wow those look great, this build im not focusing on power, i just want the tightest beam/dot at the farthest distance possible. power is not a factor really, simply a pointing laser so im trying to figure out whats best
Hi guys! Just a quick question. I know DTR sells a 405 single Mode diode, but I was wondering if there's anything above this 405nm that is also single Mode, and under $100 or so, a 532 single Mode would be great. Or 520. Buy any wavelength that's fairly visible will do. Diode power is not such...
Thank you to all that responded. i will probably go with paste, just because haha, but another question, whats the safest way to press the diode into the host? light taps with a mallet maybe?
Haas anyone used thermal paste to help heat conductivity? I was thinking it may help to out a fine layer around my aixiz module, and potentially improve cooling performance?
Opinions from all are welcome
:)
Thanks alot all, very excited! I noticed DTR does not have any sign in on his page. I assume there is some kind of automated system that sends you shipping details?
So, im hoping i didnt mess up here,
i accidentally ordered "NDG7475 520nm Diode In 12mm Copper Module W/Driver" from DTR WITHOUT a lens.
i was meaning to order this with a lens, does this mean the module will come with the stock lens? this is a problem because i have nada a clue how to remove...
Thanks alot! I unfortunately do not have any fancy stuff..... Yet... So I'll try to run it through a meter.
Do you know much about drivers? And what would be a suitable candidate for this diode? Seen alot of superx out there, but I have nada a clue. I'd like to run the diode around 1.9-2A...
Let me apologize,if its burning your finger, unfocused, then its possible it is more. that being said, that powerful of a diode (if it is) in that small of a host, has to get VERY HOT EXTREMELY FAST!! if there is anything over 500mw in that pen, duty cycle would be mere seconds i would presume...
Looks like I'm most likely going to picking out a driver myself, my host takes 2x18650 and I use Samsung 35E Cells, (3500mah 8A Max Continuous)
Id like to prefer reliability if possible, and softstart would be a big plus.
From my very basic understanding, seems like linear is the most...
i can confirm i sent my email to this email and have still not received a reply.
this was my message to him:
"
As I am very interested in a NUGM03+ Driver combo. I do have one of your G8 lens but I know the diodes come with a stock lens and I don't trust myself to get the stock one off myself...
Hi all! So I wanna dive into my first very basic build. I
Have everything I need besides a diode and a driver. My host has Ample cooling. I have a aixiz so any diode that'll work with that is good. I have a g8 lens so all this is covered. My host takes 2x18650 in series and I'd like to drive...
Paul nailed it here. I own one of these, and they meter anywhere from 30-80mw. Although I would always practice caution, I'd say it will not cause any harm unless directly pointed at your eye from short distances.
