    My multimeter has a temp input; potential LPM?

    Hi everyone, So I've seen some DIY infrared LPMs on LPF and was wondering if I could potentially make one with the multi I currently own. The images below show my 1mW greenie changing the temp of the sensor by 21 degrees in less than 20 seconds. If I could figure out the material used, maybe...

    Hey! Newbie from Australia!

    Hehehe lazy laser, any specific place you get your parts from? These are my cold, capital skies ;)

    Why can laser pointers be so much cheaper than the diode alone?

    Fellow Aussie here, I've sent you a pm regarding these modules.

    Hi, I read in your thread regarding the prices of diodes. You stated that you sold 70mW modules? On ebay I presume? Would you mind linking me to a listing? Thanks, Joe.

    Hey! Newbie from Australia!

    haha appreciated! I'll get it stamped as "just a flashlight. Nothing to see here." I have one of those long D Maglite torches... muhaha 1.2W here we come :eg: Thanks for all your help!

    Hey! Newbie from Australia!

    Perfect response! It is a shame that complete units are illegal. However, It baffles me as modules aren't. I'd assume it is not very difficult to chuck one of these into a host and voila! Super illegal laser. This even makes a grey area for disassembling and shipping, as it would be in parts...

    Hey! Newbie from Australia!

    Hey! Thanks for the reply vk2fro! Yeah I've ordered a pair of goggles! Everything is in transit at the moment... man I suck at having patience for cool things. I'm not really into burning, I just appreciate the beam that is made from lasers. Maybe I'll progressively keep buying more powerful...

    Advice on compatible drivers to diodes.

    Yep, like that one :D When I'm done I'll post something :P

    Advice on compatible drivers to diodes.

    I've got a lot of those mini-LED torches laying around that take 3 AAAs, so I guess using these would be good. I'm looking for a min 4.5v driver then? I was going to order a 10 pack of Aixis blank modules for 5.6mm diodes and wanted something on the weaker side to go with them, preferably red...

    Advice on compatible drivers to diodes.

    Ok, Say I used 4 AAs in series, would that work fine? It's probably not practical... So how's this one? NEW 3V Power Supply Driver for 532nm-980nm Laser Diode | eBay If I used this for example, it would reduce the voltage sufficiently to feed the diodes that I have listed? Thanks for the reply.

    Advice on compatible drivers to diodes.

    Hi everyone, So I want to buy some weaker red diodes on eBay, and they're rated at a standard operating voltage of 2.2, 2.2 and 2.4 volts respectively. And the driver outputs a suitable current but is rated as a 5v-10v driver. So my question is, if I play around with the pot (I plan on using AA...
