Re: For sale: NEW 1W-2W 445nm 501B lasers from $110 Looks great in the rain.

Re: For sale: NEW 1W-2W 445nm 501B lasers from $110 Shining around in the rain is awesome, sparkling beam like no other, until the cops ominously stop outside your house, flash their lights and drive off. o_0 Blord, you sell a scary device ;)

Makes a lot of sense actually, I sometimes forget not everyone is working almost slave labour rates in a random chinese factory... Does PayPal let you add a note to your automatically generated confirmation email? Even something like "you won't get a shipping confirmation" or something to that...

Re: For sale: NEW 1W-2W 445nm 501B lasers from $110 You might want to look a little further into how green/blue lasers work before you go ordering a 1W of either :\ In short, they're completely different. $130 will get you couple hundred mW of green tops.

Yo man, would really appreciate it if you sent a shipping confirmation email. Only one I got was from PayPal, I just like knowing all the steps :) In other news, cut this in half and looks awesome on one of Blord's 501B Blue hosts.

Re: For sale: NEW 1W-2W 445nm 501B lasers from $110 Almost forgot the images! No beamshots for you, everyone should already know how 1W blue looks :P Some notes: Seriously, this module is beautifully crafted. Never stop, Blord. This laser looks awesome with a warning sticker from Innovative...

Re: For sale: NEW 1W-2W 445nm 501B lasers from $110 Aye, would just love to see a proper number to go along with it :)

Re: For sale: NEW 1W-2W 445nm 501B lasers from $110 Just the 1W one, but mine peaks at 1.1 :D Good thing I have some 18650s as well, because put one of them in and it drops to super low power. How low I'm not sure as I lack an LPM, anyone want to check for me?

Re: For sale: NEW 1W-2W 445nm 501B lasers from $110 When night falls, I shall indeed :)

Re: For sale: NEW 1W-2W 445nm 501B lasers from $110 After some initial shipping concerns (which Blord updated me about extremely quickly every time) this gorgeous device finally arrived. Beautifully machined, wonderful host, awesome laser. Would definitely buy from him again. Thanks again :D

Was reading the paper today, and came across a lovely report. Only sad thing is that this was all the way back on page 25, so less people will read it. I think there needs to be much more laser safety awareness around the general public :\

I think I'll make a proper judgement when I get the module - Here's hoping there's no need to pot mod it in the first place. If I do... Well, I think I'll keep it away from eye level. :)

With that sobering thought, I think I'll keep it either pointed up away from eyesight or kept at 5mW.

Being a cheap laser, I doubt it's filtered. I'll salvage one from an old digital camera I have lying around and attach it. Ok, sounds like I might just keep it at 5mW then, unless I do plan to go to the more intense stuff... Thanks again :)

So, to be safe assume it's not eye safe? I might see how it looks, if it's acceptable at 5mW I might even just leave it at that.
