I'm still wondering if anyone has tested this 1.1w 405nm diode. It's listed on ebay as GH04V01A2GC and also as GH04V01A2G, without the "C" on the end.

I have dozens of RC planes and Heli's. When I set them up, I connect a wattmeter between the batt and the setup, to see how many amps/volts I'm pulling, so I can run the right amp draw batt in the aircraft. Can I use the wattmeter between the batt and driver, to adj the amps?? Or, do I need to...

I'm looking to strap a laser to the top of my level, to help set up a iron fence. It runs over uneven/hilly ground, for about 65 feet. It looks like green is the best color for outdoors. My question is trying to keep the dot as small as possible at 65 feet. I'm looking at 20mw to 100mw in...

Well it looked like it was coming stright at us for a few seconds, with a extreamly bright light beaming at us, but then it just seemed to resume its course and speed, like nothing ever happened. The first laser I pointed at it was only 5mw, but when I pointed it out with a high powered T6 LED...

Thanks AJ Dual for; What you saw was an "Iridium Flare". That's about what I told my Wife to calm her down. I said maybe it was a steering rocket firing or reflection of some sort. But it was very bright! Most likley the brightness for a few seconds hid the fact that it was still on course...

I have several type of scopes and iron sights on some. Just looking for a quick point, aim and fire set-up. Butch

Isoleucine, thanks for the great explaination. The only time I would use it at night would be for self defence. Calif hunting is day time only. Would a 50mw green laser be bright enough in day light out to 100 yards?? During the day the deer usually hide in brushy areas and there hard to sneek...

I was camping a couple weeks ago, way out 20 miles from any town, 5000ft up near Cherry Lake, Ca. Our friends had already went to bed, so my Wife and I layed back and watched for shooting stars and satellite's. We had seen a couple of each and then I spotted a satellite moving right above us. I...

I don't know about green, because it may not be highly visable in the forest. I'd like something I can see clearly in day time, but something that won't burn the brushes if it gets too close. Also something I can leave on for a couple minutes to get the best shot. Thanks, Butch

Hi, I'm building a crossbow thats accurate out to 100yds or more and want to find a good laser for it. What color and power would you recommend?? Thanks, Butch
