Hello,
I am new to lasers so please be easy on me.
I am using a blue laser diod. I have been using one 1.2V AAA nimh at 1000 mAh.
It can make a match smoke but not light.
I then got a 10440 3.8V 800mAh. It caused the laser to bcome dim and weak.
I then put the nimh back in and it is still weak.
I am guess I killed the diode :cryyy: But was wondering what kind of battery I should be using
All I know aout the driver in the flashlight housing I am using is that it takes the 1.2V battery and outputs at 5.4V
Please help
