Ah... Just curious.... That is a pretty big heat sink.... Lots of surface area for heat.thanks everyone!
the beam was visible to the naked eye but it wasn't that bright, of course the 30 sec exposure helps
@LuxorLasers747: 420mA indeed. LM317 driven...
@Seoul_lasers: i dont know if another sink would change anything, it doesn't even get a little warm. i think it's just a little oversized
@ped, TacoHerder & Eamon O Regan: it's just a lens flare! because of the bright spotlight that is shining diametrically opposite on the picture...
I think my next labby will definitely be copper.
Got some ideas from your build.
