This product does not emit light of its own, so the standard review format will not be used and the product will not be assigned a rating. This website is mostly about light-emitting products, but occasionally, you'll see non-light emitting products on it too if it's something I use regularly and/or really like.

This is the Aixiz Diode Laser Module PSU (Power Suply Unit).

It plugs in to any household AC receptacle ("AC outlet" or even "wall socket" if you prefer) and is advertised to have an output of 3.20 volts at 500mA; it was measured to have a loaded (with a diode laser module that consumed 21.20mA connected to it) voltage output of 4.500 volts.

To use this product, connect a diode laser module via the power supply's insulated alligator clips -- as usual, the red one goes to the laser module's positive (+) lead, and the black one goes to the laser module's negative (-) lead.

Unfold the AC prongs until they're perpendicular with the body of the power supply itself, and plug it into any standard (in north America anyway) 2- or 3- slot AC receptacle that outputs 110 volts to 240 volts AC at a frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz. If you live outside of north America, you may need to procure an adapter that converts your country's AC plug configuration into the 2- or 3-slot one used in north America -- no voltage conversion is required, just the physical layout of the receptacle's slots is all that is necessary here.

Immediately after the unit is plugged in, the laser module connected to its output should spring to life.

When you're finished using it, unplug it from the wall outlet, and disconnect the diode laser module from its alligator clips. You may leave the AC prongs on the power supply as they are, or push them over toward the right to stow them in the little compartment for them.



This product is designed to be operated from "house current" (110 volts to 240 volts AC 50Hz to 60Hz, not batteries of any type, so I do not have to tell you which part to remove, huck down the basement stairs into the room crawling with thousands of hungry mealworms (darkling beetle larvae), and then rather emphatically tell you not to.



The Aixiz Diode Laser Module PSU is designed to be used as a power supply unit for diode laser modules, not as flashlight meant to be carried around, thrashed, and abused; so I won't try to drown it in the toliet tank, bash it against a steel rod or against the concrete floor of a front porch, let my mother's big dog's ghost or my sister's kitty cats spring a leak (uranate) all over it, run over it with a 450lb Celebrity motorised wheelchair, stomp on it, use a medium or large ball peen hammer in order to bash it open to check it for candiosity, fire it from the cannoņata, drop it down the top of Mt. Erupto (I guess I've been watching the TV program "Viva Piņata" too much again - candiosity is usually checked with a laser-type device on a platform with a large readout (located at Piņata Central {aka. "Party Central"}), with a handheld wand that Langston Lickatoad uses, or with a pack-of-cards-sized device that Fergy Fudgehog uses; the cannoņata (also located at Piņata Central) is only used to shoot piņatas to piņata parties away from picturesque Piņata Island, and Mt. Erupto is an active volcano on Piņata Island), send it to the Daystrom Institute for additional analysis, or perform other indecencies on it that a flashlight might have to have performed on it. So this section of the web page will be ***SIGNIFICANTLY*** more bare than this section of the web page on a page about a flashlight.

In fact, that photograph located directly below may very well be it.

TEST NOTES:
Product was furnished sometime in 2006 or 2007 by Aixiz Service & International, LLC when I purchased diode laser modules from them.
