I just realized it probably wouldn't work, cd520 said I could only use 1, and if I used one it would not be long enough to reach the spring in the back - the battery cavity in the 18650 host is much to large. pHeneX, if I wore my goggles, I wouldn't be able to see the light. I had planned on...

Yes I am using a microboost driver at set at 900mA. If it "dropped out of regulation" (I'm not quite sure what that means), would there be any negative affects to my build? I don't expect any level performance, I just want to be able to power it for a second, then turn it off without breaking...

I don't yet have access to an 18650, but I've got a few Lithium TL-5101 3.6v batteries - could I use those to power it for a moment or two? The voltage is similar, so I thought it may be a possibility. I just want to know if the laser is working - is there risk involved with using this alternate...

A laser beam will continue infinitely, until it is stopped by something, because it is simply light. The divergence of a laser can tell us how the laser spreads, so the lower divergence that you have, the higher concentration of power per unit you will have for a longer amount of time. But for...

Never been a fan of wicked lasers, and that laser you link to there is, in my opinion, severely overpriced. I would buy a 100mw from O-Like. Same quality, slightly less cool host, <1/2 the price.

All done. Battery will be in tomorrow, so I'm just hoping to God that this thing actually works. I've got some good pictures that I'll upload when I get home. This diode has been through alot, so hopefully it pulls through.

Thanks so much. I got it! Will report soon!

Hi all, I'm on a computer with a filter, and I can't see this picture which I need to solder a diode. http://www.sonic.net/~jayrob/Blu-ray%20pin%20out.jpg Can someone please go to that link, save the image, and then email it to me as an attachment? (I can view attachments) My email is...

I just ended up sawing through the back of the aixiz module, removing the little solderballs on the tip, and taking off the plastic red spacer. Hopefully that's okay.

Hah, I'm certainly not giving up, just relatively distraught at my seeming ineptitude. I wish I knew I was supposed to take that red thing off. The red thing actually can't come off because there are these little saucer things on the end of the pins (that are now a little beaten up due to the...

Okay, I'm really, really upset - so any help would be appreciated. I'm pressing this diode into the AixiZ module, the front end, and I did that by placing it in the front end, then putting the back end over it, and pushing them together with a clamp. Then I gently pulled at the back end, and I...

The difference is CNI actually measured it, and it that was the average, and DragonLasers posted whatever it said on the diode specs.

Kit arrived Monday after being shipped only Thursday! Great shipping, and Jayrob has already been incredibly helpful answering my many questions. I will be taking pictures as I go along in my build, but it looks like it's going to be very easy and a great experience - I'd recommend Jayrobs kits...

Some guy answered, didn't know anything. Transferred me to the voicemail of the lady who took care of it. I just left a message with my name and asked her to call me back, which she didn't. Maybe she just approved the package without calling me back, because I received my shirt about 3 days later.

Lasers really aren't useful in warfare for the variety of reasons, a few of which have been listed. Their range of efficacy is minimal, blinding enemies is forbidden in the Geneva convention, and they just don't really DO anything... LADAR is the best use of lasers in warfare.

^ I called them.

Re: >1 watt 445nm Monster Dang. Apparantly it's cheaper to buy one already built than build one your own >.>

My story did show up, although only the name. When the "read more" link is pressed, it is a link to a copy of another story - not mine.

I just got my T-Shirt in....I LOVE IT. No confirmation email though. So for those of you without an email...don't lose hope! It took like 2 weeks for mine to come in.

What does it mean to short the output pads on the driver, why is it done, and how can I do it? I don't have access to six diodes to do the test load that you refer too. Thank you both for your responses! I really appreciate it.
