perfect blu-ray

[jake21]

oh another thing about my flashlight laser can u see the beam well on a br ? at night with out any fog or smoke this thing is like a lightsaber

 

[Abray]

really? cause my blu-ray's beam is REALLY dim. As in, you can barely see it at all. how many mA is yours running at? cause mine has a horrible pot that is really unstable and normally backs down to 35 mA(maybe thats why its so dim) when I try to put it at ~40

 

[jake21]

mine is set write at 38 ma and my driver is how daedal explains on how to make it with a 33 ohm resistor but its cool im very happy with it and i can see a light beam in day light here is a pic of my beam with out fog/smoke and i have a shitty camera with no gagets on it to make it look cool lol

I can see the violet beam in the dark with my PS3 diode @ 38mA's. Measures 16.7mW's. The color of the beam in your picture looks like my RPL Blu-ray, which is 473nm. Now that one has a very visible beam in the dark. And you can see the beam in a lit room as well...

i think i did a great job on it for being my first one in a flashlight

Agreed! Great job Jake. I'm just saying that the last picture you posted, shows a 'bluer' beam than 405nm for some reason...

im not sure but thanks to every ones help couldent done it with out ya ill post more pics of it soon may be some one else would like to build one like it. now on to my next project lol

 

[Abray]

it looks blue cause thats how the camera picked it up. something with the light sensor makes blu-rays look actually blue instead of violet.

and yeah you did a good job on this! I am currently putting mine in a project box cause I don't feel like going through the trouble to put it in a flashlight or anything lol

 

[jake21]

yea project boxes are nice im looking to buy aluminum boxes if any one is going to buy some ill get in with u for some ? here is my red laser with a indactor light on it im going to make a br just like it

 

[jake21]

pic2 im getting a box like this for my br

Nice to see ya got yer driver werkin okay. Did you end up gettin someone elses after all? Or did ya make yer own?

 

[adgmeijin]

nice work jake21, your bluray laser seems so bright, how much output you have there? what input voltage did you use (battery)? ......great man keep up the good work

 

[Things]

wow nice!!!!! What type of batteries does the flashlight use?

 

[jake21]

it has 3 cr123 batts i made my own driver finally its runing at 38ma just a normal driver how daedal explained on how to make it the light is from dx and the batts to here are some pics of the beam in my bathroom

I like it allot! Great work [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

[smiley=dankk2.gif] i think so to for being my first
