My newest laser :)

[AnthoT]

I haven't made anything with an LPC-826 yet actually never an LPC or any open can diode well now I have

Here's some build photos

Diode pressed into an aluminum module

AtMa linear set @ 407mA directly heatsinked to pill

All wired up shrink tubing & all

The finished product

Overall it's nice I like the red, it's not too powerful but it's a nice laser it uses a Aixiz acrylic lens & an anodized red aluminum heatsink with a 19mm focus adapter when I use 1 x fully charged 18650 it is almost as strong as with 2 16340 as its a low dropout linear

Hopefully it lasts a while


:thanks: for looking

Looks like you have 250mw+ of red there, pretty sweet! Good build

:thanks:!

I will go smoke my garage up & get some Beamshots

Nice looking build. It should last a while no problem at that current. I like the beamshot across the garage.

sweet build!! i like that focusing adapter. :beer:

Thanks! They are just the common 3/4th inch but thinner & natural aluminum :beer: I have them on my site too.

Nice! , I have 2 LPC's , ...crazy thing is, They are both set at 500mA and they both do EXACTLY 500mW, so a nice 1mW/1mA

Wow that's pretty awesome
