The driver will heat up during normal use. And yes, you bought an infrared diode which is barely visible. You saw "to produce green laser" but just the diode will not do this. You need to pass the laser through a crystal, which is more than you bargained for I assume. This laser is not bright but very dangerous. It will blind you before you can react because it's so dim in appearance. Be careful.

Buy your diodes from DTR'S lasers. Search him on Google. He is a member and an excellent supplier of our diodes. If ebay is your fancy, buy from seller tech hood. .
638nm 650nm is red. 532nm 520nm green, 405nm violet, 445nm blue . However the 532 is not just a diode, it's the 808nm you got already with the crystal to make it green. All the others are diode. I strongly recommend DTR. All the diodes he sells are more what you need. Make sure to get one with a driver already wired. It's worth it trust me
