I have just routinely disposed of the little 5MW laser module whenever I needed an AixiZ housing for a red burner...
Well..today I was a little bored..so I took one of those Laser diodes with the circuit board attached, and hooked it up to a 3.0 volt Cr-123 battery..
I discovered there is a small green LED on that circuit board that lights whenever the diode is powered!
Just what good it does when it's mounted inside the round Aixiz housing, I have no idea...but it is kinda neat!
Wanted to share....I'm easily impressed some times!
