Thats just trippin. I love werewolves (lycanthrope). What are they for, did you make them, and do you sell them. ;D And Fire, thats just balls to the wall.

Man sorry to hear that, I don't know what is up. Mine is still strong after several 20+ minute runs.

1 red and 1 IR Laser. Open can red for DVD and open can IR for CD.

Oh this is too cool! Gonna play it on Christmas all day.

Unlucky one here, caught one side of 480 main (220) here while back at work, it was locked out but the idiots who worked at the plant took the lockout off and turned back on the breaker while I was working on the line. They needed a pump on now, now they need a job. That was an experience I will...

I don't know if it does have a filter or not because when mine gets real cold it doesn't lase green, but when I look at it with my cell camera I see a butt load of IR light, almost like a white led inside the hole. Wouldn't an IR filter block that?

Yes, up to 35 volts, the laser only will get the 3 volts it needs to run and the LM317T dissipates the rest as heat. Note at those levels the heat sinking.

Finding that specific one will be hard as it is a cheap mass produced one. There are soooo many types. I will look at flea markets around here for anything similar, and if I find one I will get it for you as they only cost around $1. It might not have the blue LED though but I will make sure it...

Also try Teflon pipe thread tape, works wonders to tighten up the threads.

Re:  A long title that offers no info about t Looks......... um......... like a ...... Nevermind Actually It seems neat, may be a cool driver to try to hack too. May order a keychain one too. Thanks

Yeah even a 300mw red is nowhere near as "bright" as my 5mw green in open sky (no fog, clouds), but it is visible at 100 yards. (laser straight up at one end of football field, pal at the other)

You can go to 420ma and be ok on a long open can. The voltage stays the same at the laser, its only current that changes. Really the DDL driver needs at least 7 volts to run efficiently, if I'm not mistaken, but could run on 12 volts, with serious heat sinking on the 317. Add another AA to it if...

Walmart has a decent one for $20, if you need it now and a wally is near. Has a pressure switch and other stuff with it. Think It's a BSA. Also a Daisy one in the pellet guns and a crossman, and an airsoft pistol with laser for $20, but its probably a chip diode.

I have a butt load of IR filters out of cameras, those ok to use as a filter, or different IR wavelength use. I love having a friend who owns a camera shop, cause I get all the busted digital cams I want and loads of different optic pieces out of the lenses to play with. Oh I am gonna keep this...

I bought one Monday and like it alot, but wish I was patient enough to wait for shipping on the 50mw from ledshoppe. After seeing the 5mw beam the 50mw must be awesome. Are they worth it to ship to USA. Thinking of taking it back now but my little girls love it, and I think 50mw is too much for...
