Ok great thanks a lot!!

I understand that they will not give me a powerful laser, but I am ok with that, All I need is a nice pointer. Nothing near 250 mw

Hey guys, so I am about to make two builds with these diodes that I just got from a couple DVD writers (an LG and a Sony), but I was wondering what current these things should be run at safely. I am not looking to make anything serious, just some nice pointers. The LG drive is a 6x GSA-H20L and...

Looks like to just necroposted yourself. Just asked a simple question no biggie.

nevermind hehe

Does anyone know what type of batteries does this host take?!?! thanks

HEYOOOOO finally got my Avatar working! Hahaha thanks for the help guys. Anyone got their hands on the PLP520B1's yet???

What about the UltraFire 16340 880mAh batteries? Are those garbage too? I have a pack of 4 rechargeable ones and I hate to just throw them away, but I don't want anything exploding on me :undecided:

I have trimmed the picture down to below a 200x200 and I am still having the same problem! :( It's telling me the file failed to upload yet the picture is tiny!

I keep trying to upload a picture for my profile but it keeps saying "upload of file failed" HELP?!?!

Again if y'all have any more information and/or pics pertaining to this diode, please post them in this thread! thanks, Matt

Wow ok so pushing this diode with a current around 400 mA should easily put out over 200 mW?!?! That sounds pretty freakin sweet. I can't wait until some people start testing this bad boy out because I can't wait to start this build! :evil:

Oh wow looks like they are tougher than I thought! And about how much power would it put out running it at that current?

Hey guys, I see that DTR recently added the 120mW option for the PLP520 diodes. I am more than likely purchasing one for my next build but I had a few questions first. Has anyone tested them out yet? Is it able to be safely over driven to, maybe around 250-300 mA? (How much power would it...

Thanks a lot!! Matt

I need some help guys, I am looking for a 520 nm diode that is going to output 200-300 mW for my next build. Any idea where I can find these for a good price? I really want to make a quality burning green laser for my next build. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Matt

Do you mind sending me pictures of it? And do you have only one? What colors? Thanks

Dear Mrcrouse, I am looking to put my next laser in a 501B Host with a copper or aluminum heatsink and I heard you were the guy to get it from. How can I contact you? My email is matttram@cox.net thanks for the help, Matt

You actually cannot see the heat sink in the pictures, as there is a gold ring underneath the gold cap piece that is covering it (this is not the heat sink :evil:). The ring is not perfectly cut so there is a little slit between that and the module. The heatsink itself its actually under this...

Hey guys so I am looking to start my second build and I definitely like the 501B host. does anyone know where I can get this host with a heat sink for cheap? Also, does it have a pill in it? Thanks for the help!
