very nice, mpmitch! what exactly is the lens you use and do you perchance know if 6x bluray diodes on the consumer market today are typically products of Sharp?
Answer to the last question i run it for 1 hour with no problem's the cooling is good on this laser the laser runs at 150mw and come with two new cr2's i am very happy with this laser i am working on a new laser module now i should be posting soon.
Well, I ended up getting this. Showed up yesterday morning. At first everything seemed fine, and I left positive feedback. I got maybe 15 minutes of use out of it (Not continuous, longest I had it on was two minutes) and it's dead. It was working fine when I turned it off, but the next time I turned it on I had a dim dot that quickly faded away to nothing, just a very faint flicker on the diode. I figured that the batteries Mitch sent with it probably didn't have a full charge, so I bought some more today, same thing.
