hehe...kk
The module consumes ~350mA @ 3.2V from my lab-powersupply. (Edit: used magnetclips on one CR123)
Here you go 100mW 532nm + 1.2W 445nm (for comparison):










Btw.: If someone would like to buy such an 532nm module, here you go: http://www.ebay.com/itm/532nm-100mw...068?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c1cbe807c

eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace

Yes I bought it in the end...

Labelled as 1W but says <10W on the actual label..

They add up aswell because of the 2 defects in the sticker at the top of each corner.

Hopefully styro pyro is doing something with it for me.

Posting pictures and talking about guns on a "LASER" forum is both stupid and threatening to others (even though most of us have them).

Keep it to yourself.
