Also the Zbolts are very tightly regulated and are constant 4.5mw or 4.8mw - you get a power read with each one ..
They are constant duty .
This may make them more visible.
I like the 488 between 5mw and 10 mw.
The ones on ebay look nice but overspecced
Thanks . I wonder about the new Sharp Diode Lasers at 488 nm they are way overspecced. Do ANY of you guys have the ability to dial one of these down to just visible beam at night but not too bright ?
About 10 mw max maybe a tad over 5mw.
I would buy 2 send them both you tweak one way down and...

If the idiots had not been pointing at Planes we would not even have to worry right ?
I asked Max at Lazerer about a few 5 mw and he will make a 515nm 5 mw in a Mini or Cyber at low price...but he seems to think no visible beam at 5mw.
The Astronomy...
Re: JETLASERS Pop-up quicky Group Buy
Off Axis invisibility is best.
I am not going to explain to you people how things work in the Big Cities.
I have never seen a Laser in the Sky where I live and I am not going to be a Pioneer in this area...lol.
Re: JETLASERS Pop-up quicky Group Buy
Well I am not interested in building a Laser- if I am willing to spend a few hundred for one why learn a new trade just to have a Laser that is inferior to one which an expert will build?
I am the Logic Captain - if I shine a Laser outside even at a...
Well I WANT low power 5 milliwatts in a Sky Blue or Cyan ' brighter wavelength' and then have someone build it into a Host.
So if they remain at 470 to 488 at low 5mw power even better.
Are you saying these Diodes are hundreds of dollars each or more?
Like 500 to 1000 each ? Wow.
That would...
Thanks for the response.
I have read accounts of the Zbolt Sapphire Blue 5 mw laser having a visible beam outside by Astronomy Users even near Cities ...it is about half
as bright as Green...however it is 450nm with APC.
There are 460nm offerred in pen hosts by Berlin Lasers and a few others...
Ah...So getting a higher wavelength at low power is difficult because the wavelength goes lower...at lower power.
So I need to get someone to start with a 472 to 488nm Diode to get Cyan at 5milliwatts..assuming they:
1) Exist ...lol
2) Will Lase at 5 milliwatts
3) Cost $ 75 to $100 per...
I believe you and have read others talking about this also.
5mW Blue Laser Pointer, 460nm Blue Laser | Berlinlasers
I asked if this was really 460nm and really 5 mw and if they could put it in a nicer host ...not a pen.
No answer to my email ...lol.
Are all these fake then and really just...
Thanks Red good explanation.
I think the Osram 515nm is one of the better Diodes ..they brag about the beam quality and I think it's supposed to be round and only 1.1 millimeter.
For my Lasers I like the idea of safer 5 mw but visible beam ...the Zbolts have this in 532nm and 515nm...
Re: JETLASERS Pop-up quicky Group Buy
Can or WILL Jetlasers do a 462nm at a true Metered 5mw ?
At a low divergence with glass lens and APC -should have a nice visible beam in darkness or humid night air BUT limited off Axis visibility- a good thing.
I have read 5 mw with no IR does not...
Will Laserbtb produce Diode Lasers in the 460nm to 465nm range which are brighter Blue in various wattage ratings ?
I am interested in 5mw TRUE metered no goggles needed FDA
460nm or higher wavelength ( 465 472 er
tc. ) Blue Diode laser in a
16340 or 18650 host.
Others will want higher...
Ha .Creative.
On the 515 Osram at 5mw...
Is the beam very round and focused like a DPSS but different color of course and does it have a good visible beam in dark or night outside?
Thinking of buying a 515 nm in 5 mw.
