The Laser Diode Module emits a focused red dot at 650nm (nanometres, a unit of light wavelength) with 58mW transmit power. It runs on 3V to 5V DC and draws only 40mA, so a standard Arduino supply handles it without any issue. The laser diode module hw493 has a built-in APC (automatic power control) driver that keeps brightness stable even when supply voltage fluctuates slightly.
One honest limitation is that the 58mW output is stronger than basic 5mW modules, so never point it directly at eyes. The wire length is approximately 135mm, which reaches most project boards easily. Students and makers buy this 5V laser light module for target detection, distance sensing, and alignment builds. Connect red to 5V and black to GND and the dot appears instantly. StemVolt provides this sensor with trusted quality, ensuring reliable performance and easy usability.
