This little pos LD took a massive beating. Not only was there an accidental reversal of polarity that went on for quite some time while I was trying to figure out why I wasn't getting any light, but after I got it running I cranked the sucker up as bright as I could get it until it maxed out...

What was it you were hoping for???

+1 Nice work! I like your first post also... Keep at it!

+1 edit: gotta spread some first lol I have been using this app for a year now and its pretty accurate, its a must have when you are outdoors, especially nowadays... Thanks for posting...

Thanks adam, I saw that one too. I just didn't know if the diode he was describing was the same exact one I have. But after doing a lot of reading, and understanding how case positive works, it can only be one or the other, just like Morgan said :thinking: Soon as I have some extra time I'm...

Welcome to the forum! Thats pretty cool that ya'll used this forum to do research :D there are many extremely intelligent people here who hopefully can see your quick need and therefore provide you with everything you will need to get a handle on the project. All I know about optics is this...

Yes, the link you used in the OP has it set to the unanodized option; however, you might want to use copper, it's supposed to handle heat better... I have the regular size copper heatsink and a M140 with the driver set to 1.5 amps and I can keep it running for 5 minutes before it starts getting...

Nice job, I love when I can see some great creative beam shots! Well done. :beer:

Why not just keep reading peoples posts until you have figured out how to build your own??? Plus, its way more fun... :D Best of luck :beer:
