High-Power Laser Module 12V 2.5W – Integrated Driver

If you’re looking for a laser that can produce some real energy, we have finally sourced an affordable and reliable 12V 2.5W High-Power Laser Module, which is so powerful that you need protective glasses just to look at the light beam that it produces. It is designed for high-intensity applications like laser engraving or cutting thin materials, and can be used within 3D Printers, and CNC machines to build hobbyist laser engravers.

With a high-intensity laser being able to control it from a safe distance is very important for safety, therefore a PCB driver module has been integrated into the laser enclosure. This module controls the power output of the laser so that it can be installed into a project and controlled from a safe distance. Some users even use this laser to shine at the tiny mirror located on the moon, as an experiment to ascertain the distance of the moon from Earth by measuring the amount of time the light takes to travel there and back.

Just remember that this laser is extremely powerful and should never be aimed directly at any other person or animal, as it can burn skin and cause blindness from a surprisingly long range. As keeping our customers safe while using products is a big factor for us, we highly recommend picking up a pair of protective glasses to protect users from the immense energy and radiation that the laser produces.

Please Note: This laser module is extremely powerful and should only be operated by Makers with experience using a laser. If you are looking for a laser module to turn your Creality 3D Printer into a laser engraver then check out the Creality Laser Module we stock.

Typical Applications for the High-Power Laser Module 12V 2.5W:

This High-Power Laser Module operates at 12V to produce a 2.5W beam of light capable of engraving, as well as cutting thin materials like paper, plastic and certain woods. It is ideal for CNC engraving and cutting, as well as for measuring long distances in certain applications. However, it is a far more dangerous laser than many that are available to average consumers, so be sure that you treat it with proper respect and never shine it directly at people or animals. Whereas most keyring laser pointers are rated between 1mW and about 5mW, this laser is rated at 2500mW, meaning that it can cause serious damage. If you want to learn more about the proper handling and usage of a Class 4 laser then be sure to read through the Laser Safety Facts page.

However, despite the potential dangers, there are many great applications for this laser. We have really enjoyed experimenting with the capabilities in our workshop (with protective glasses of course), and have found it to be very effective at engraving, while offering reasonably good cutting potential.
