no that is cool now that i know that a green laser is a 808nm that is something i never knew thanks i was wondering cause on ebay they where selling a 2000mw 808 diode. as for my second post i had tried to use a drive that i got from a laser level that is didn't use and it just sat there so i...

oh one other this why is it that some of the diodes i have seen the power is what would be the ground of the can and the ground is where the power would be. i have l;ike three drives that wont work because of this and it kinda sucks.

oh i see. yes i will make them better next time. when you say ir diode. that isnt like a 808 nm that has been modifide to come out green? sorry but i am a noob and thought that the ir's where a 808nm and above anyway thanks for the info. and any you may provide. i was thinking of putting a open...

yes it has a driver but it has a green diode in it now and will run off a cr123a well i think it has one here is a closest that i can see of the insides but you can use a green laser driver on a red laser ?

can i take this and put a 250 mw diode in it using the driver that it come with?

thanks for the info

oh one other question what will pop a balloon at a further distance? a 250 mw by 650 nm or a 1000 mw by 808nm ? they will both pop balloons and burn but does the wave lenght do any thing to the power of the diode or is it just the difference between seeing and not seeing the beam?

cool that is really help full but i just want to stay around the recommended voltage right it is like i can use 12 volt at 200 mA and it will do the same as 3 volts at 200 mA just want to clairfy that so i wont blow it up.

if you spell something wrong then it will underline it

so then if i have a 3 volt max diode then see if i am getting that voltage. i dont know the voltage just using that as a referance. oops almost for got i want to watch out for the Ma to right or just the voltage?

i was wondering if you can use the 5mw drivers to run a 250nw diode. it looks to have a micro trim pot on it. i was wondering if i can remove the old diode and put the new diode on it and use it. will this work or am i just dreaming ;) oh if you havent figured it out i am a noob ;D

i have found this buy trying to find a place to build your own laser driver and trying to find a way to build my own power meter got any ideas or any thing in the forums. HI by the way and will have my laser gun built here soon to pop balloons. it is interesting o see that this site has a spell...
