Hello from sussex

I bought a wicked lasers arctic amd promptly and irrevocably ruined it . soooo thats a lesson learned!!
Anyway just wanted to say hi to all you good people.

Hi and welcome! I hope you enjoy being apart of this forum! If your looking to build your own laser, you can go here http://laserpointerforums.com/f51/i-want-build-laser-thread-52972.html For your first build you should just use a cheap diode so if you do kill it, it doesnt cost much to get a new one. If you like red i recommend a LOC diode such as an lpc 815 or lpc 826. If you like violet more than red you should go with a phr 805t or a phr 803t.
