Dilda from o-like?

[Deleted member 8382]

I 've run my dilda's at 8.0v to 8.4v for a while now no problems . I use 2 , 3 AAA  holders from outsourced flashlights and
whilst I can't tell you the mW 's I can tell you that there is a considerable differance in the power of the unit.  The cylce time I run these at  about 45 sec to 2 min not that worried thought as these are hardy and readly  available . peace

With rechargeables or with semi-wasted alkalines? Remember one rechargeable use to give out more power on lasers than an alkaline even its 0.3V less. I think its because of internal resistence, anyways running 6 rechargeable AAA is crazy i think

Thank you and have a good day

and to have one with TRUE 200mw how bucks they want ? jander6442.............how can you put in the dilda 2x 3holder aaa? it fits? cr2 are about 1.6/1.7 width.... but a 3 aaa holder it about 2/2.1 cm.. i measured it now! so... if you put it into the dilda.. i think that the dilda tube is not PERFECT for the cr2 battery but has a bit of free space around the battery. is it real?

[quote author=--Hallucynogenyc-- link=1233563516/0#4 date=1233864361]I've just paid 54$ for the dilda to Susie as she promised a 190+ average output to me, plus batteries and charger in another package.

I really dont mind in paying 6 bucks for a 10mW extra power

I'll post results as soon as i get it and can go to university to test, they got a kinda nice power meter ;P

If you want above 200mW, use 3.6V CR2 (hard to find instead of 3V ones (sold at DX). This laser's driver is not fully regulated, and the output depends on the input voltage. You can get more than 220mW this way, and the diode will withstand it because it's a long die closed can one. There's a member here who went upt to 12v input... and the results were awesome (above 260mw i think). It's all about chinese drivers...

[/quote]

Actually.... I hit 322mW @12VDC... for short ON times...
But yes... the easiest way to almost guarantee 200mW from a Red Dilda
is to use 3.6V CR2 batteries similar to  these ones...

These are the exact ones I purchased... with the charger..

If you are putting 12 volts into the Dilda Driver...
your cycle "ON" time will probably be closer to 5-10 seconds...
The driver and diode at that voltage get really hot and fast...

Buying a Dilda has always been a Crap Shoot....
Like "BrewCityMusic" posted......
It is a measly $46.00 for a 200mW Red laser....
and it sounds like you guys were buying a $600.00 laser...

If Susie has to continuously test every cheap Dilda laser she sells and guarantee
the output of that inexpensive 200mW laser...
then I can see the price will eventually be going up to cover
her extra time expenses... IMO

Well she's getting 6 bucks from me just for choose a good one, wich had been sent to someone anyways for the normal price. That takes 5 or 10 minutes max. 6$ for 10 minutes of testing lasers, its not that bad

$6.00 you should get 10mw more for a bargain but the time you get it focused and the amount of feel of your pants for the 10mW increase
you should of saved your bucks.
ask her next time to throw in a solar flashlight she did me and thats coooooooooool peace.

You are greatly underestimating how much time is involved in testing a laser.

Peace,
dave[/quote] this is true and either she likes you alot :-* or she is puttin it to ya. Cause that laser is bound up to the max with JB weild
and to test properly you would have to clean that crap off and be real careful when testing :-/ or your going to fry it. :'(
seems mute for $10.00. I should set up a link to me when dildas are fried I'll buy them up cause they have a kick ass laser module.
All threaded aluminum no chance of screwing up the post of the diode. peace.

 

[realista]

laserbee.. your link is correct.. yeah.. but the item showed in ebay it is not correct. that guy is selling 4 x CR2 3.6V Rechargeable Battery + CHARGER 3V...... 3 volt charger... it is not a good idea use it with 3.6 v batteries

 

[Deleted member 8382]

well It's not about the inital 10mW difference, is about how much will increase with 3.6 cells if the initial power is alredy 190mW

And well, i doubt he have one bwetween 100 lasers on 190mW maybe she just had to test 3 or 4, for 6 bucks lol.

In my shop the hourly rate for a simple Technician is $97.00 /Hr...
Using your time frame... that would be a minimum of $97.00/6 = $16.16... for 10min: : :
That's about the price of buying 4pc of 3.6V batteries and a charger...
Just the setup time for my technitian would be 20-3o minutes without the TEST time.
Where is the logic... : : :

I've re-read this post 5 times....
and I still can't understand what you are trying saying... sorry
could you perhaps elaborate... or maybe it's me that can't understand...

I'm sorry... BUT... I have already Posted that I have purchased the exact Batteries and
Charger that I linked to.... I have posted that I received the Batteries and charger
and I have posted that I have used them in my Dilda to increase the power from 176mW
to over 200mW...

Now... you...without purchasing these batteries... you question my honesty of my posts... :-? :-? :-? :-?
Are you calling me a liar...  "realista"  :-? :-? :-?

I see that often you question the response of your queries by more knowlegable members
than yourself (not necessarily myself).

[realista]

i only said that in that link there is a 3volt charger. only this. if you received a 3.6 volt..... ie could be possible.. but it wasnt the right item you bought from ebay.
this is your link

i am not an uncorrect person or a bad person. i canot understand the difference betweern request/demand/question. the lpf member sould not be so precise in the lecture of the linguage spoken by other member. we aren't all true english. and I THINK THAT NO ONE has bad intentions or be rude.

what can i say of in your link is sold a 3v charger? you are not a liar.... but the ebay seller ... in the link sell 3v charger with 3.6 v battery....I think it is a mistake..in the decscription
UPDATE: the ebay seller confirmed me that there is a mistake in the description..and he ship the 3.6v charger.
