What is the current and voltage spec on your bar? I can't find much about that... and the ebay bars have no specs!

Heh, you are in croatia! water cooler here is about $50-100 bucks depending on where you get it and what brand...

this is the bar I am thinking about buying, it's only $150 COHERENT 20 WATT 808nm LASER DIODE POWER BAR 20W DPSS - eBay (item 160414068109 end time Apr-14-10 16:12:33 PDT)

have you thought about a small CPU water cooling system? lm338 is a variable voltage(or current) regulator, up to 5 amps! I use my lm338 to power everything :)

My LED array is from somewhere over in china, heh. Its pretty friggen bright, but gets hot as hell so you gotta use water cooling or a huge heatsink + fan. I was powering it with an LM338 as well with 0.3ohm resistor, but that setup was also getting hot, I needed an additional heatsink for my...

Thanks, i'll shoot him a message. I've got a 100w LED which is quite easy to power, 34v at 3A.... so I can't imagine it can be that hard to make a 20w laser diode run....

lithium polymer for RC. I have built a quadrocopter that carries a camera, draws 1,000 watts off of a couple of pounds of lipos... 70A of current in a hover at 14.4volts. A small 2200mah lipo supports 20C-25C draw rate, or 44amps.... Im not sure how these bars are connected, series or parallel?

Hey... I recently got a 1w IR diode module which I've been having fun with, driving with a LM388 and 1ohm 10w resistor. I have an aixis glass lens... but It focuses it into a line, not much good for burning after a couple of feet. Any sources where I can get a lens that will focus it to a point...
