You should always short the driver before making any connections between the driver and diode just as DTR and Jayrob said its a very unfortunate and very common mistake. Good luck with your next diode! :beer:

WHOOT WHOOT! How generous! Moh this is great! :san:

Ah! what a great idea! When I get my other Aurora C6's ill be sure to do this! I think im going to do a full scale tutorial too so nobody will be unsure of what to do! :san:

Nope but people seem to get close to 1.8W output with their driver current set around 1.6a :beer:

Thank you millirad! :wave: I love these Aurora C6's! Im getting 4 more!

Re: Wicked Lasers S3 Arctic 1000mW 445nm For Sale Just built a 1.8W 445 for $150... EDIT: Okay so I dont know if its 1.8W but its using a M140 LD and the driver is set to 1.62a and I have been told by many members that the output should be near 1.8W. I need to get a damn LPM already so Im not...

My new 1.62A 445nm - Aurora C6 host! :drool: Last week I ordered a M140 445nm LD in an Aixiz module housing with a 405 g-2 lens from DTR, then ordered one of Mohrenberg's awesome Aurora C6 "just add diode" kits, and finally two AW IMR 16340's! Last night I received everything I ordered and...

Hey there! Thank you for sharing :) It may help those that would have otherwise been in the dark having no idea what to try next to get their lasers working again. :beer: Clicky's have taken me through hell and back with the amount of problems ive had with them lol Now when something isnt...

will the driver protect against battery polarity accidents?

Yeah I have a few extra hosts laying around so building a 405 is my next build. Since I already have a host + heatsink all I need is another 18650($12) plus one of dtr's 700ma 405 modules($125). A 405 for $137 is too good to be true!

That's not bad at all for what it is... then again you could build one for a little less and have it pushing 500mw - 900mw if you are lucky that is... :beer:
