I'm relatively new to lasers, and threads like this are just amazing! I need a napkin to wipe up the drool. Some time in the future I hope to have my own little laser rainbow lol.
My collection is small, but here it is......
200mW red Estimation based on current 315mA
20mW green
100mW Blu-Ray Estimation based on current 135mA PHR Diode
I am missing my dilda, DIY BR and 2 Ledshoppe 50mW right now as a friend is borrowing them for some light shows (don't worry, I gave him hours of safety lessons ;D) but I thought I would post a nice picture with my IgorT 6x and a few greenies in a slightly steamy room with 10% extra exposure (makes up for my camera capturing BR terribly). This picture turned out pretty good and very close to what it looks like IRL. The greenies look very fat because they are only half as far away as the BR. As you can see, the room was not very dark, but the steam really made the beams visible.
Hopefully I will get some nice shots for you guys when I get my stuff back in a few days
Oh, and all you people's pictures are amazing I am kinda sad only to own three colours so far.
I've never really showed off any of my red and BR builds so here's some of my collection.
The blu-ray is a PHR-803T at 120mW with flex drive V4 in a Z-bolt constant-on clicky pen (focusable), the red is a 280mW LCC in Galileo body (focusable), and the green is my trusty X105 put back in it's original case and given a nice matte black finish. I would take better "rainbow" pics but my camera is very well IR filtered... so well that it has a hard time picking up even 200-300mW of red.
In this last picture, all three lasers were focused to one spot on cardboard. The resulting "white" is brilliant even if the green dominates a little. But... since my camera doesn't like red wavelengths, it gets picked up as cyan, so no pictures yet.
