Greetings everybody. For the past couple of years I've been building really cool high powered LED fixtures (reef lights, DJ lights, whatever), but have been frustrated when dealing with lasers. Commercial fixed lasers are either uber expensive, or total junk. There's nothing in the middle. Quite awhile ago I thought about using LED drivers with laser modules, but I was instantly told it wasn't possible. Now I'm reading that the big 445's are being powered by fairly generic current regulated LED drivers.
Ok, that changes things - big time. If LED boost drivers are stable enough to do this, then I don't see why LuxDrive Bucks couldn't do the same - or am I missing something? These in turn are easily driven by low voltage AC input power supplies, which is why I'm asking. My next question is if this works with the big 445's would it also work with >100mW Greens and the popular 200mW red?
I have a ton of projects waiting and a lot ofvery cool stuff to build if indeed the LED driver approach works, so any advice welcome.
