I'm trying to get an 8X Blu-Ray laser built. I really love Jayrob's Micro Chrome and Stainless Steel 10440 hosts - both of which use AAA batteries. I've contacted a few of the builders here, and heard from one of them that Jayrob said the wattage I'd want from an 8X (350-400mW) wouldn't really work well in those hosts, because AAA batteries (even the high-power ones like Eneloop Rechargeables) don't supply enough power, and also because the hosts are too small to have a good enough heatsink for such high power.
Are my dreams of a high-power Blu-Ray in the only two hosts I actually like the appearance of, going to be crushed? I don't want to spend all that money on a Blu-Ray diode and then have to dial it down to <200mW just so it will work with my host.
