Give it till summer for me. I have something expensive and good planned...

As for right now, its just my 589 that takes the cake for most expensive purchase...

Most expensive retail would be the 476/480....

Most expensive readily available is the 561... too many categories :p

Is it just me or did you recently add 518nm to your "signature"?
I have yet to see 518nm, but seeing the pictures of different members, it must be a unique wavelength :p

I had my 520nm put under a spectrometer a while back. Metered 517.5nm, and I recently turned up the power a bit so I just called it 518nm.

I plan on getting the 1W 520's somewhere down the road, so I'll need to make a distinction somewhere :p

FYI valuable and expensive are two completely different things. Something could be worth nothing but be priceless to the owner. Expensive is obviously cost but valuable is defined by the owner and their own experiences, thoughts or beliefs (not to get technical or anything :na:)

EDIT: Things, is the first one the projector from your avatar?

Highest real world value? The ArKr. Highest I actually paid? The 589.

Pick :p

Yea haha, I just meant in this sense.

Post either your most expensive laser OR your most valuable one(laser that means the most to you). I can see how someone can be confused though :)

Comparison to 594 :)

Through a glass sculpture. Doing this, with an unfocused beam, you can actually project the shape onto a wall. While twisting it, you can get the projected image to twist like 3D!

Wouldn't be Bloomie's if it wasn't multiline ;)

iirc you live on an AFB. How do the other guys like your lasers? It looks like dorm building for lack of a better word so I'm guessing they all see random glows from under your door :crackup: "WTF is Sean doing in there?!!?! Is he an alien?"

People I don't even know have said "Oh! You're the laser guy!" when someone asks how a project is doing.

I've shown supervision my lasers, and taught them some things, they all love it :) As a matter of fact, I generally leave a 405nm pen out, and they now know what it does ;) So during inspections, they can play :)
