It looks very labby so i would think it has a IR filter. I just want to make a nice green laser because i have never ever even seen one. I think if i am to make a green this is a good place to start.

That would not be making a green... just buying one. You can't build a green laser like you can build a red one.
Green diodes do not exist. Instead a complex process of frequency conversion with a couple of optical crystals occurs, the entire assembly requires extraordinarily intricate alignment, and can NOT be done without precise machinery aka cannot be DIYed.

Yes, I am not making it from scratch but I am still going to be assembling the casing. Making green is very very hard to do so I would rather try to at least assemble a green laser then buy one.

I made mine do 69mW continously and others have reported pushing this module up to 100mW at about 420mA.
I could not see abnormal IR emission using my sony DV camera in nightshot mode.
It's a good module for the price and it seems that aixiz has the same modules on ebay for only $41.
I'm going to buy another to have as a spare.

Thanks, it sounds like a good deal.

What is a safe amount of working current at 6v's? Watts????
