Every time I see someone do another build I get ideas and start thinking. I cannot remember who it was that used 10 watt resistor with a 5A LDO in a Mag light host. Anyway, I ordered some parts from Mouser :san: I picked up several LD1084V and a variety of resistors to set currents from...

Tried to search it, but did not do much good. I guess I will be asking for opinions. What type of "clicky" switch seems to be best suited for a higher current build, say 1.8A? Also, where would be the best place to get them? Regards, Chad

Is he on vacation? Placed an order on the 2nd before they opened. Still states processing on the web site. Sent an email off this morning, no reply. I hope everything is okay over there:confused:

I decided to build another 445nm laser. I will do my best to describe the build as I go along. This build uses a Jib77 1.8A driver with a A-150 LD. I scavanged the A-150 from another laser with a bum driver. Here is a picture of a side by side with my first build. The polished unit is actually...

Not sure if this was a waste of time or money, but I was bored. Used 1N5402, was the only thing RatShack had enough of. I swear someone in town besides me is building lasers. Measured the voltage drop on these, was .75V @ 700mA. I had a tap on the board for 2 diodes as well, but could only find...

Been lurking the forum for quite some time, finally decided to register for an account a little less than a week ago. After a good bit of reading and research, I wanted to build my own 445nm laser. Purchased one of jib77 1.3A driver boards(Thank you!), and one of DRT's LD(Thank you as well). I...
