Hey guys, So if those that own the PGL-III-C or M 473nm. The M is the Spartan host for those not familiar. Please could those owning these lasers answer a few questions that would be helpful. How is the stability on yours? What power is your and is it over spec? If so by how much? How much did...

In another thread a new member was asking how good the divergence is on the Crown Upgrade 400mW 532nm costing just $180. To help the man out I looked up my first review I did on LPF of this laser which was my first handheld and I was pretty pleasantly surprised. Since at the time I didn't do the...

This inquiry has to do with Laserman121's fun little experiment found here. I'm hoping there are some rock/crystal hounds that can help me duplicate his results. Last night a borrowed a friends nice fat chunk of calcite and lased a 1W 445nm through it for about 5 seconds and then turned it and...

Hey guy's, I noticed a few people on LPF tend to edit and erase the OP and title in their BST thread after it's been sold. I wish people wouldn't do this. Even if an item has sold there is still helpful and valuable information in there you are deleting. For example if I am buying or selling a...

I had a great evening getting to meet some LPF members and shoot some pics. I will add more photos to the OP after each day. The Argon gas laser through a prism.

After a long day of moving I couldn't wait to get laser room set up. Its got a long way to go but far better than our other house. lasers through fiber optic lamp. These make some very interesting patterns. The videos look even better and remind me of the patterns made by Super Collider such...

If anyone can help me attain a Spartan host for a 462 mm 7675 diode with a custom made driver to safely push the wl into 470+nm. It has to be a spartan because I have bought a 2X beam ex for it and they have reasonably decent heat sinking abilities. 1.5W of 471 light with an 2 X BEAM expander on...

I'm moving next week and in our new apartment I will have the second bedroom all to myself for laser photography and builds, drawing for work ext. I will be painting the room a dark gray and wanted some large canvas prints of Brucemirs work on the walls. Hopefully someday my own pics will be...

Today is my 1st laser-versairy as a member of LPF. Halloween 2014 I went to my Burning Man campmates party we have every year and with me was this laser I bought off of Ebay. It is 50mW 532nm and has a motorized diffraction feature as well as standard beam. Its really a cool little toy. I saw...

(Sorry if this topic is already a thread. I did a search and didn't find anything but you know how the search tool can be). I just reserved the time off work to attend and am very excited for my first LEM. TBH I'm not even sure what to expect but having recently had my first skype call with...

I have noticed Samsung 18650's are surprisingly affordable on places such as Ebay. I recently got one that came with a laser I purchased and put it on my Opus to test it out. Its a really nice cell. They only come in as high as 2100- 3000 mAh but lately I'm not as worried about getting 3400's. I...

I have been trying to work on my beam pics. I'm no Brucemir but hope to keep improving so wanted to compile correctly sized collection of my best shots. I will continue to add more to the OP to keep the thread orderly. Tahnk's fpr looking! RGBY new pics 11-4-15

Hey LPF, Due to a website I donate time and money to that was recently hacked and personal information was breached I need to change my name in LPF. I was told to make an announcement first to inform the community. My new user name will be olympus mons, as in the largest mountain in our solar...

Hey guys, I have some extra parts and 2 -501B ultra fire host Im not going to use. I have plenty others to keep my more than busy this winter. So I want to gift these to someone interested in building. Preferably a young person looking to try building but not able to afford the stuff they need...

Hey guys, well Im back it making trouble for myself again. Im trying to remove this diode from the driver so I can press it into a module for a build. The solder wouldnt heat up even though my iron was very hot so I tried a trick that worked for me in the past of putting a small blob of solder...

Ill try to be as efficient as possible explaining what is going on and what I need. Long story short this spring I got a PLE 800mW 532 repaired from Gray. When I received it and tried it out it was clearly not 800mW. Metered it and it averaged 350mW and never reached higher then 600mW for a...
