Sorry for the noob Question

Could I use this as a driver Velleman Electronic Kits VEL K8071 1W/3W HIGH-POWER LED DRIVER<br><a href="http://www.arcade-electronics.com/velleman_kits.aspx">Electronic Kits Selection Page</a> - Light Applications & Domotics - Arcade-Electronics.Com - Detail I have several old dvd r/rw sitting around and one of these. I have been lurking around here (this forum) for about a month now and I think I'm starting to understand the whole voltage/driver thing . anyways I was hoping this would work as a driver. Thanks In advance

You might be able to use that LED driver depending on what
type of LD you are using...
Remember that the linked to LED Driver's specs state an output
current of 350mA or 700mA... That may be too high for some
Laser Diodes...

Thank you for your answer , next question is. I have a loc and a lcc (red) . From what I've read I think I can use either with this driver? (at 350ma) Also I have a few green pointers that I have taken apart . Could I use the heatsink from 1 of them with the lcc? The little sucker fits in there. I'm just not sure if its enough. Thanks Again ! I look forward to hearing back from you or anyone .
