16x DVD burner laser 650nm 230mW

[rafalrrrr]

I want to show you my DVD laser. It's made from cheap 9 LED 3xAAA OEM flashlight and Lite-On Short Closed Can diode. Collimator has variable focusing and is made from metal part from VHS tape recorder. Lens is acrylic and came from 1Euro laser pointer - it's cheap but it works . Power source is 3 AAA batteries and they are connected directly to laser diode without driver (it works perfectly) and current around the diode with fresh barreries is 420mA. I cut the "DVD" logo with razor-blade in Glow-In-The-Dark rubber.
Here is video of my laser pointer:
