I'm back

I am back and kinda after a long break and I am interested to see all the new cool stuff, and possibly buy a yellow with my new job.

Welcome back. There are some new yellow DPSS lab lasers available in 565nm and 575nm from Opt Lasers in China. I believe they are now selling for $50.00 plus shipping, but are currently out of stock. The 575nm one is pure yellow while the 565nm one has some green in it. There are still no direct diodes in yellow available to us, so these are the only new ones. I have one in my signature that cost me a total of $60.00.

Welcome back Bw...

Welcome back - We've seen a few members come back lately who have been absent for years.

Welcome back, Blackwolf! :yh:
Take a look through DTR's store, and you'll see quite a few new diodes and wavelengths, and all of them will be saying "buy me".

@Alaskan, yep, it's been a busy week regarding returning members, I think we've had 4 come back, if you include Marco Polo who comes and go's

I have reached out to several MIA's by PM as well as a +12KBAM to their rep-- those get attention.
PMing absent members takes very little time and I have gotten nice replies-- some want to come back or have.. some still need time away from LPF-

I like to think it has evolved lately and became more friendly.. more fun- learning new stuff all the time.


best wishes (GO CROATIA)

wow cool labbys, also thank you guys <3

Why is the rep so big

Past drama in the forum and neg repping abuse miffed off a fairly new member who started giving out reps to everyone he could to raise all boats, it worked, took two years of giving out ten reps a day, every day, but with everyone having more reps to give out and others who began to do the same thing, now we are megga rep land. We are just having fun with it now, trying to max the system out.

its nice to have returning member on the hobby,wish our community was bigger,at least we are not drawing much attention to the hobby that way :shhh:

Welcome back Blackwolf. Same as deadshadow, it's nice to members return. :beer:

As a suggestion, start off with lower powered lasers (<50mW, <100mW) before you move
up to the big guns.

Pradipta's reply:
yeah sure, i'll do that


except for starting with low powered lasers


hahaha ^^^^ I bet that is what 90% 'think' when we advise them to start low power.. HE just had the stones to post it. (hope he passed on 1W of BOBLaser-)

what was your first thread/posts?

my intro happened months after joining.

welcome back Blackwolf.
