Flashlight Driver Circuit
Here are the answers to common questions about this project.
Q. Can I use a CD player/burner or DVD player Diode.
A. No. Only a DVD burner diode 16x or faster will work.
Q. Do I need the Aixiz Housing?
A. Yes. It serves as a heatsink for the high-power diode and also the focusing element is essential.
Q. What happens to the existing circuit board that is inside the Aixiz housing?
A. It is not used for this project. You can keep it for a lower mA diode like a standard red laser pointer diode or just discard it.
Q. What's with the 'pins' you used?
A. The 'pins' are snippings from old resistors. You can use any sturdy wire. They are soldered to the diode and then inserted in the mini-mag plastic fitting that original held the mini-mag lightbulb.
Q. Can I use a regular laser pointer from the dollar store as the housing.
A. See the previous Question/Answer
Q. Can I use another type of flashlight?
A. Not sure. This project is based on the mini-mag.
Q. My diode is not burning anything. What did I do wrong?
A. In order for the diode to 'burn' it needs to be focused to a fine point and also the object needs to be black or marked black with a Sharpie.
Q. Why can't I see the beam like I can see in the video?
A. I used smoke to make the beam visible.
Q. Should I use a driver circuit?
A. The basis for this project was to show that you could use a diode from a DVD burner and put it in a flashlight and make it 'burn'. Ths is a novelty item and not designed for long-term or regular use. If you want to do that, a driver circuit is highly recommended.

Led Flashlight Circuits Explained
These tools allow students, hobbyists, and professional engineers to design and analyze analog and digital systems before ever building a prototype. Online schematic capture lets hobbyists easily share and discuss their designs, while online circuit simulation allows for quick design iteration and accelerated learning about electronics. The LED circuit below is an example of using 25 white LEDs in series connected to the 120VAC line. It can be modified for more or less LEDs by adjusting the resistor value. Used for LED:Cree XM-L T6 U2,XM-L2 U2 U3,SSC P7 etc. Note:It is Original Cree T6 bulb,not fake bulb! 1x Cree T6 LED. There are many cheap,fake t6 bulb in the market,the chip is smaller than Original t6 bulb,you can buy a cheap bulb,and compare them,you will see.
What kind of driver golf club. Composite drivers are clubs that combine several different types of materials. Lightweight materials such as carbon or heavyweight materials such as tungsten are often combined with titanium to improve driver performance. Are you a beginner at the great game of golf? Then allow us to introduce you to the golf clubs. There are several different types of golf clubs in a typical golfer's bag. In fact, today, there are five categories of clubs: woods (including the driver), irons, hybrids, wedges and putters. What are these clubs? There are many different types of golf clubs that a player can choose from. The typical set of golf clubs is composed of a combination of different clubs so that the player has one for every shot she may be faced with. The driver, or 1-wood, is the least lofted and is employed to hit the ball the farthest. Most woods made today have a graphite shaft and a mostly-hollow titanium, composite, or steel head, of relatively light weight allowing faster club-head speeds. Woods are the longest clubs and the most powerful of all the golf clubs. Five Good Questions About Drivers - Golf.com. By GOLF WIRE. Tuesday, February 20, 2007. Your driver is probably going to be the most technologically advanced and expensive club in your bag. New models arriving in pro shops. We now know that those kinds of shots have too much backspin. In order to get the ball.
