Bump.

Just as the title says, looking to buy a 3 mode 445nm laser with equal to or greater than 1.2 watts. preferably using a CR18650 battery. pm me offers :)

^ this guy. LOL

should i run it at 9v at 500ma? what would you consider optimal? i cant find any information on the diode.

i didnt say i bought it. lol but damn! 600mw? probably need a big ass heatsink for that

yea i have the diode out already lol

how many mA for one of these diodes? Newegg.com - HP Black 12X BD-R 2X BD-RE 16X DVD+R 12X DVD-RAM 8X BD-ROM SATA Internal Blu-ray Burner Blu-ray Burner bd340i LightScribe Support

it works fine though, its just not very bright...maybe it is only putting out 10mw...but even if it is that's not the power I'm looking for; i want slight beam visibility.

well there's 2-10 ohm resisters and a 100ohm pot. it was reading 50mA, i lowered it to 35mA (i'm gonna label my units from now on lol) anyway its still dim as hell, i think i might buy a more powerful diode, any suggestions for a blu ray diode/heatsink?

okay, i hooked up the same driver as in the picture (very basic) i read somewhere that it is supposed to have ~200mA the laser is not very bright at all, i know you said 10mw, but i think it should be a lot brighter than it is... im reading about 50 with the pot maxed, should i remove a...

Hopefully 3v didn't destroy it :( I will definitely start building a driver, if i find the diode still works, i will make it smaller. lol thanks for the help guys! :)

Hey guys, I just replaced my friends PS3 by replacing the optical pickup on the condition that i get to keep the old one. Anyway, I extracted the Blu Ray diode off of the old pickup and i soldered a wire to the ground and positive. I connected this directly to a CR123A battery just to see if it...

hahahaha! very nice!

any ideas for specimens?

Has anyone tried this? I suck at MS paint :P It will project a magnified version of what is on the mirror on a wall the laser has to have a close FP so the image expands when it is reflected on the wall. and also a tripod for the laser is probably required for a steady image. here is a...

haha oh man, i got off work at 11pm yesterday lol i live off calle de oro. hbu?

hahaha i haven't but you might have seen my 200mw green? lmao last night a meteorite crashed a couple houses away from me, pretty awesome lookin.

hahaha did you ever lase the lights on calle de oro? when you make a right at the stop sign coming from la posada you can seriously hit like 3 lights in a row to shut them off LOL!

well, sparks, wingfield springs how about you?

lol nice car is that a 300?
