I saw this today: http://o-like.com/b2b_cpinfo.asp?id=987. What types of diodes could I use with this? Awfully cheap at 2 per $7.50 shipped.

Looks just like the housing for red diodes, except this one supposedly has an AR coated lens designed for 405nm light. http://o-like.com/b2b_cpinfo.asp?id=980 Cost is $50, and claimed power loss is 10-15%.

8HE09: 8% off, no minimum 12HE09: 12% off $30 or more 18HE09: 18% off $100 or more Ends 4/30/09 For a quick example, if I purchased 5 X 50mW green lasers at $24.99 each, I would end up with a total price of $102.46 after 18% off, and the unit price of each pointer would be $20.49. Not the...

I'm noticing that my rckstr driver is extremely (painfully) hot to the touch, even though I'm only reading ~23mA of current load with a PHR attached.  Is this something to be expected?

http://o-like.com/b2b_cpinfo.asp?id=971 Pitched as an alternative to the dilda, with matched power output and a supposedly "firmer" adjustable head. Anyone wanna have a go at this one? :P

I received my Small Sun ZY-850 CR123A powered green laser pointer from Quality China Goods today. It came in a fairly generous ammount of bubble and syrofoam wrap, so it was undamaged upon first inspection. Also, there was already a 3.7V battery on the inside. First Impressions: This laser is...

This is an MXDL aluminum heatsink. As you can see, I cannot fit the head of the Aixiz module in all the way. At this point, the head is basically "jammed in", with no more room for insertion. Should I be concerned about this? Will significantly impact the efficiency of the heatsinking?

I'm considering using rkcstar's adjustable driver in the 30-150 mA range for my 803t build. My questions are as follows: First, is it safe to tune a running diode? Second, at this approximately specified current range, could I basically run an 803t at min->max current supplied by this driver...

I ripped the sled, and then the diode housing out of an old LG CDRW drive. Any use for it as an infrared burning laser?

In a nutshell, LEDShoppe is an online retailer of cheap small electronic goods sourced from Hong Kong.  They carry a range of pen style green laser pointers very similar to those carried by DX/KD, and priced to match.  Shipping is free worldwide, with (as of yet) no restrictions of any kind...

My cheap LEDShoppe pointer has one major flaw: the base was made poorly, so conductivity sucks ass between the positive battery terminal and module. In fact, I estimate I'm loosing between 30 - 50 percent of max power due to this problem. A temporary solution is wrapping the base with foil to...

Or for some: "Things I need to order before they become illegal to import in the USA (or before DX stops shipping them anyway 8-))." My list isn't done yet, but I'll definitely be picking up one of them butane flamethrowers torches they have.  Dilda laser might be #1, although I can't get it in...

I've been interested in buying a green laser for a few years now, but only recently have I heard of DX's decent/mediocre cheap lasers.  After reading threads here and on the DX product pages, it seems like the consensus used to be that their True 30 mW laser is their best product for under $30...
