My New Blu-Ray - Laser Pointer Forums

swimminsurfer256 · 03-06-2010, 01:25 AM

Video is up!!
YouTube - 12x Blu-Ray Laser Pointer

Just purchased this 12x blu-ray with not much use at all from rtyrty100

. Apparently Daguin upgraded it

-- it's in an Igor host w/ Igor heatsink (yay) so of course I immediately fell in love with it.. Pair of safety glasses is coming to me now (for now I'm just using some sunglasses [NOTE: tested them they cut the ~550mW down to ~25mW

]).

Just wanted to make a shoutout about my first blu-ray and that I love it!! Wooo!

The Laser:

With batteries about half full:

If anyone has some blu-ray/laser maintenance tips or just any general tips I'd really appreciate it (I'M NOT DEMANDING IT)! I DO realize I can use "search" I'm just saying if you're looking at this thread thinking "pretty cool" and feeling in a giving-information-al mood then I'd appreciate any tips! This thread is just for people's enjoyment.

Thanks to rtyrty100, Daguin, and IgorT!!

The best tip I can give is to send me your laser immediately. And I'm afraid I AM demanding it!!!!

Nice bit of kit! Enjoy.

Good work.

I didn't build this one myself

it was built originally by Igor and upgraded by Daguin. I purchased it slightly used (~1 hr) from rtyrty100. I definitely don't trust myself building a powerhouse like this yet.. I just wanted a first blu-ray to have!

But my next laser will definitely be one I build myself.. I'll start out with a lower power probably.. don't want to throw away all that money if I screw up!

Meatball · 03-06-2010, 02:41 AM

Treat that 25mw through the glasses as 100mw. The sunglasses may be cutting down on BR power, but they are also causing your pupils to dilate. The hole in your eye for light to enter becomes bigger, increasing the risk for that 25mw to enter. Just as a precaution, in case you didn't already know. Cool? Cool!

Have fun!

Oh dont worry I'm treating it still like it's the full 550mW! Always better safe than sorry

Thanks though!

kevinmassey · 03-06-2010, 04:13 AM

i love those romisen hosts! im so jealos that is one awesome laser!

kingdave2357 · 03-06-2010, 04:53 AM

sweet find swim!!

if you have glasses for your green, they might also protect from blu-ray(depends on the glasses) my 532nm glasses are OD 4 for both 532nm and 405nm, and when your ready for your first build, check out jayrob's pocket mini kit, i just put one together today and i gotta say, its one sweet host, i will be buying a few more, just thought id pass it along!

genius5th · 03-07-2010, 06:32 PM

nice build

Greenmechanic · 03-08-2010, 01:14 AM

Very nice!
I'm looking forward to finishing my 12X build.
550mW is some awesome burning power.

swimminsurfer256 · 03-08-2010, 03:14 AM

Just put the clips together in iMovie in the past 10 minutes so it's coming! (exporting currently)

kingdave2357 · 03-08-2010, 10:23 AM

you got me interested now, shame too i was doing so good, ah well time to start saving for a 12X drive

Gryphon · 03-08-2010, 11:12 AM

Very cool laser!

jander6442 · 03-08-2010, 12:03 PM

550mW... very schweet. I wondering if you have a exotic lens in there, or just a hot diode?

Also, if I may ask what meter is that? I can't make it out in the pic. Please and thank you.

*edit* never mind on the meter I see it in your sig

@jander6442 12x BR DIODES

jander6442 · 03-08-2010, 05:11 PM

^ thanks I'm up on the current #'s for the 12x... thanks go out to those who have made that possible. It's just that without seeing your mA setting I was
<shamed to say> "assuming" yours either had the exotic lens of sorts or was really an efficient diode.

*edit* Ok I read the chart you have the lens in question, and have an efficient diode as well.

enjoy!!!!!!!!!

Glad to be of some sort of help :P

I definitely am enjoying!!

wee40811 · 04-06-2010, 11:48 PM

I like this laser. I have the same version but it's 140mw.

yobatts · 04-15-2010, 09:37 PM

what did that set you back?

kevinmassey · 04-15-2010, 09:40 PM

Its a 12x, so even used it was probably at the lowest 350$

yobatts · 04-15-2010, 09:49 PM

damn if thats the one in his avatar. then thats like the ideal build for myself. color size and everything.

kevinmassey · 04-15-2010, 11:11 PM

The only reason its so expensive is because the 12x diode in it is 200$. It's a custom build. You could get the same host and put a 13$ PHR in it. It will be the same color just only 1/5 the power.

yobatts · 04-15-2010, 11:17 PM

ok wen you say power are you talking power to burn or all around beam power?
to tell you the truth all i want is the most solid BEAm i can get. i dont really want to burn much.im sure i will but to me the solidness of the beam of light is what im after..any info that might help me out in that area.

kevinmassey · 04-15-2010, 11:31 PM

If you want a solid beam of light go with green! Green is the brightest color by far. The pictures are decieving. 100mw of bluray is comparable to maybe a couple mw of green.

yobatts · 04-15-2010, 11:38 PM

ya i got a Photonic Disruptor on the way to me in the mail. its 100mW of green so im sure that will do it for me but i do love the violet color haha. so even going from say a 8x to a 12x wont get me a more solid beam just a better burning tip...is that right?
