Hi, I wanted to ask someone for help on how to build a high current test load. It seems like many of the test loads we have for red and bluray tend to get hot when running above 1 amp. Is it possible to build a test load capable of handling up to a couple amps continuously without overheating...

SOLD EDIT: PRICE DROP TO $125 (SHIPPING INCLUDED) I've decided to sell my optotronics 150mw pen. Included are all the papers that came with the laser along with the case. Asking price: $125. The pen averages 158mW according to the documentation. It can light matches, burn paper, and pop...

UPDATE: The Laser Has Been Sold. Up for sale is a custom build I did using jayrob's 18650 kit. I'm selling it because I need the funds to build another. Asking price is $275 with the 405-G-1 lens. I can switch the lens out with an aixiz acrylic for a discounted price of $225. I recommend duty...

Hey, I just wanted to post a few pictures of my new 445nm build. I used a jayrob DIY green 18650 host with a copper heatsink and microboost drive. The current is around 1000mA, and the output was measured to be 1.1 Watts. I'm very happy with this build and thanks to jayrob for making such an...

I was thinking of building my first red laser using an LPC815 diode in a pen-style host, but I had a few questions before I order parts. What current should I run it at? I've read about people who got their laser up to 300mW after a glass lens. What current would I need to do this and is it...

I've been having a problem with my CNI green laser recently in that the laser module came loose from the housing. The laser itself still works, but I was wondering if any of you guys know what I need to use to glue it back.  Right now, I'm using tape to hold the module in place, but I think the...

Hey, I was trying out my first build and I think I killed my diode. It was actually lasing initially, but then I desoldered it because the driver wasn't aligned straight so the back of the aixiz module wouldn't screw in. After I realigned it, it stopped working. How sensitive is the diode to...

Hey, I was wondering if there were any precautions I need to take to protect the laser diode from ESD and heat during installation. Do I simply use the back of the aixiz module to press the diode into the top? And is 139mA too much current for the P803T diode if I have a heatsink? I've read that...

Hey, I was considering my first blue ray build, and I have an idea of the parts I want to use. I just wanted to see if the parts list that I have will work. Driver: rckstr or dLava 130mA fixed current Diode: 405nm PHR-803T Blu Ray Laser Diode from hightechdealz Host: UltraFire Cree C3...

I've just recieved my infiniti 125 from techlasers, and it seems that I actually recieved a good unit. The laser has excellent divergence, and it's slightly brighter than my 140mw fusion (laserchecked), though there's no way to confirm output until I get it tested. If anyone has any doubts as to...
