Hey @Giannis_TDM, Thanks again for the clarifications above. I was looking into getting it manufactured, do you have any suggestions? I was considering jlcpcb but I've never ordered a PCB before so I'm not too sure. if it's not too much to ask, could you let me know what parameters you usually...

good stuff and thanks for contributing! I actually have a question: you mention that "Discharge the output caps with any metallic object across the 2 pins (A and C). Failure to do so will result in permanent damage to the diode and/or driver." Could one just add a resistor between A and C with...

i have to agree with you here :) thanks for the good words! Niko Oh you're so right there! I grew up studying electronics and messing with it, and sometimes I'm surprised i'm still 100% intact hahaha. Hey Rich, The switch itself is perfectly fine, it works. These jumper cables are an...

Hey guys, So last month I wanted to show my laser to a couple of friends and had to carry it in my bag. In order to avoid it bouncing left and right I enclosed it in a case for laser goggles almost certain that there would be no way for the laser to turn on by itself. Well, let me tell you...

oh hell.. it's not going to stop... Ticinonline - «I puntatori laser dovrebbero essere vietati» Will this ban also affect the sales of diodes? This sucks so much... I can't blame them tho, it's full of stupid people pointing lasers at aircrafts, trams, buses, cars...

Is there some trick or hack known here at LPF to actually avoid this issue at all? I have this issue often as well and i find it frustrating to take out the element to just screw the ring in properly again...

today while recording a video I accidentally burned a shelf from 5 meters away. It left a pretty nasty mark on it.

Thank you :) yes I am well aware. I stated my reasons as PS in the the first post, however if I have enough time, I will resize and re-upload them all. it's 4am here so I will now sleep

Hey guys! I don't really post much in here, however I feel like I should share my experience once for all. Back in 2013 I went for 3 months in the USA (Utah) and I took the chance of buying a 445nm diode and a nice host (you already guessed which one from the title) here is the bad boy...

this is not exactly a picture but it well describes new laser owners :p (is it working?) https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=805943376205220&set=vb.175750359224528&type=2&theater

I actually "voted Inside, Outside, Summer, Winter, Day & Night" and I'll explain you why. I have this ~2W 445 nm handheld laser and I know that one single reflection or direct hit will burn my retina. Therefore when I operate such a powerful laser I make sure to ALWAYS wear goggles when pushing...

Thanks for the tip. Yeah. They are lucky they didn't damage their retina (YET). I ordered 6 of those diodes. let's see what they can do :)

Hey guys, I was on a rampage buying diodes and while googleing for this red diode i found this video on youtube: direct link to yt It is crazy how those guys play with this 300+mW laser without laser protection with every kind of things that could reflect back into his eye. At 2:20+ you...

i took the picture out of the internet but i own a plasma ball for real. but i'd say plasma with care because it's more like a spark in the void or sort of gas contained in there. Kinda cool tho to play with

My motherlanguage is a dialect of italian, i learned italian at the age of 3 and that became pretty much my official motherlanguage as dialect is not recognizes as such. Then i learned french which i really improved in the army and german (from school). English came with both school and...
