have you tried using clear acrylic? i find it surprising that you get 120mW at 110mA with a lens which would normally reflect blue back to source.

How far away is the lens from the diode?wannaburn said:Okay, I switched out the acrylic with the BR acrylic. Happy to say it makes for a nice beam, with the output of the glass, and characteristics of the DVD lens. Im still amazed with the ability to focus this beam down and burn @ 30+ feet with ease. One difference with the lens is that it has to be further away from the diode. Ill be taking some more pics tonight, as it is still dusk in my timezone
