I just got finished building my new dorcey jr laser with a 650 nm 300mw diode and i put a 4.7 ohm resistor with it and i had a good brass heatsink machined for it and also im using the driver that the dorcey jr comes with.

i got it all together and it works great but theres one problem........
i cant burn anything or pop baloons or light matches

What did i do wrong?

i think it might just be the 4.7 ohm resistor taking too much power away but im not sure :undecided:
