    Hey, we can check if it is real or fake. Make another picture and put close to the LPM paper with your's LPF name, or name of someone's others. For example write there: I made this for LPF, my name's LPKath.

    could it happen that i burned the diode ?

    Once again, do you have driver? With LM317, or LM350? If no, hookin up diode to 2x1.5V AA batteries can destroy the diode. If not, at least it reduces the diode life. ALWAYS connect the diode to driver. If you are not sure, which diode is IR and which is RED, you can use multimeter and set it on...

    could it happen that i burned the diode ?

    yeah, but it will be like 1-3mW. I destroyed 3 diodes :D . So nevermind and get yourself new diode.

    Injury thread

    Last saturday I was cycling downhill and I wanted to reach the highest speed. In 33 mph when I came into curve I fell and broke helmet, cut jacket and trousers, also my face, legs, hands all my body. Cause of this I'm staying few days home and check FPF. It didn't hurt so much but I look very bad.

    Will I get a criminal complaint?

    Maybe they will measure the power output in 'laboratory' using laserbee bought from a member of LPF:crackup:

    could it happen that i burned the diode ?

    Yeah, you could accidentally reverse the polarity of batteries, or it could be also static electricity.

    Will I get a criminal complaint?

    Hmm... very bad. I thought the only countries, where are lasers over 1mW forbidden were UK and Australia. Some people from Germany wrote here, they bought ~500mW lasers and they hadn't any problems at all. I hope you won't have any troubles as well as DTR.

    BMW to develop Laser Headlights

    When someone hit the headlights pretty well, it could change the laser beam color to violet or blue. Hmm, we have just to wait for crashes and there will be hundreds of headlights to harvest.
