I have a good one lol  ;) just read it wrong i suppose, hence the edit  :D


I forgot to mention in my PM, it would be helpful if you could send a set of batteries with it, I'll send them back if they have any charge left :p

thanks, I'll do my best to meter it and return it in as little time as possible

Energizer lithiums seem to work best in lasers, I have a pair that have lasted 4 months in my 5mW green and have only started needing replacement in the last week or two, opposed to alkalies which only last me about 4 days :p

all the best,

Re: FS: 500mW 808nm Laser

IR diodes are usually multimode, and therefore are difficult to focus. You tend to get a small line rather than a dot which takes a shit on the power density.

Either way, I don't see this being much over 200mW. I have an actual 500mW pen (from CNI, metered at 430mW) that toasts a bit better than that.

whoever has the 4W argon ion in this thread, that was probably the most amazing laser video ive seen in forever. (well, of a visible spectrum laser) I wish we could somehow make that handheld and pulsed....
