Hey everybody,
Today i received my kit from survival lasers :wave:
So i have one with a copper heatsink 3 element glass lens and a 1.5A driver My diode is an M-140 from flaminpyro. With a good efficiency :eg:
So i assembled the laser, soldered the driver to the diode. Protected the soldering with heatshrink.
This is what it looks like now:
I got it with the extension tube which is very nice By the way :shhh:
But here is the thing.... :undecided: this it it compared to a 1.2W Rifle:
You can barely see the beam ?!? It is super weak and after 20 seconds it fades out..
I allreadt tried two different kinds of 18650's with the extension tube and two diferent 16340's without the extensiontube.
What could be the problem? Iexpected this to be even brighter as my Rifle>?
greetings,,
