i think this must be a misprint or fraud. i am looking for a high powered green that takes the 18650 battery. do they make 10 watt green laser diodes these days? https://www.widelasers.com/p/303-10000mw-professional-green-laser-pointer-suit-with-18650-battery-charger-black-207.html

Pretty nice, Tung, how much does something like that go for ?

I guess these things are over rated. no body is messing around with these ?

Susie has some some units that are similar or just alike. and she has alot of real nice units. i have been a customer of hers in the past.

Anybody ?

Hi, came across these two laser modules on banggood. they say they are for etching as part of cad system i see some blue 1000 mw pointers for comparable price, but i wonder if the module would last longer or be a true 1000 mw or more depending on which one was bought? 450nm 1W 1000mW Blue Laser...

i dont think too many kids are really going to be building a laser like that. for one thing money.. but even if one did it, that would be one too many. as it is, i heard a story on npr just a few days ago about the "powerful green lasers" and what happens if you shine one at a cop in a...

Thanks Daguin, what wattage do you use on your iron? how do you "pre-tin" a wire or diode? i saw in the video where the guy pre tins his iron by just putting some solder on a clean tip.. so are you saying just heat the wire or diode pin a little and touch a little solder to it? actually, what...

Thanks for your comments. will definitly check out flaminpyro's tools. Tonga, when you say you adjusted the diode to center it, was that with a vice and a tool to push down on the diode, like i was using a tiny socket? or were you using something to push on just push the high side down a...

sorry, i dont have a camera that will take really good pics up close. yes, the end result is optics. this is a simple question about diode installation to someone who has done it before.

hello, i gently installed a blueray diode into an aixiz module, using a hobby vice and very small socket as a tool to press the diode into the aixiz. it seemed to seat ok, but it looks to the eye like the diode is a just little bit cockeyed in the aixiz. the diode is just below the flush...

Thanks, points well taken, i will find some old circuitry board and practice on that.

hi, came upon this product the other day on the web. since i havent soldered much, i thought this might be an option for me. called wire glue, it is a conductive glue meant to be used in place of soldering. so you can cold-solder a connection with this stuff. i dont know if it is available at...

OK, i got'm both today. diodes arrived in the antistat envelope inside a chew can( give up chew'n, you'll be glad you did ten years from now, trust me) inside a big brown evelope. and the test load arrived today also, thanks matt. well, it's been real. thanks for all the hard work. hope it...

no diodes or test load yet here in pittsburgh, pa.
