HELP: Lite-on DL-DVDRW diodes

[tsteele93]

complete failure here... Do some reading.


The closed can diode is infrared, (I think about 780nm) so its still visible to most persons. It will look extremly weak, but will still be dangerous, so be careful if you want to play around with that.

I know its a german forum, but you can find some close ups of the LOC on this site and compare it to your diode:

According to what I could gather from google translating those pages, that forum views lasers VERY DIFFERENTLY than most of us here.

The laws there also seem VERY STRICT.

Very different mindset!
