Ok so what makes laser glasses so special from say blue tint lenses? I know thew are not the same, but just for everyones clarification (mine too)lol. I only ask because I have military laser shades posted on here so I'm good but I also have several different blue tint shades that are the same...

Re: Finally done it It sucks being dislecsic. 90% I am ok but 10% I get messed up, especially on abbreviations, like GA as AG. and thanks for answering my ? on the battery although it can hit 8+ volts on a full charge so I plan on running it down a little before running the driver

Re: Finally done it Yeah just realised that.... :D Also is that LIPO too much power for the Rkcstr?

Well after all the wonderful help I have gotten on this site I have ordered a 22x LG drive and a Rkcstr driver to build my 2nd laser. I asked for the driver to be set at 420ma, as this is what I keep reading is the sweet spot for these lasers. I have a DDL homebuilt driver powering a now toast...

Hey sorry for the off topic ? but did you copper coat that Axiz or is it lighting?

Around 50mw at 2.9v turned mine into an LED. I think its an LED now will post pics and stuff in a new post

I had a 8x gave it 200 and poof, its an LED now. IT officialy went poof into an led at a little over 50 though but it still "works" to make a weak point. This was using DDLs homebuilt driver with a 7.4v lipo and adjustable resistors by screw terminals.

Thank you skrankesvin.

I have a couple of these wth 4 pins, what are the + and - pins

Ok so after reading it all I got most questions answered so I figured I'D post results: all were taken with 7.4v lipo 1 ohm 712ma 3.2o 217ma 4.4o 157ma 5o 136ma 10o 73ma With the 4.4o I am getting 1.7 to 2.14 volts on an IR diode.

Ok so not reading thru all 50 (after first 5 and seing all these different things used here and there) something pages I have built this exactly as shown on the protoboard on page 1, except used the 25 ohm rheostat suggested from RS. Now is there anything to change to power a 22x LG diode. Sorry...

I am gonna just buy a few but i figured with all the junk I have laying around I might already have something decent to "play" with. Any ideas with the printer laser? Maybe the average mW for most.

I am currently building the LM317 driver and getting 6 scrap dvd burners so thats my plan there. Honestly I didn't see anything on a cheap laser pointer driver but only went about 5 pages in on most posts. As far as the IR goes google is no help I spent 4 hours digging through places to buy a...

This is my first real try to do a laser the right way with a driver and all. But I have some questions about what power my little precious might be.  There are markings on the diode reading 5A1A 312, any help?  Also I know the dangers of IR so I might just scavenge some reds instead but this has...
