Yeah hes always seemed like a good guy. I didn't expect him screwing me over or anything, I just wanted to know what was up. Unfortunately, this wasn't the kind of news I wanted to hear. I knew someone was in the hospital but I didn't know how serious it was. If Gooey does end up reading this...

Hey there. I really hate to make a public thread like this but I am getting somewhat worried. I have had an on-going repair for Gooeygus with my Dorcy JR PHR. Last I heard from him was almos a month ago, him saying that he got my driver in the mail and would get my laser finished up asap. Iv...

Hey man. It says that your being active on the forum. Why won't you respond to my messages ? : ( Really wanna hear from you, Kyle

Hey man, did you ever get my last messages? Have you sent him the old driver? Iv had this money order for a while to send to him but I haven't yet because I don't know if you have sent out the driver Get back to me, Kyle

On a completely different, random topic that I was thinking of: Could you harvest diodes out of these, and if so would it even be powerful? http://www.onlinetoolreviews.com/reviews/laserkerf.htm I was in my bulding and construction class, and I saw one of these things, and couldn't help but...

So I was thinking, and you know how you always see those high powered laser security systems that will cut your arm off in the movies? Well is that even possible at all to any degree? I don't know if this has already been posted but I was just curious if there is actually lasers as high powered...

I think I see what is going on here. Dave knows alot about lasers AND is the owner of a 12 foot long fish...there isn't anything out of the ordinary there...GUESS AGAIN! This picture is my theory of what dave does in his spare time.

Yeah just do what dave said and look around at the faqs there is alot of them. As for host / driver, you could use a flexdrive and a dorcy host...this guide would explain it all, links included. Link to guide : http://www.i-hacked.com/content/view/272/94/

Yeah I mean, I still have the host, the awesome heatsink from darkhorse, and the flexdrive. Im gunna buy a dummy load and set the flexdrive to 100mA and order about 2 more Phrs...from what I understand, I won't even be able to tell the difference of 100mA and 120mA, visually. It has been...

Bump for those who haven't seen this.

I had the exact same thing happen to me when I was running my Phr at 120mA. I used it for probably 5-10 minutes of ON time, over the 48 hours. From what I understand, PHRs are all very different, some withstand 150-200mA and some die at 110. Your taking a chance of the diode dieing pretty much...

I am using an Aixiz module, Im not sure if you are, but I have noticed a rectangle on mine, but thats after I burnt out the diode, its only and Led now...but I do notice a rectangle.

Would 100mA be alot more reasonable? I know that all Phrs are different, but on average how much mW does 120mA and 100mA put out, and with 120 to 100mA, is there a big visual difference?

Well I mean this if my first build so I don't exactly know the symptons of a diode dieing  ;) Its in a darkhorse heatsink, and I barely used it...considering I built it yesterday. It only got warm about once, yesterday, and it worked fine after I let it cool down. I hope it didn't die aready...

So I had finally finished my first build yesterday, a Phr set at 120mA, on a flexdrive...with a dorcy host. It was working great yesterday, very bright, and burned matches / popped balloons..but today I turned it on in the morning and it worked fine..then 2 hours later when I turned it on, it...
