I really would like to hold onto this baby, but I need to pay for school plus a couple of new monitors for my desktop. Up for sale here is a 400mW rated CNI PGL-III-C ordered through Glenn's CNI GB #11. At the peak of its life, this thing could pump out well over 700mW of green, but it appears...

Interesting question here... I just got a battery powered headphone amp that normally runs off of 4 AAA batteries. They say it'll work fine on 1.2V NiMH batteries, but not as well as 1.5V alkalines. I'd prefer not to use primaries if I can though, so I phoned the company to find out if I could...

Selling my old 32GB 3rd gen iPod touch with iOS 4.2.1. Bought in February 2010, it is in like new condition (small dent and a couple scuffs on the back) due to being used with a case and screen protector throughout its life. Offered in its original packaging, with brand new earbuds and transfer...

Selling my 400mW rated 445 DL Spartan, as seen in its review thread, here. As stated in the thread, a wire going from the driver to the diode broke, but I found someone at my workplace who was able to resolder a new wire to the diode and fix it. Everything seems to be working fine now. I have...

I'm looking for a bright flashlight to add to my light collection sometime in the next month, and am torn between two different lights: The Olight SR90, and the MG X-Thrower. Anyone have any experience with these? I'm looking for mainly throw, as I have a Fenix TK-11 that I can use for "normal"...

Maybe all the 445 craze has passed, but I still couldn't help but notice this. NCIX is having a sale for the opening of their new store in Markham (east of Toronto), with the Casio projector selling for CAD$730. This is valid online or at any of their retail stores. They only have 1 left at...

I've noticed the forum clock is getting faster. Around two weeks ago, I saw the forum was around 11 minutes ahead of actual. Tonight, it's at least 14 minutes ahead. Any idea why it was off in the first place? Also, is there an NTP server that the server uses to keep the time in check? If so, I...

Got my 400mW Spartan today from the post office, and picked up some Energizer CR123A batteries as my LiFePo4's from Lighthound haven't come yet. Unpacking: Laser seems to be fairly well protected, as do the laser goggles I got with it. Neither was damaged in shipping. Goggles: Take down...

I've seen some users with a bar image that shows off a laser they have. I seem to remember seeing a link about where to generate them, but I have no idea where to start looking for it again. Does anyone know where they come from? I "borrowed" this one from rpaloalto's sig:

Ars Technica had a neat writeup about a method the NIST posted on how to see if your green 532nm DPSS laser was outputting any IR. Granted, most people here probably already know how to do this with other methods, but I thought the method was still rather ingenious. Achtung! Test safety of...
