Hello, i know I dont make many posts here, i love the forum, but my job and college stuffz do not allow me to spend much time here! lol. I have just ordered a 445nm (supposedly 500mW handheld), and I've read quite a few articles regarding them.. However, I would like to know if these diodes are unusually susceptible to output power fluctuations from higher operating temperatures? I'm almost positive that the size of the laser i ordered will not have adequete heatsinking. I have experienced this with some even low power 650nm modules. When the case heats up, i've seen them drop from 5mW, to less than 1mW... Just wanted to know what i can expect. Never owned one before, trying something diffrent. I was seriously disspointed with Blu-ray... lol Thanks! :beer:
