noob needs some expert guidance

HI all,

I have been messing around with various lasers purchased from ebay etc for the past couple of months. Moving forwards I would appreciate some help from the experienced forum members if possible.

I would like to power 6 635nm 40mW diodes from a single battery source. I would like it to run for about 2 hours if possible.

Can someone please recommend the best source for diodes and diode drivers etc and give some advice regarding wiring diagrams and suggested battery packs?

This is a big ask I know but I would rather make progress quickly rather than have an epic fail.

many thanks in advance

Why don't you post what you have come up so far on your own, and we can help you go from there.

Need more info?? what do you plan on doing with such a setup? do you have safety glasses? what type of budget are you working with? ETC,...

Hi , not much information to go on maybe we need a better crystal ball.
Best of luck wish you well )

1st off put more information on your self such as were you are in the world! No one is going to help you with out that! 2nd There is a search bar at the top and bottom of the page use that before posting some thing like this. We see hundreds of these kind of threads and it has gotten to the point were most of the vets just dont care to answer them! 3rd why not do some research to see what you come up with then if you get stuck then ask a question! I know its a novel concept but every one wants it to be easy and photonic any thing is not! Good luck and May God have mercy on your soul because we wont!
