    AR coated lens

    Got round to building the 980nm 500mw ir illuminater, but run into a problem the lens i am using is not AR coated would this make a big difference to help with getting a sharp focus ? AR coated 450-900nm i can get the same lens with this coating if it would help?. Thanks in advance

    FLIR One Thermal Imaging Hosts/Heatsinks

    Just found this post Very nice, can't wait to test my Laser host with my Hunting thermal, been using them for shooting for the last 3 years. They make finding targets very easy way better than using gen3 kit for spotting.

    17mm Driver

    Following on with this build how would be the best way to heat-sink the diode, as most ir diodes are case pozi? at the mo i have just used some non conductive thermal paste. Laser stays on and don't seem to be getting hot well it's only on for about 60 secs at a time, any ideas greatly welcomed.

    17mm Driver

    Using it as a IR Illuminater, sits on top of my nv scope there is a 50mm lens that screws onto the T20 torch body works very well.

    Anyone worried about their Li-ion batteries now?

    Good batteries, good charger and i don't worry. Use in Laser, vaping and high end NV kit. As above alot comes down to the user buying cheap batteries/chargers or using the wrong charger.

    17mm Driver

    Well the 808nm 300mw landed today so set about building with above wiring, and it works and stays on:thanks: big thankyou to you guys. Used one of the 350ma boards from DX bottom in picture, the other board is a 700ma, not the best solder job but it's only a tester. Got afew 850 500mw diode...

    Cheers for the replies lads, think i will wire it as above and fill in with thermal paste, just need the stock of diodes now lol. Got the googles Eagle pair think they are called came from Odicforce.

    Hi Wondering if you sell a 17mm driver board for a 980nm 500mw diode running 1x 18650 battery...

    Hi Wondering if you sell a 17mm driver board for a 980nm 500mw diode running 1x 18650 battery. Isaac thinks you may have something that will work. Regards Andy P.s i am in the UK

    No not had the B*lls to build the 980 yet lol, got a few 980 200mw off them also for test loads but they have yet the land. Thanks for the help Isaac i will be following your instructions in great detail on my next batch of diodes, will also look into DTR.

    17mm Driver

    Ye that is how the 850nm diode is soldered, but they have problems with heat, would be better to run with the brass as heat-sink but then again it may never happen. Diode is from a company called Laserlands: A Laser Producer and Seller don't know how good or bad they are it was the only place i...

    17mm Driver

    Hoping to build a illuminater, i have one using the pill in the pictures which is 500mw 850nm. What i am working on is a 980nm 500mw, but struggling with finding a 17mm driver board that runs without poping the test diodes that i am using (808nm 500mw) 2x blown awaiting more stock. Done a dummie...

    17mm Driver

    Hi Looking for a 17mm driver to run a 500mw 980nm 9mm diode, battery will be 1x 18650, there are loads on DX,FT but unsure which to try. Had a few from a UK company Odicforce and tested on cheap 500mw 808nm diode but not much luck as the diodes lasted a matter of seconds :cryyy:. I will be...

    Hello

    Hi All Just dropping in to say hello, just starting to get into Laser's as i use them for night viewing. (Hunting) using IR Led units and Laser diode handhelds at the mo nothing special, looking to learn along the way as this is all very new to me. Expect plenty of noobie questions along the...
