This is my blue laser, driver Tank007, set as 1170mA.

Thank rhd ;)

Which light is the driver out of? Tank007 is a company, not a flashlight. heh. They sell many different types of flashlights, and to my knowledge, don't make laser drivers.
 
Oh heh. the AK-007 drivers have nothing to do with TANK007. TANK007 is the name of a flashlight manufacture. AK-007 is just the name of this particular driver.

But regardless. Glad yours works well. Some people are having issues with these drivers now.
 
Thanks a lot. Initially when I get this driver, I checked and found that it has three working modes, and the highest measured current is 350mA, voltage is 3.68 v. However, this driver when connecting with blue diode, it only works at low levels, only about 200mW and works well in all three modes of high, medium, and flashing. I thought I mistakenly "this driver only for red," and I began work on a red laser. But, when checking out, it works very well, very steady current. When I assembled the host, red laser diode of me died instantly. I think it touched somewhere, I do and also as before. Then the next day, I try to check by test load, short-Mazz 2 wire (-) together is a surprise, jumped to 1170mA current enough to finish 1W blue laser. Therefore, I recommend that you do have problems with AK007, you connect the "-" of the circuit below with the above wires are available, however, it lost the working mode .
 
Actually, that sounds like the problem people are having with them now. So it's a problem with the mode circuitry.
 
Yes, if there is any way to keep the working mode, the result is very good.
 
Kind of sounds like the issue I saw with the NJG-18 drivers as well. sometimes they would just refuse to work properly unless modes were disabled.

To also use NJG-18, however, have not seen any of NJG-18 mode to work on, is totally high-alone mode.
 
I have a ~1.3W 445nm build using a NJG-18 that worked right leaving the modes enabled. Though in all honesty, its probably only around half of those drivers that they actually work reliably on.
 
I don't know if the modes worked reliably on even half of the njg's. I went through as many as four until I found one that was reliable :(

I can see why they were discontinued.

Anyway, :gj: on the build Tomsk.
I have the same host, and was planning to use a AK-007 in it until the problems hit.
 
Actually Ever I still do not have a NJG-18 which operates the working mode. Absolutely not. However, if ever so lucky.

@ Qumefox:
This is a screenshot below of the AK-007, did not know called the AK-007 or call Tank007.

Interesting. I guess these are made either by, or for, tank007

The ones i've gotten haven't said tank007 on them. :thinking:
 
That doesn't look like the AK-007 to me.

Which is a happy revelation, because those AK-007s are really not impressive at this stage :( It's incredibly frustrating that they rev the versions on these things without reving the SKUs.

Yea, I agree. That's why I wanted to know where he got it.
It would be great to find a suitable alternative to the AK-007. :)
