I tried building that laser. It failed, due to the bad driver the host came with. It fried my diode. So if you want to build it, buy yourself a driver as well.

Re: For sale : NEW 1W-2W C6 blue lasers from $100 Pretty soon, I'd like to order a 1W from you. Not yet though, because I have no money. Maybe in the next month or so. :)

Alright, thank you sir

So I'm interested in selling some 635nm diodes. I have this link to a batch of 100 of them: New import Mitsubishi ML520G71 638nm 300mW Red Laserdiode-in Diodes from Electronic Components & Supplies on Aliexpress.com They run at about 300mW. Of course I would probably have a 20 piece buffer...

My friend and I both tried to build this laser. After 3 attempts, all we got was 3 dead diodes, I think. My friend tried twice and failed. When I built it, it turned on real bright for a good second, then it turned dim. But it never completely went out. If I turn it on right now it will...

This build is pretty sweet. Cool, yet cheap. I think I am going to try this.

Well you definitely arent going to be having any problems with a short duty cycle, with a heatsink that big! This is quite a unique laser. Nice job. I plan on building a laser using the lpc-826 diode as well.

Alright, thanks for all the info. It's only a matter of time before I start building this.

So I'm interested in building myself a red laser. I would be using an LPC-826 diode, in a Cree Aurora C6 host. I haven't decided yet on what driver I should use. Anyone have any favorite drivers for a laser like this, or some suggestions on which driver I should use?

My advice to you would be never to pot mod ANY laser. It will most likely either result into an immediately killed laser, or a stronger laser that works for a few weeks and then dies. If you want a stronger laser, just buy one. You can get them fairly cheap at websites like dailyshop.com, but...

My dog never chases after the dot from a laser. He doesnt even look at it. It appears as if he doesnt even know it is there, most of the time. Sometimes he just looks at it for a second, then goes back to whatever else he was doing. I guess my dog is not at all curious about lasers :P

I'd love to buy this from you, but right now I have no money :( oh darn

*Also I am not experienced in building high powered lasers, so I am starting out small. But, soon I am going to build a 300mW 660nm laser for myself. After that, I will probably start building them to sell.

Yes, 5mW red lasers are very common, but WATERPROOF ones are not. I guess it'd just be neat, and if someone has never built a laser before, it would be a good way to learn a little bit about them before moving on to more expensive builds. Or, if people just want a safe, legal laser to bring to...

A DIY 5mW waterproof red laser. I will sell it already built, or I will sell you the parts for a bit cheaper if you plan on testing your skills of building a laser. Already built - $18 Just the parts - $14
