My first ever laser build! :D

[Benjiman46]

Hi everyone, only just joined LPF having only just built my first laser!

It's a C6 SL host with copper heatsink, 1.25a driver, M140 445nm diode and a 3 element glass lens, I'm running it on two 3v Energizer photo lithium (non-rechargeable) 123a batteries at the moment as I'm waiting for my charging kit in the post!

I'm also a slight photography nerd, so hope you enjoy the photos

Hi, thanks!

It's a Canon EOS 450D using a fixed 50mm f1.8 lens

You'll pick up that setup for about £200-£250 these days.

Thanks for posting these awesome pics man :beer:

great first build! you'll get long life with that driver setting. be careful not to let it get too hot.

Sharp looking C6 build Benjiman! :beer:
The match lighting photo sequence is very cool, good work!

Just curious, how many FPS can your camera get? That match sequence is nice.

Also, and this is my biggest question: What kind of white balance settings did you use? And what were your overall settings for the beamshots? The color is super accurate!

Congratz on your first build and nice photos!:kewlpics:
Just a question, is that a 2W diode?
