So, i am down in my basement, or as i like to call it, my laser playground, and i am playing around with a 200mw 303 650nm unit that i just received yesterday and i notice the beam dot is fading from bright to dim to bright! Bad battery?Nope! Bad driver? Nope! Bad diode? Nope!
It turns out the switch is just making enough contact to power on, but not at full power! In other words, it has some resistance in the switch! Could be dirty contacts or just a cheap crap switch.
Just a cautionary story! If your LPM is showing up and down numbers, this may be the problem! :scowl:
This is what you get with cheap lasers!!! :cryyy:
