PS: Sorry if pics are low res....If they aren't working for you (like they aren't working for me) just go here: Laser Lighter Photos by myminecraftemail29 | Photobucket

Whaddaya think? I have LD positive and battery positive to a switch, and a wire from ld negative to battery negative.

I would love all that, except you must remember this is inside of a Bic Lighter. I have run out of room...even my battery is sticking out of the bottom! (pics in a few minutes)

I tried soldering the pads (I feel proud of myself for figuring it out :) ) but I ended up covering up 2 pads with solder (it's pretty damn difficult to get it perfectly on those tiny pads!). I can't get it off, and am not in the position to drop $15....

Thanks!

I'll try to upload some pics later today, I also "ditched" using 2 button cells (they somehow couldn't even power the dang thing) and am now using a little 12v battery (sticks out the bottom, but whatever).

Hi guys, I just finished my first project ("laser Bic lighter") and I want to do another... I'm looking for a more powerful laser than the 5mw one I used in my Bic lighter... Where do I go? And also, if I just buy the diode, will it only come in 1 size? If not, how do I determine which...
