Yes and I really suggest that you read some tutorials and beginner threads in this forum, they can help you alot. I really hope that you take safety seriously when it comes to lasers. I am a bit worried that you learn by trial and error because this is something that can seriously damage your...

I am surprised you did not read the description of that eBay module you found! NO I am not laughing at you and telling you lies, I am actually trying to help you! How old are you? And where are you from? Please read the eBay description of the module you linked..!

YES you can! :can:

Uhhmm where are the hidden cameras?? :thinking: Did you read my previous post? Yes...

Yes it is, and just to clarify - what you found there is the same principle as the Aixiz module I linked earlier. The one you found has better heatsinking, but a bigger total module diameter. You should find out which host you want to put that module in - host hold batteries, driver and the...

Yes they actually do - well not modules i agree on that, but a collimating/focus lense they most certainly need to be able to burn.

ALL laser diodes need focusing if you want to burn stuff, at least at low mW like the one you have choosen. You cannot take a unfocused 300mW laser and burn with it, no matter what! Whats your grudge about when it comes to focusing a laser?! Buy the diode, throw it in a focusable Aixiz module...

You have got to be kidding me!! Seriously he was trying to what!?! Only way to focus a laser like this, without using external optics, is to adjust the lens, if adjustable (it can be eventhough the host is not focisable. So how he could end up tearing it totally apart is beyond me. I would make...

Damn thats annoying! I have had issues with PayPal overruling the delivery address entered at webshops. I guess its to prevent some scams where the delivery address differs from PayPals information. Its piss annoying if the invoice states otherwise and that should be pointed out to O-Like. The...

It seems someone at least had good experiences with them, getting fast replies and all. Odd how its so inconsistent when it comes to a simple thing like replying to questions.

Haha I just saw, must have been tired when I read that post. A camera is just a digital cornea anyway ;-) I have my iPhone to prove it. After taking a lot of beamshots etc all of the sudden all the images have this ultra tiny pinkish dot in the top left corner :crackup:

Indeed IR lasers are bad for cameras. That goes for any wavelength if the power is high enough and focused.

Just toss that chinese crap pointer, or try to fix it if you have some safety goggles! Doing that to RadioShack would be extremely shitty and a total lack of respect and honesty. In fact the thought it self is rather messed up and tbh I hope you were kidding. Scamming someone else because you...

What I did when I had to extract a module form one of those was to use a Dremel multitool with a angle grinder disk. Then I just cut the host from the end till right after the module and then it was no problem to expand the host and just pick the module up. I made sure that the emitting end of...

I have never grounded myself, my tools or anything related to my workplace, and have never killed a diode. It may be pure luck that I havent, and as such this is no guarantee that it wont happen eventually :-) Crossing that bridge when I get to it. I have killed several diodes in various other...

Hope you had a nice holiday - naow get back to work and send me my kit ;-) haha

Looking at their 27$ish lasers they are almost all set for 100mW, so swapping with a LPC diode should be no problem, if it is accessible in the host you have. Like offroadfreak said, some pics would probably help a lot. What duty cycle did you run your laser at? EDIT: Just noticed that it is a...

Compared to wholesellers, O-Like are specializing in one area and for the same reason their order backlog will be significant smaller and alot faster to process. I have ordered from Pickegg.com in the past, and after two weeks my package hadnt even left the country. From my experience with...

I havent had issues with payment before. Try to send them a mail, maybe they are unaware of the problem.

If you receive your laser and the caps you have dont fit then you can buy a set of 5 caps from o-like for 6.99USD. EDIT: They seem to sell those caps for most of their lasers so it should be standard sizes. 5 patterns diffraction cap /for red,green.blue laser [OL-D-5] - $6.99 : Zen Cart!, The...
