@ OP - Please read the links in my sig and search from there. No one's going to spoon feed you. You have to put effort in. The hobby as a whole is not cheap and it sounds like you will be wasting some of those, "cheap", modules, or diodes with potmod :huh:, or whatever you think you are after...

^ Come on JaiNobeZ, he says South London. How specific do you want? :na: M :)

^ I think he means what duty cycle for the laser, not if the diode is pulsed. How long can you run it before it gets too hot in other words... M :)

Re: teen killed because of Laser ^ You're not paranoid if they really are out to get you! M :)

Yes, cool looking laser but not good from a build quality point of view. For a well built laser you would do better buying one from a member, having someone build one for you, or building one yourself. Most of your other questions can be answered with a, "Oui!". I can build one for you, as...

Hi Adam and a BIG WELCOME to LPF!!! Not to put a damper on your enthusiasm, it's always nice to see, but a yellow laser is not an easy task! Very complicated and potentially very expensive. I'm not sure anyone has assembled one from discreet parts although it's not unreasonable to build one...

Re: teen killed because of Laser ^ Not so sure on that one. Low power pointers, (even lower than they're supposed to be too I suspect! :D ), are available from street vendors in Greece. It's a common, cheap toy that's picked up by UK tourists, as well as many others. No need for a, "Mister...

I will post it once again... If you want to buy specifically from within the UK then drop me a PM. I've built a fair few for folks in the UK. I've used Jayrob's kits, (very good), Odicforce kits, (good starter kits), Skyray hosts with custom internals with one of the first dual driver builds -...

Re: teen killed because of Laser ^ Protests over the fact Greece is bankrupt, again, and requires yet another bail out from the European Monetary Fund, again. I wish I had that many lasers when I'm bankrupt... ! M :)

I would keep an eye on this thread for the time being - http://laserpointerforums.com/f41/dragonlasers-589nm-50mw-very-displeased-so-far-lpm-7mw-24mw-64890.html DragonLasers seem to have slipped. At least for this deal. It is still ongoing though so awaiting the final outcome will be best...

Welcome to LPF too! I'm a UKer and it's always good to see others joining. Where in the UK are you? Rugby just seems too obvious... The plotter idea is a great one. It may be a little complex for the wee lad but the getting there with the sub-assemblies will be fun. Most of us can help with...

Re: teen killed because of Laser Hard to condemn the laser user too much when it was probably bought by someone ignorant to the dangers and sold to him in Greece on holiday! Yes, it was stupid, yes, it would have annoyed me too but stabbing the guy? Bit OTT if you ask me. Hardly a balanced...

Repped for all those that couldn't... ... Also, those dual ones in the quote below look like they just have room on the flats for a couple of combining cubes. A little tweaking of the Aixiz and correct polarisation and I think you've got a dual output setup ready to go. M :)

That looks just like the Viasho hosts. Even down to the off centre battery compartment. If you look at pic #2 you can see a black sticker that covers the break point between the top, ribbed part and the main body. The one that I saw said something like, "Void if broken", and clearly destroys any...

The only answer you wouldn't have found is the one about similar diodes. Usually the diodes mentioned and sold here are the best value for the output so you're not likely to find mention of others. It's only price for that diode that you can look for. The other answers you should be able to...

Heck of a first post there buddy. Welcome to LPF! Say, "Hi...", in the, 'Welcome', section. Not all diodes have at least three pins. What about IRs? They sometimes only have two. You know, I'm sure I read recently that there was a new diode or module out that was conversely wired. Was it a...

No, no Craig. LPF helps those that help themselves. That was pretty lazy of you there. If you've been using the forum for information for a, "long time now", you should know how we operate. In fact you should know the answer to most of your questions too. Please try harder. All the answers are...

The module should just need 3.2V applying and you're good to go. It will have a driver fitted but at 35mA draw will not drive a burning diode unless it has a LOT of adjustment, and that's unlikely I'm afraid. It can be used to house a different diode however but you'll need some tooling or some...

The beginnings of a laser enthusiast can be humbling and frustrating can't they? Don't worry it happens to us all. Have a look at the link in my sig and that may help. To the diagnosis of your observations, there are a few things here... Firstly, when you hooked the first diode up direct to...
