Re: 100Watt 10,000 Lumen LED 'DayMaker' Flashlight Build Did you try running the LED at a much lower power near its threshold to check if all of the individual strips of LED's lit up? I've seen alot where these eBay 100W cells often have a heap of LED's in them that a re duds and people...

Note to self, stockpile slabs of copper and wait for higher power diodes too make lpf members desperate, get rich. :D

I swear soon LPF members a gonna be caught running around stealing copper pipe so they can make bigger and bigger heatsinks for their lasers :P

My box for defective modules etc is growing, might post a picture of it soon :).

nice build, i cant wait for my 300mW and 700mW 635/638 diodes to arrive, had a ~10mW 635nm diode and i love the wavelength.

Was PM'ing with a user yesterday who'd had the same problem where they received a 1 Watt 445nm with a plastic that burnt out rather quick.

If safety will be a major concern, as pointed out earlier you should be on the lookout for Modules/Pointers marked as 'APC' and for the green(532nm) module you'll want one with an IR filter. Automatic power control (APC) means that the output of the laser will be properly regulated to its...

~$37USD, $16 for shipping, $21USD for modules

$16 USD and if people want to pay in USD that is fine.

Little bit of Infrared and she'll be looking like new :P

For a standard tracked satchel it would be an extra $22AUD incl tracking. Pricing is from Auspost.

I wouldnt expect it to it plugs into the same assembly that the switch is in (Pictured top just below silver button) pretty sure it just lets you have a external connection straight to the battery mind you it could be useful if you wanted to run the laser as both a lab laser and a pointer since...

The surface of the housing has a sort of powder coating? albeit thin ill do some more investigation but as far as interior its just bare Al. Also forgot to mention it has a funny little feature that isnt pictured but opposite to the side button (On the back) is a hole for a AC adapter style...

Strange, i just went to play around with a bunch a 532nm DPSS crystals i have that i extracted different ebay pens (found some quite large ones :D) its been about 5-6 months since i lasted touched them and theres almost a like a layer of oxidation of the front and back surfaces? I could easily...

So out of curiosity i sourced these two items from my supplier, the brass module isnt all that special but still quite nice but the housing rather surprised me especially for the price. First up the Pointer housing: Excluding Paypal, shipping etc Pointer housing would be roughly ~$5USD each...

:undecided: Well um... i do admit my view of the forum and images my be warped using a 42" 3840x2160 tv/monitor but to be fair why the hell doesnt this forum resize images over a certain size? or even just allow you to set a resolution when inserting a link?

I had to destroy a few since they are usually made slightly differently, however it usually came to using a vice with a lot of padding to avoid warping and scratching them and being sure to break the glue before trying to yank them out too much.

I need to setup a proper graveyard for all my modules and diodes as well :)

I shall be crashing said bbq wearing my best pair of thongs.

Sitting on the porcelain throne when this update came through, tried it out and although it could do with some smoothing out its definetly an improvement when using a mobile device (Chrome, Samsung S4, Android). Also loving the lack of that huge ad/page of links at the top of the page, almost...
