really? cause my blu-ray's beam is REALLY dim. As in, you can barely see it at all. how many mA is yours running at? cause mine has a horrible pot that is really unstable and normally backs down to 35 mA(maybe thats why its so dim) when I try to put it at ~40

I can see the violet beam in the dark with my PS3 diode @ 38mA's. Measures 16.7mW's. The color of the beam in your picture looks like my RPL Blu-ray, which is 473nm. Now that one has a very visible beam in the dark. And you can see the beam in a lit room as well...

Agreed! Great job Jake. I'm just saying that the last picture you posted, shows a 'bluer' beam than 405nm for some reason...

it looks blue cause thats how the camera picked it up. something with the light sensor makes blu-rays look actually blue instead of violet.

and yeah you did a good job on this! I am currently putting mine in a project box cause I don't feel like going through the trouble to put it in a flashlight or anything lol
