of my new laser - senkat diode - lighting up a match at about 5 feet distance. Ignore all the electronics stuff running on the protoboard - they're part of other projects, and just serve as a load on my regulated supply so no spikes to the diode. Set to music no less! :!

Enjoy:

Because it most likely does not have all the parts needed for the application. Are there any regulators included with it?

I found it on Radio Shack's website. I believe what you have are 7805 voltage regulators and they should be marked. These are not recommended for the driver for a red diode.
