Makeit pop balloons so it's useful for a party.

The problem with those is they tend to get bent

I'll get that to you within a few days, don't have a caliper on me. It works great and puts the diode in slightly more than flush without bending the pins.

I use a burst disk like this :)

Did one of my hosts today. Pics coming up

So a buck for my diodes but a boost if i was doing a 445 nm right?

Thank you, you answered my question.

Do IR and Red diodes need a boost driver though, or can they just run on a linear like a ghost drive with one 18650 3.7v

I know wavelengths. I have goggles for both 650nm and 808nm. My eyes are very important. What driver does the Lazerer rifle 200mw 650nm use because it is only powered by one 18650?

When driving an infrared or 650 NM red laser do I absolutely have to have two 18650 batteries without a boost driver? Just wondering as both dots seem very dim when driving with a linear and one 18650.... are boost drivers complicated to make? Thanks.

Should it look red?

Ok so I connected it up and it seems way underpowered, could it be the ir one but i just see the IR?

Both are the same power, correct?

I have a heat sink. Are both of them 650nm and that power output? The other one doesn't have numbers on the back like that one but pretty much looks the same.

I pulled two diodes out of an old 16x lg cd drive. What are the pin layouts on these? Same as the lpc diodes? Would like to know their power and recommended amperage. Thanks for the help.
