Hey all! I'm totally new to forums and lasers so bear with me if i'm a total noob and you all hate me for this post.
I ordered a 405 nm diode from stonetek and an aixiz housing. I wanted to put it all in a host that looks decent, but not too pricey. I got the Coleman MAX Led with 6 AA batteries and i got recharable AA batts to hopefully save on price if this all fails.
On to the Problem : I can't get the top off the blasted light. It won't twist, snap, budge or otherwise move. Any ideas?
(btw, i don't have vice grips or anything like that, i'm new to DIY stuff too....)
Thanks!
EDIT : I got a v3 chip (set to 180 ma) as well so i don't burn the diode the moment i hook it up.
