Bright flash then dim

I recently ordered a laser kit from odicforce with the LPC-815 diode. I assembled everything and when I turn it on I get a very bright flash of red for a fraction of a second then the output goes very dim (like I can only see it in the dark). It does this each time I turn it on. I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

Details: The power supply ran my test load (an led) just fine and consumed 200mw of power just as it was supposed to. Also the switch works just fine because when I bypass the switch the laser does the same thing. I'm not sure where my problem might be.

Has anyone else had this problem?
