Description
This is a compact, self-contained laser exposure and indicator system available in 10W and 100W optical power configurations. Designed for advanced users, makers, and engineers, it integrates a high-power laser diode, a dedicated self-control box with leak detection, TEC (Thermoelectric Cooler) driver, and comprehensive power management into a single, modifiable platform. Operating on a versatile 12V DC input, it is purpose-built for mobile applications, custom installations, and experimental projects where a stable, controllable high-power light source is required. Note: This is a sophisticated optical/electronic component for experienced individuals only.
