Originally was looking to build a kit from Jayrob but just have too much on the plate :)
i'm looking for anything from 100-250mw, red or green, preferably a small build, cr2's or something like that. budget is ~$110
hi all like the title says im considering getting a laser from DX to play around with, and i have a somewhat ingenious way to power it (at least i think so lol :D )

anyways, thats a 100mW laser that already has a driver and a very large finned...
ok i have heard that the GB DIY red torches need at least 6V with daedals circuit (which i purchased from him directly, so that will be in perfect working order im sure)
what i can tell from this battery is that
A: it is 9.6 V so it is well above 6V but still below the maximum voltage
B...
Re: HI-PLEASE HELP ME
huh? you would buy a laser from a third world country? not the best of ideas...
even IF you could find a laser there, it wont be what it says it is and it will not be sturdy at all
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2390 so whats the catch here? is it gonna break in just a few days of use, or might it last with careful useage? also, are the 'true green' ones worth the extra cash? like more power or something?
hey untill i can raise the money for a driver from DDL and a diode from SenKat, i wonder, is my 5mW greenie really broken?
one day, i needed the batteries from it, so i took them out and used them for awhile, then put them back in, and tada, it didnt work. i took it apart, but nothing seemed...

i have decided not exactly to just buy a modded flashlight, but instead have someone build ddl's circuit. (im assuming that it will run completely fine with a 150-160 mW diode....) as senKat advised me, i will be making this a labby so this circuit does not exactly have to be miniscule. ill...
ok since im getting into this whole building lasers thing i will need to know what the heck all those numbers mean.
1 what does an amp do and what do i need to know about them
2 what does a volt do and what do i need to know about them
3 what is the current compared to volts, or whatever any of...
err, well, first off my name is matthew, so hi and id like to say im loving this forum so far.
my questions are this. i have read ddl's DIY thread, and i actually have the same flashlight in one of those pictures (it was one with an RC heatsink, and it was the larger one on the bottom)
im...
