My laser!

[prokrypt]

man that module looks like mine too????hmmmm how long is it?

The laser module is from DX, and based on what I've seen and read, I'd say it's the same as the Aixiz (which I have no experience with). Currently, the laser module, or actually the metal focusing ring, extends 2-3mm from the front of the flashlight. The measurements of the flashlight as taken from DX are: 3.66in (93mm) x 0.79in (20mm).

!!!!
My uber-laser just decided to turn itself into a regular laser pointer...
I guess that's it for me and lasers :\
It was fun while it las[t]ed though

Lesson learned: never run high-powered lasers without proper heatsinking

Nah...don't give up. All of us have lost diodes...it is a learning curve.

doesn't sound good for me. 2 diodes, I'm going to learn from all of you and NOT KILL EITHER!!!

2 diodes then out!!!>!>!>!>!>??!?!?!


Aww come on....

I've have shot NEW open can diodes across my workbench in a DVD harvest...say Bye Bye.......

I have seen 4 consecutive NEW 40 dollar 20X DVD burners yeald nothing but LEDs in harvests........

I have heard the sickening "CRUNCH" as my lovely assistant (and Lovely Bride) Crushed an newly harvested 20X diode as I desoldered the Mylar!!!!

You just learn from what happened..shrug your shoulders..try try again!!!!
