Focusable 650nm Red Cross Beam Laser Module 5–80mW | 12×55mm
Focusable 650nm Red Cross Beam Laser Diode Module
Precision meets versatility with this compact 650nm red laser diode module from Elubor. Featuring an adjustable-focus cross beam pattern and Mitsubishi diode core, this module delivers a sharp, visible red cross marker ideal for industrial alignment, woodworking, tiling, DIY projects, stage effects, and more. Available in five power levels — 5mW, 10mW, 20mW, 50mW, and 80mW — so you can choose the right output for your specific application.
Key Features
- Focusable Design: PVC focus lens allows you to precisely adjust the cross beam for a crisp, sharp projection at your desired working distance.
- Cross Beam Pattern: Projects a clear red cross (+) marker for accurate alignment, leveling, and positioning tasks.
- Mitsubishi Diode Core: High-quality laser diode ensures stable output, consistent wavelength, and long service life.
- Multiple Power Options: Choose from 5mW, 10mW, 20mW, 50mW, or 80mW to suit short-range or extended-range applications (up to ~4 meters at 80mW in indoor conditions).
- Compact Aluminum Housing: Durable 12mm × 55mm anodized aluminum body is lightweight, heat-dissipating, and easy to mount or integrate.
- Low Voltage Operation: Runs on DC 5V (20mA–140mA operating current) — compatible with USB power supplies, microcontrollers, and standard DC adapters.
- Visible Red Beam: 650nm wavelength emits a bright visible red beam within a wide working temperature range of ±50°C.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What power level should I choose for my red cross beam laser module?
A: It depends on your working distance and application. For close-range tasks (1–2 meters), 5mW or 10mW is sufficient. For medium-range alignment up to 2.5–3 meters, 20mW or 50mW works well. For the longest indoor range (up to 4 meters), the 80mW option provides a bright, well-defined cross marker.
Q: Is this 650nm laser diode module compatible with Arduino or Raspberry Pi?
A: Yes. The module operates at DC 5V with an operating current range of 20mA–140mA, making it compatible with 5V microcontroller platforms such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi when used with an appropriate driver circuit or current-limiting resistor.
Q: Can I adjust the focus of the cross beam?
A: Absolutely. The module features a focusable PVC lens assembly that allows you to rotate the front lens housing to sharpen or spread the cross beam pattern for your specific working distance.
Q: What are common applications for this red cross laser module?
A: This module is widely used for industrial alignment, machine vision, woodworking and tile layout, DIY electronics projects, stage lighting effects, robotics, and sensor positioning systems where a precise cross beam marker is needed.
