oh boy another golden thread from LP:
1) typical not to be trusted chinese driver
2) theres an ebay thread for this, not that anyone cares about those drivers anyway
3) what are you surprised at? that they are mass produced? why do you think they cost like 7$ a piece?

They don't look like they would handle the current for a two watt laser diode from the size of that small semiconductor device/valve on it, but maybe it will. They sell these drivers for eight bucks if you just want one. I have some much lower current blue single mode 450nm diodes I'm considering them for, maybe try one and see if it will adjust down to 300 mills. I'd rather have a driver rated for a higher output running at low output than the other way around, if it will adjust that low.
