Just because I have the tools I tend to build my own hosts. Both of these are a work in progress but getting there. Hex one it a 120mw bule and the one with the clear cover a 200mw red.

I'm sure many people have see the same thing but the glass optics for red are the way to go. I tried it on my blue laser but it didn't do anything probably because the IR coating it optimized for red. Anyway I put it on my red laser and there is a way visible increase in output. I don't have a...
So I just got my new rckstar driver and dummy load. I wired it up to the dummy load and adjusted to 120ma. Circut gets warm so I assume it's working. I then soldered on n 803 diode and nothing. Thinking I had a bad diode I took off the diode and re-attached the dummy. Everything tested good...
So I have 3 or 4 blu lasers up and running and the same number in the garbage can looking like dim blue LED's. I haven't used the 1 ohm resistor method of measuring current to the diode and generally check current at the battery. Knowing the drain on the battery is different than the current...
