Hello. I bought a laser diode recently which is 150mw and 650nm. I just wondered what components I would need for a driver for this? I'm hoping for it to burn something so I'd prefer it if there wasn't anything which might restrict the power of my laser. I understand basic electronics, e.g...

Ok, thank you for telling me this. I plan to purchase some goggles from them now. Happy Christmas

Hello. You recommended a site called "Laser Safety Industries . com" If you don't mind me asking, have you bought from this site before?

Someone recommended this site to me and I wondered if people thought it looked legit. Laser safety eye glasses and goggles filter 115 for protection from laser wavelengths 630-730 nm: Helium-Neon, Krypton, Chromium:Sapphire, & Ruby lasers. Lenses are light blue in color with 50% VLT. For use...

This is a nice idea :) I like it.

Ah thank you. I can see now that the sites you recommended are much better than the one I went on. Although I hate having to pay £96 for the goggles, as many have said. My eyes are worth much more than £96. Thanks dude.

Have you considered using a prism to redirect your laser beams? By the way, wannaburnstuff is an awesome username.

Hello. Is it possible to run a laser diode without a driver? (I am a newb so I don't know this)

Hello. I recently bought a 808nm 300mw laser diode. I realize this is an infra red laser. Now answer seriously, and please remember I am a newb. Am I going to need goggles for this laser, I know I can't see it - but for the sake of my eyes am I going to need them?
