Thanks again for the help. Where do I measure the length of the module? Sorry if that sounds dumb. The one that came out is 35mm from tip of the collimating lens to the end of the circuit board, but 45mm long if I include the spring.. Its funny how quickly I have gone from "am I going to...

Yep, that worked Now I just gotta wait until the Chinese new year celebrations are out the way before I can order myself a new module.

Awesome. Thanks for that. Can't see a way to grip it. It is flush with the end of the host. Maybe I will just try beating it out or heating it first. Or both. I've got nothing to lose.

I'm very new to all this, but I think my problems might have been due to alignment issues with the optical path of the laser. I decided to pull mine apart to have a look, and was a bit surprised to find the various bits of the optical path to be rather vaguely glued in place with flexible...

I wouldn't say my comments should put you off DX altogether. I have a history of using DX for LED flashlights and bike lights. I found with those that you could find out on forums which are good and bad models to buy. They do at least have a sound returns and exchange policy. The three...

Actually, I just thought that a review of these might be useful to other people.... The full story is that I made my original purchase back in October. The first laser I received burnt out in less than 5 seconds of use. It started fairly bright when I first powered it up, then quickly dimmed...

Ha! I needn't have worried. With probably only just over a minute of "on" time in total, in short bursts of a few seconds at a time, the laser has suddenly decreased in brightness by a factor of at least 10. The beam is no longer visible in even a darkish room, and the dot is small and...

Not easy to get a photo of! Taken on a dull January day with the curtains open...

Ok, so the reflected light from (for example) a white wall 6' or 2 metres or more away should be OK? Not pointing it directly at, or even near to, another person goes without saying! Thanks for the replies

Hi everyone! I just received my first laser which I purchased from DX a few weeks ago. Since I placed my order, I have read about the dangers of looking at the projected dot from high powered lasers. The laser I have received is supposedly a "<5mW 532nm" model powered by an 18650 battery...
