I had fun with these, and learned a couple things. Killed one diode in the process R.I.P., but he didn't die in vain.
I've always loved the idea of big power in a small package. Each unit is outputting 1300 to 1400mw with a single freshly charged 10440 cell. I happen to be sitting on a 'few' M140s, and have been testing some of the cheap Chinese drivers. Got a couple boards in the mail on Friday, along with a pack of copper modules w/3E glass from Jordan. Had nothing else to do, so I decided to experiment a bit. The drivers are the little yellow boost boards sold from Lilly electronics on fleabay/anazom.
I used a couple more of those little Defiant pens that I bought over the holidays specifically for laser purposes. Then the last one was a little Rayovac pen I picked up at Walmart for a couple bucks. Yes they get warm fast, and yes the battery life is shorter than most trips to the bathroom. Still, I managed to accomplish exactly what I set out to do, so I'm not complaining.
PS: Bonus picture included of the cabinet I burnt while trying to get a couple beam shots. WHOOPS!
