I made one of those years ago!
These projectors were the first mass produced blue laser diodes for consumer devices. I sacrificed several dozens of these things days after they came out for the 24 diode array inside. Was a great time to be into lasers, never would we have guessed we'd get such power density from a diode in the standard form factor, never ever would we have thought they'd be blue, and never ever ever did we think they'd be ~$40 bucks a piece. Good times...
This was a early model, each diode ran about 1W on a duty cycle that maxed around 80%, depending on the output brightness setting. This was full power, of course![Loser](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/sign0058.gif)
I forgot the cease and desist orders I got from Casio! They didn't like me breaking them down and selling them, and I think they are the ones who turned paypal on me!

I need to dress in overalls with no shirt just to go screw with people some time. I don't recall ever seeing overalls for sale anywhere. I must not be shopping in the proper part of town to find them.
