I agree the diy reds are awsome... Unfortunatly my first diode got a small peice of plastic on it that fell of the lens cap of the aixis cause i didnt clean it good enuf when i enlarged the whole so it did have a black spot and even with that ( i couldnt see the beam very good either) but it would still light a match i was amazed then i took out my second diode and decided to try it and wow! i ran it off a 7.2v recharable and it didnt have a big blob of molten plastic... I saw the beam so clearly and i could pop baloons across the room instantly which the other one wouldnt do unless the baloon was within like a foot.. Im so amazed by it. (and senkat ran out of aixis housing and i had orderd 2 diodes and 2 aixis housing, so instead of waiting until he got more gues what he went ahead and gave me 2 already in the housing so cool! I could go ahead and start building it right away!!)
