Yes, Watt = Volt * Ampere
If you multiply the Voltage and the current supplied to the diode, you get how much power it draws.
After that you have to consider the driver efficiency.
If you have a single battery, then the driver had to work in boost mode (which is usually less efficient). Take a...
Hello Ryan
The battery I choosen are a bit oversized for that diode.
Anyway my calcs was these:
The diode current draw is 2A @ 4,9V so it consume about 10W. If you take in consideration the driver efficiency, you get about 12W of power comsumption.
With two li-ion batteries in series you...
The host with aluminum heat sink costs 80$ and the two copper heatsinks 45$.
I bought the laser with module + driver + lens from DTR's shop, so you can find the prices there ;)
Since the diode was already soldered to the driver and fitted in the module, all I did was to put the module in the...
Hello guys 👋🙂
It’s been too many years since my last build. In these years many new amazing diodes have been commercialized, so I wanted to try something "new".
Personally I don't like the DPSS laser tech: even if the beam shape can be better, they are more unstable and temperature-sensitive...
it's not a cni for sure.
i heard rayfoss buys from Viasho so maybe it's a Viasho unit...
yes this fact is true. if you look in the video when i'm moved near to the laser, the beam gradually become less bright.
do you know the why of this effect?
~translated~ message: (scrivi in inglese -> write in english please :P)
i don't remember how they shipped me...
anyway i have paid the customs... about 20€ but nevermind, it's an amazing laser :P
the laser you linked haven't the IR filter. I think it's better to have it: i want to see ALL the...
