Here I use a homemade 100mW Blu-Ray laser to light a match. This laser cost me about $30 to make, I'll be uploading a How-To video on how to build your own Burning Blue/Violet laser.

You can buy these laser diodes from my store! http://styropyro.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&p...

  • Why didn't you use these "laser drivers" or can this be done without a driver? What happens if you just plug the diodes positive and negative pins to the battery's pins?

  • For this one I used a bulky homemade laser diode driver. You must have a driver to run these things because the drivers give the diode the right amount of current. Hooking a bare diode up to a battery will kill the laser diode almost instantly because the battery unloads all of its power into the diode, which causes the diode to fry.
