That is what I'm thinking. To be honest, I just got the laser and goggles yesterday, so I'm not used to either. I played around with the laser later on in the night, and seemed to get used to the goggles.

I thought this was just in my head until one of my friends who had my second pair of 4+ goggles on during a test of my Arctic. Afterward, he complained of having a small headache centralized around his temples, and I felt a little light headed. Would this be because of the orange goggle tint, or...

Well, I just received my Arctic in the mail today. Oddly, they sent me a G1 when I thought they were no longer making it. The battery is charging, so I'll be able to check it out later on tonight.

Sorry for yet again another freakin' Arctic thread. I believe I'll be receiving mine in the next couple days if they actually did ship as they said. I'm wondering if anyone has taken apart the Arctic. I'm specifically interested in the driver. I understand many people tested the mW output at...

The button setup would go as follows: The main on/off button that would cut the hot power source from all of the drivers/diodes, and then individual buttons for each laser. I don't plan on having all on at once for any kind of burning. I'd maybe turn them on just for show, but it would be quick...

Naw, that isn't a problem for me. I'm a car guy, so I have quite a few friends with full machine shops including lathes. I would have more of an issue just syncing everything together so there are no shorts.

BRILLIANT! This would simplify the making of the heat sink to fit. Personally (due to my ignorance of laser diodes), I did not know that the 532nm had reverse polarity. If this is the only issue, I think my project could be a reality. Amazon.com: Arctic Silver Thermal Epoxy: Electronics It...

How about the heat sink being cut into a four piece pie where each section is alone divided by the others? Each would theoretically have their own heat sinks, yet fit together properly. I could make the the host/Maglight devoid of holding any current by isolating the buttons and battery. Should...

Hmmm. I guess I have some homework to do on this. I will have to look into whether the casings of the diodes I'm considering also carry the polarity with them or not. I'm not planning on mounting the diodes alone into the heat sink, but rather pre-built housings, so the casing would be my...

I understand the first problem. I'd do my best to have them properly in sync so that I can see them all 10, 20, 30 feet away in the same pattern. I'll figure something out for that possibly including a couple different dyes. As for the heat sink +/-, do some of these diodes have reverse...

Alright guys, I have an idea for a little project. I'm thinking of turning an old Maglight below into a quad laser. In other words, I'm thinking of utilizing the large space area of the head of the light to house 4 laser diodes. The length of the shaft (including removing some plastic crap...

I didn't see the point of deleting them when they could have just been locked.

5mW 532nm Violet Purple Blue-Ray Blue Laser Pointer Pen - eBay (item 190431677673 end time Aug-16-10 18:16:35 PDT) Non related, but where did my post count go? Looks like LPF permanently deleted the Arctic threads in 445nm. :thinking:

I didn't know 532nm came in blue. :rolleyes:
