660nm LPC build!

I don't have a heatsink but I do just fine.
it's running 340mA at 6V.
It's a beast at burnings and I am really happy with it

TEST LOAD:

The rckstr driver up close:

You won't be so happy with it once it dies soon without a heat sink

Yep you should get a heat sink on that Aixiz module.

Actually I have a cpu heatsink but it's massive and fat, I won't get in that box

you can pick one up at home depot for 2 to 3$
There was a post someone who is not getting over Co2 poisoning will show you.
It is cheap and works great the only tool you will need is a vice. or sandpaper and a nice set of pliers.

so you can say I can get a small, lite heatsink at homedepo that will fit the needs of this LD?

Read that thread there are 2 versions one with the beveled edge and one without.
You want the one without the nice slanted edge.
if you dont own a vice just use one there.

ops not co2 i meant carbon monoxide poisoning, someone put the wrong fuel in my kero heater. i think some one is trying to kill me...
day 2 and still feel like crap.

[kiyoukan]
