Greetings from a lurker :)

So.. I'm rainst0rm, I live in the bay area. I work in technology and am interested in all types of things, including lasers. I currently have a 200mw 532nm green and a 500mw 405nm violet laser but I'm always looking to experiment. I am grateful for experienced people like yourselves to guide noobs like me so we don't hurt ourselves! Hakzaw1 said to say he sent me, and that you guys would't hold that against me

Thanks, and happy, safe experimenting to all!

welcome!

Do you have glasses for those lasers?

Also, I need some help in my first-ever post: http://laserpointerforums.com/f51/little-help-1-2w-405-445nm-build-75608.html#post1090701

Hak! Thank you for your help. I got it working using a lazerpoint.com 500mw host. Replaced the board and diode and now I burn things from far away Check out my other thread for details: Post Link
