Hey guys
i got my 445 LD this morning. i ran of to school happy and couldnt wait to get home.i watched the clock tick around to 3:15 the bell went. i got home as quickly as i could. i opened the package with my preset driver set to ~420 i tested it at 423mA. i shorted the driver pads and soldered up my diode with minimal heat possible with my expensive temp controlled iron.
i put the batteries in the host. ~7v (rckstr driver) turned it on........I HAVE LIGHT awesome 445 light oh wait nooooooooooooooooo it turned LED after 4 seconds of use.
biggest laser diode waste of money for me so far $60 down the drain.
wish i knew what was wrong
cheers
Dang pontiacg5 i should have bought that second 445 instead of the host
just to let you know....you wont be seeing a 445 from me anytime soon
