juan, thanks again! your hard work helps me to understand the magic happening in these diodes. man your pics are worth 10,000 words.

You're going to like this diode jander. i held off for a while but i'm glad i dropped the cash. it has very nice color and good beam too. btw - thanks even tho i was off a bit.

Re: GB: Dragon Lasers Diffraction Gratings it's good of you to do this. wish i'd have waited to order my set

dtr sells the pl520/microboost combo. maybe he'll chime in with how he sets the current. imo the 6th setting will do just fine. check the output on both settings tho just to see the difference.

great review on a great product. considering the price, response time becomes a small issue in my mind. i agree with sinner. i'd bet the manufacture is working on this. the only downside i see is my laserbee has lost some resale value.

some very nice work there dwu! keep it up.

sounds like heaven steve! wish i were there. the city - not heaven just yet. really tho, what ever city you are in sounds like a place that would be good to live in. to get back on topic.......thanks for all the good info.

you will need 2 cells to run the laser if the driver is the x-drive that dtr uses.

Re: 9mm 445nm Troubles glad your diode is ok! it's not a good idea to direct drive them with just a battery tho...

jordan, you are indeed the man! i hope these work out well for you and the community. here's to hoping they are not like the mits 635 and have a nice beam:beer:

hope you can find it ped. what kind of snake is he/her?

imo i think the whole thing sucks really hard. just my opinion tho.... is it supposed to be funny or what? being an old fu*k i just don't get it

i have an old heathkit hene laser tx-rx setup. thanks for explaining just how it works. good job on your project!

the 18350's will work in a c6, kryton, and the skyray sr-5 too, but the endcap spring needs to be shortened a bit. i use them whenever i can.

the blitzbuck is by far the better choice for a high powered m140 build. i've used this driver myself in a few builds. you will need to power it with 2 cells, preferably 3.7v cells

skeez sorry about the hijack i believe so. and 6v may be enough to deliver the 1.8A to the diode. but once the voltage sags just a little the driver wouldn't output the 1.8A to the diode. the diode would still lase, but with less output. you don't just need the mAh's you must also provide...

i noticed that also with that tube. at the time i thought it was just some sort of "defect" in my cheapo diffraction grating and never gave it any more thought. live and learn.

6v would be cutting it close for full output. the cr123a's would probably run out of juice pretty quick too i think. your best bet here is to use the rechargeables. oh when i mentioned the flexdrive i forgot to say that you couldn't use 2x 3+v batts. the flex is limited to just a 5.5v input...

if the survival laser's driver is a linear or buck driver it's gonna need the diode's vf ~4.5v plus the drivers vf to function at it's rated amps. 4.2v isn't gonna cut it. if perchance it's a /buck/boost like a flexdrive most any battery combo will do. i went to the website and it said this...
