Losing interest in lasers.

I blame that on winter and bad weather

lol, sometimes I do the same thing, but I don't know why.

Maybe all you need is a little break.

You will start appreciating your lasers once you find out what would it be like without having them.

Or move up the food, errr I mean power chain

^Very true>>+rep from me
I don't find my 15mW greenie for a while, but that doesn't increase my interest in lasers, probably because I know I still have it (it's somewhere in house but I don't know where, LOL!:crackup: ).
@Greenlander: Try something that you never did with your lasers(even if are only Class IIIa). This everytime makes me to love mine(I have just one for the moment, I know).
EDIT: Here you'll find out how it looks:http://laserpointerforums.com/members/burninglaserguy/albums/few-pictures-my-old-15mw-green-laser/

It's the building that keeps me going.
My heart starts pumping when I click a freshly built laser for the first time.

I've been building so much lately, and my favorite thing is when a laser virgin gives me the report of their first experience. Really keeps the spark going.

How many people tell you immediately after they pop their 650?

Are you sure? lol, I was just making fun about the same type of jokes I everytime do.


I have two hands!:wave:

@Greenlander: Did you ever take a beamshot of your 473nm laser in heavy fog? Just askin'

It's normal to lose interest in hobbies. I have dozens of hobby interests that come and go. Most of them form clusters of related hobbies. For example, light, color, and vision is a cluster that includes interest in lasers, diodes, fine arts, graphic design. In each hobby I learn something that makes the others seem more interesting.

There's nothing wrong with packing up your lasers and storing them in a safe place. The great thing about LPF is there's no way to quit: once you join, you're a member for life. So if we don't see you for a while, that's OK, we'll just assume you'll be back.

They always come back.

I have been trying that from the start haha. But I do think it may be time to move on to more powerful units(as others mentioned). 5mW does get boring after awhile
