Besides everything already said, I've also observed the declining trend of forums in general. :thinking: I guess people, besides losing interest in lasers (greens are very popular and cheap, so aren't really a novely anymore), also are getting sucked into other websites like facebook or...

Nice beamshots, especially the color comparisons! :D I really like these lovely colors. Beautiful hosts, too. :beer: EDIT: have to spread rep first...

Lumens are measure of visible light. Invisible light can heat stuff too. Or does it really have to be mainly visible light in your case?

Pour petrol onto it. Take a match and light it on fine. You have a burning flashlight. Seriously, flashlight's primary purpose is illuminating stuff. So, visible light. (Exceptions are specialty flashlights, e.g. UV light) To burn stuff, you don't need visible light. So infrared is fine...

It's nice to see unusual/rare colors! :D I like those comparison shots too. :beer: Would be nice to have spectrograms of various diodes.

Sweet! :D Lovely color, cool host, nice pics, and good job! EDIT: have to spread the rep first...

Very nice. :beer: Can't rep yet, though.

Actually by having both a side switch and a rear (tailcap) switch, the laser can be operated as if it had only a side or a rear switch by leaving the other switch on the 'on' position. I also like the 'off', 'armed', 'on' sequence, with optional led indicators. Another option would be having 2...

My PL-E has rear + side switches (and power indicators), and I love it! :D Having both is good for safety.

Awesome thread! :D Spiders are cool! And they also kill those pesky flies and mosquitoes. A jumping spider that was in my house: Taking photos was very difficult, the spider was so fast! And jumpy! It can also walk on window glass.

If long-distance pointing is desired, then beam divergence and shape should also be taken into account. Color is a matter of personal preference. 450 is kinda purpleish, 465-470 is nice, ligher blue. 520 is essentially definition of green. I myself prefer beam specs over power, as there is...

Great pics! :beer: How big are the hematite magnets?

Besides the inflation of the rep system, I would mention Goodhart's law: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure." For example, for veteran section it is required to have 1000 posts, regardless of their quality. This kind of encourages quantity over quality, and it is...

Re: BobMc's collection Nice collection! :D I also like the tripods and the clamps.

Nice unit, that green light surely is bright! :beer: Lovely color. I would just add that the pictures should've been resized, they are too large to view.

Lovely color, nice host! :beer: I like the indicator LED too.

Really? The module/diode isn't glued in?

I would contact them, I'm pretty sure something could be arranged.

Nice pics! :beer: I like that tripod, also. Is it possible to get hosts like this? All of the gatlings i know of are glued.

Nice and simple. I like it. :beer:
