The axiz lens WONT burn out if the back is openned. btw i killed a 445 for using the lm317t driver with a 0.2 ohm resistor insted os 1 ohm. My meter was damaged and the reading was terrible. (the outuput was huge of course!! probably more than 2W) it lasted 5 min or so -.- and gess what, i was...

Hey. I recommend you tu use the FlexDrive v5 from Dr.Lava, it costs 26$. It has a max range of 1.5A and it´s a quite efficient driver, almost every one uses the v5. At 1.5A, you should get 1700mW. Keep in mind that at those currents ( above 1W ) any driver will produce alot of heat and it´s a...

Dude, you´re directly responsible for my laser addiction! Thanks ;)

So you say that using 5x 1N4001 diodes is the best for testing a 445 diode right? In modwerx, there is a test load circuit wich has 6 diodes, do i need to remove one or it doesnt really matter if i use 6?

Hey. You can use the flex drive v5 from Dr.Lava, use the preset current option when ordering one. If you plan to drive your diode at that current you will need to heatsink the driver using thermal glue and a piece of aluminum.

hey. I didnt solder the wires. this was just a quick set up, i used tape xP

hey. i did set the current and the pot was alright. but dont understant one thing, why cant i use the laser as a test load? doesnt the test load simulate the resistance of the diode? Whats u mean by DMM

I was about to that, cuz i notice that thre are some gaps between the module andthe heatsink. thanks man

Yeah i already covered the connections to be safe. thanks!

I just connected the laser to the driver and set the current.

no, I didnt have one at the time.

sorry i didnt know that this was a tipical output of a 140´s diode. What about other 445nm diodes? do they have this stripes aswell? My last diode had a clean light and seemed so much powerfull.

Your right, the top of the pot is missing! but i dont understand.. it keeps outputing 1.5A xD

My last 445 laser had a very neat light, there wasnt a single stripe. So i thought that this had some kind of problem. Yes I have a meter and my batt is fully charged. btw i´m using 405/445nm lens from o-like.

Hey everyone. So basicly i got a A140 diode recently and it seems to be a problem. Since I turned it on for the first time, the output hasnt been normal at all. The laser is well heatsinked and i´m running it at 1.5A with the micro flex drive heatsinked powered by a 18650 lipo batt. See it for...

lol how did you?

Where did you get the coper heatsink?? I have the same flashlight! bought it on dealextreme :)

Thanks ;) I´m still getting used to this place, it´s a bit confusing.

Hi. Do you still make these heatsinks? If yes i´d like to take 2.
