New 180mw diodes in stock!

Up for auction is a high power burning laser in module/w collimator lens.  This is a 180mw diode  like found in a 16/32XDVD-RW.  The diode is 650nm so the light produced will be red in color.  This is a class llb diode.  I can verify the diode strength with data sheet and coherent laser check tool.   I will ship anywhere in the USA for FREE.  Outside USA is standard $10.   PAYPAL only please. The included diode housing and collimated lens allows you to focus the beam to a burning tip or spread over a larger surface.

This unit has been tested and working. If you wish to see more pics of the working module please pm me. 

Before bidding please be aware of a few things. 

First this is not like a laser pointer that you might pick up at a office supply store. It is a very powerful laser that is strong enough to light matches or pop balloons or even etch plastic.  

Second, If you bid or "buy it now" you acknowledge  that you are at lest 18 years of age and that you are aware of the danger and necessary safety procedures of high powered lasers. BUYER assumes all legal liability.

Third, make sure you learn how much current  to drive the diode with.  SELLER is not responsible for diodes that are destroyed in a short period of time due to overstressing or improper use of the unit.  If item is DOA I will refund/replace item. 

The optimal drive for this module is 2.8v

When handling lasers of this strength protective eye ware is STRONGLY recommended.  Just the reflections off normal surfaces can be hazards to your eyes.  DO NOT POINT DIODES AT ANYONE!!

This is a great site to pick up inexpensive protective goggles (strongly recommended) http://www.noirlaser.com/?gclid=CJGombeuwpICFSgPkgodxjy4YQ

I recommend learning about lasers and diodes in general before purchase.  This site http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/laserdio.htm#diocss1 has great infomation about working with lasers.
