rhd, thanks for the reassurance. When i thought about it after posting I thought that surely if thats the full charge of the battery the laser should be designed to handle it, but its good to get confirmation from someone who knows more about it. Cheers.
snoutke, yeah I have a multimeter...
Sorry for bring up an old thread, but I wanted to ask a question about battery overcharging. I charged the battery I got with my 100mW green laser, but I forgot about it and left it to charge a little bit too long. So it got charged to just under 4.1 V. Its a 18650 2400mAh ultrafire battery with...
Hi guys!
I wanted to share with the LPF members a video I made a while ago, which shows off my 405nm violet laser that I bought from ebay. Just to demonstrate the laser a little bit. Hope you guys like it! Sorry if this is not worthy of its own thread, I didnt know whether to post a new thread...
Ah yeah I suppose, you werent wrong there anyway! Ha ha! The video is here:
YouTube - laserchase's Channel
The laser is at about 135mW and placing green protective glasses in front it drops, and after a few seconds its 22mW, at 3:06.
Sorry I thought he was talking about the Rayfoss because in his YouTube video where he tests the IR output of the Rayfoss you can see it drops to exactly 22mW after the green light is filtered out. Thats why I thought he was referring to the Rayfoss, not because of any obsession.
It's not a 50mW unit, its supposed to be a 200mW unit, but only averages about 130mW. So its 22mW out of ~130mW, not out of 50. Assuming you were talking about Mik's laser.
Anyway, I said I would update people on how my experience with Rayfoss turned out, so I came back to report my findings so...
No man they're not UV filtered, I got two pairs about 3 years ago and only used one, but I broke them a few days ago. So for one, they must be the wrong prescription by now! and also I got used to the other pair so the second pair just wasnt the same and I just need time to get used to them...
Yeah thats true, I actually find it harder to see the beam if I'm wearing my glasses! They are new glasses tho. Also if you look at the dot at some distance(naked eye) it looks unusual, not like a normal dot at all, but its entirely to do with my eyes and how they focus on it. It just seems like...
Just thought I'd update you guys on my situation.
Well, I eventually got a response, on the following Wednesday(about 4 or 5 days after I asked for the photo), which said that the laser was already shipped and they didnt get to take a photo of the laser's testing. Now she said it was shipped on...
Yeah, its hard to judge by brightness as our eyes detect some colours better than others. But with these blue lasers the beam is also fairly wide so it looks fainter than a narrower beam of equal power. I have tested mine later in the evening now and I can see the beam. I think at night in pure...
I had actually ordered one of these before reading the review and today, the day after reading this, mine arrived. And I just happened to order from etimeshop too, I hadnt heard anything about them being overspec. They are pretty nice lasers.
Wish I had more sense though because now my phone's...
I began the process of ordering the 100mW version of the B03 model laser from Rayfoss last week. It was going great, I got replies to all emails and the customer service seemed great. I sent the payment through paypal at about 4am Friday morning (I have bad sleeping patterns(EDIT:it was actually...
I ordered the RF532-100mW-B03 about 2 days ago. I hope I dont end up with the same problems you had. That would be a real pain to have to deal with. I bet she'll tell me the output was 110mW. It seems like a lot of ppl are told that its 10mW above the rated value, including this case, with the...
Re: New Stock of Overspec 5mW Green
He said they dont, but to be careful. Not sure what that means for your situation to be honest! If I was to guess I'd say they should have a duty cycle because they are, after all, overspec, way overspec as some people have said. If they are classed as 5mw...
Re: New Stock of Overspec 5mW Green
I'm ordering a 100mw from Rayfoss, but I expect that I will be back here in 2 or 3 weeks to order one from you swimsurfer256. How much would the shipping be to ireland? €3 for international shipping right?
Well, I took your advice and looked into the CNI group buy. some really nice options there, I was very close to getting that 50mw that is said to usually be around >75mw, but when I considered the price it would be over 100euro, so I thought if I was gonna spend that much I may as well go for a...
Re: New Stock of Overspec 5mW Green
How much would shipping to Ireland cost? And is there any chance you might do the >44mw for extra charge offer for me? I know you probably dont wanna continue that, but I've been thinking of getting a 50mw from rayfoss and some of the members here advised...
I actually intended to list that one too but I forgot about it. Its so hard to decide! I'm considering getting one from swimminsurf and a 50mw from rayfoss or somewhere else if I can get a good quality laser. Does anyone have any idea which of the 50mw greenies in this thread are probably the...
