Just came across this on O-Like
Nichia New 200mW 405nm diode /NDV4512 [OL-405-200] - $62.99 : Welcome to O-Like.com, Your source for laser products
Does anyone know more information about this diode?
I discovered these "ripple" like pattern when i defocus my laser, at first i thought my lens is scratched, so i remove the lens completely and i still see the pattern, is this a sign of my diode degrading and going to die soon?
My 445 laser start to blink about 10 mins of usage after the battery is fully charged. I guess this indicates the voltage of the battery has drop below the threshold of the driver. Is it normal for a 18650 battery?
How much current does the driver draw from the battery? I'm using microboost...
What the best way to solder the jumpers which select the current range on a Microboost driver? The driver is so small .. i found that it's very hard to made the solder stick on the board
