    Can I repurpose a cheap Ebay laser, to use it as a host? (My FIRST POST... yay!)

    Googles, Good Eyes, Good Blind, Bad. 0 = \ X = / Laser Pirate - Good? Bad? Indifferent? Argggh! I guess Laser Ninjas are better!

    Can I repurpose a cheap Ebay laser, to use it as a host? (My FIRST POST... yay!)

    You can more easily use flashlight hosts to replace parts with laser diodes than using laser hosts and swapping parts. Try fasttech.com for some at dirt cheap prices - but the ones that work best, are usually not the 18650 bodies unless you machine a heatsink for it. The Triple "A" or 10440...

    Not trying to be mean, you have a valid point suggesting they introduce themselves first and you post that on every member who doesn't. I don't know my exact wording, but it should have been, "hakzaw does not it like when members do not first post in the welcome section". That was the intended...

    Can’t run my DTR driver when the battery is in the case

    3 probable possibilities already stated! BUT without at least knowing the color and type of diode its impossible to tell. With that driver it could be a lot of different diode combinations. 1.as stated it could be a non-neutral case diode 2.as stated it could be a battery connection 3.could be...

    haksawz doesn't like new members that don't post in the welcome section first. What are you looking for, I may be able to point you in the right direction. Do you have laser goggles? Needed if you are working with anything in the 10s, 100s or 1000s or mw. So you don't burn up your eyeballs.

    Driving a pre-made module from DTR's Laser shop?

    If this is the one you have: https://sites.google.com/site/dtrslasershop/home/diodes/sharp-gh04850b2g-55mw DTRs' website, tells you; you drive it with 2.5-6.0v and something that will handle over 1A current. Read the heading for the one you bought. Which means any SINGLE decent quality 18650...

    Sale thread/ Hosts/Heat Sinks/Focus adapters/lasers

    Thank you for the pics, always nice to have again - I appreciate that. Locking the aixiz lens like that is great idea. I had seen something in the past with a couple steel rulers and an enclosure also, sticks in the back of my head. Just trying to get ideas, I just picked up a 10x expander...

    What is this? O_____O

    Not sure, but with the wiring like it is and not knowing, I would definitely have someone else in the room nearby just in case you light up, especially if it is some form of a leiden jar. Wish you the best.

    Rich do you have anything that works with the nubm044 and the 6x lenses from the group buy? Looking to have something to tame the beast - lab or handheld

    Nice to see someone using this diode and the results

    What is this? O_____O

    looks like something along the lines of the old violet wands and shock therapy. Just add to that a container of mercury, some opium and a bottle of Dr Clark Stanleys' miracle tonic and you have a one man road show medical team. Will cure syphilis, warts, toothaches, woman fevers and grow hair...

    CAREFUL------Watch out on the newer 32650 batteries. Many of them are now 3.2v not 3.7v. Only place I have found 32650 batteries that are decent, are the Feilongs on Ebay. Which I use in my jayrob flashlight. IMHO, stay away from the Trustfire brand. Although I haven't tried their 32650, all...

    Space Discussion Thread

    I strongly disagree. Intelligent life comes from intelligent life. violating that you violate every law in the universe. Systems do not tend toward order, systems left on their own, tend toward chaos. Basic science/chemistry book quoted below: "Second Law of Thermodynamics states that all...

    We are all entitled to an opinion, popular or not. As mentioned, it does not change the facts and whether or not something is true. Calling someone stupid is not a point of argument. SO, Instead, consider this from a purely logical perspective. Lets raise the question; Whether we are or are...

    My Review of the Green Tritium Glowing Key Ring from DX

    I have a 3" - A few years ago someone had some 6" ones for sale on here, haven't seen recently and prices seem to be going up. Fasttech has them also

    My Review of the Green Tritium Glowing Key Ring from DX

    let us know in another 10, half life is 12.3 years so it still should be glowing decently in another 10

    The ABSOLUTE Cheapest Proper Diode driver

    I think the LPC-826 is a little stronger. At 350ma its not pushing either, so really doesn't matter. Heat is a much bigger issue with the size and although the driver is bulletproof, the diode gets very hot and drops a lot in power the longer you run it. That being said, even your hand holding...
