Here's my laser diode
you can see how bright and how small the light source is, and this is driven way below the rated value for the photo. So now you know why such a small over voltage can damage it. It is running at its limit (normally)

Hah, I really enjoyed the microwave mortuary.
Nice photography, DaJJHman. There are some other members here who are interested in glasswork as well.
I just wish I had a torch that has oxygen that lasts longer than 15 minutes! but I must save money for that, I have an oxy torch at our farm, but that is an three hour round trip, and I don't know if the farmhand will be using it when I get there... so I just have to try to work fast lol, and who are the other glass workers here?

Speaking of glasswork, anyone seen or made 'Prince Rupert Drops' in person? I've seen it once in a tour of a glass factory, the tension of the glass on the outside holds the whole thing together but if you snap the tail the whole thing explodes.... might make a good high speed photography project too.
