{"product_id":"cross-laser-diode-5mw-650nm-red","title":"Cross Laser Diode - 5mW 650nm Red","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Red Laser Cross Diode Module projects a clearly defined cross-shaped laser pattern, making it ideal for alignment, targeting, machine vision, and positioning applications in robotics and embedded projects.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou have some frickin' sharks at your lair, and you're thinking \"it would be really great if I could attach some lasers to them\" and then you see these little laser diode modules: what great timing!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese encapsulated laser diodes are\u003cstrong\u003e Class IIIa 5mW\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a\u003cstrong\u003e 650nm\u003c\/strong\u003e red wavelength. They can be driven from \u003cstrong\u003e2.8V to 5.2V\u003c\/strong\u003e so they're great for your embedded electronics project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular module has a lens attached that will turn the dot into a cross. This makes it particularly good for laser-vision guidance, targeting, and more! Simply connect power to the red and black wires and you will be lasing in no time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cross has a beam spread of approximately \u003cstrong\u003e60°\u003c\/strong\u003e in both directions. So from a distance of \u003cstrong\u003e5cm\u003c\/strong\u003e, the cross is\u003cstrong\u003e 5cm tall and 5cm wide\u003c\/strong\u003e. The cross ends have a sharp cut-off so the shape is very clearly defined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e this is not a laser pointer. It's a diode with integrated driver. You still need a 3 to 5VDC power supply. These diodes are \u003cstrong\u003e5mW\u003c\/strong\u003e output, and have a safety label marked on them.
