I have 100mW 405nm, I'm trying to burn things (balloons mostly) at a range, but before I got get a lot of them I'm wondering what my laser would prefer to burn:thanks:
500ma is considered a pretty safe current for 12x diodes. This usually gets you up to around 700mw. with a 700mW 405, i can instantly pop ballons at 30feet and I was able to light a match head at 28 feet (after a few seconds).
