Short and sweet! done–and it worked perfectly! Thanks Jerry! Philip

Title says it all. I have an o-like laser module and I need to bypass the push button for a custom maglite build I'm doing with Jayrob. How do I do it? Thanks, Baka

Thanks everyone! Since I'll be using it with varying scenarios (small groups up in the mountains, far from any light pollution VERSUS in towns with groups of 20 or more), I might get a 15, and a 50, and just make two builds. I really appreciate all the responses (and that beam shot of the 6...

Hi all, I'm getting an o-like green module to use in a custom Maglite build I've been working on with Jayrob (mad props, the man is a genius with lasers). At any rate I'm going to be using the laser solely for star pointing, and I was wondering what output I should get. Anyone know what would be...

Thanks for all the responses! I'll post pics when I've set the driver and finished the build. It's in the custom Maglite host that Jayrob and I have been working on. My greenie is also almost done :D!

Does anyone know how long these diodes last (obviously depending on what the driver is at)? I am not sure whether or not to run mine at 100mA, 130mA, or somewhere in between. Thanks, Baka

Okay thanks everyone for all the input! I'm going to go ahead and make sure that I use a good driver as well as a heatsink :). If anyone knows where I can get the diode/driver for a good price (for one of the PHRs or 6Xs), let me know! Best, Philip

Where can I pick up the diode/driver for this tutorial? Thanks, Philip

Okay so thanks for all the great input guys; it's been really helpful (especially the tutorial). Now I need to know where I can get a good diode and driver. I'm looking to keep costs down, but I want the most I can get for my money. I found some on ebay for roughly 40-50$ including a driver, but...

I am new to the world of lasers but am diving in head first. I am shredding a Maglite flashlight and swapping in a 405nm laser diode for the bulb. I've looked into how to connect it and that doesn't bother me. However in discussing with various people (Kip Kay sent me here), I've been told I'd...
