Hey guys I recently got an Arctic Spyder III. I was looking into buying the expanded lens kit... but it's close to $50 after shipping costs. Didn't think it was worth that much. So what I came up with was this idea: use effect lenses from other lasers I have, or could order, and then make an extension for those effects lens so they will fit on my arctic. The question is does anybody think the light from the arctic will reflect back into the diode and destroy it? Because i don't believe these types of effects lenses are designed for high power 445nm at ~1W. So do you guys think i'll be alright making custom effects lenses or... should i just suck it up and spend the $50 on the ones designed for the arctic from WL or Thinklasers?
I would try to use:
- a lens from binoculars (i did see this in another thread, but thought i'd mention it anyway)
For the other lenses:
