Thank you, yes. Im a pilot and the laser would sit in the planes emergency gear bag for long periods of time without being removed to top up the charge. I was hoping for two CR123s in series but Gary from Survival laser mentioned the voltage would be too low, (2x3.0 vs 2x3.7)

sorry, I meant double triple AAAs, so, 6 x AAA batteries.

I dont care abaout rechargeable, I need the long shelflife. maybe a triple AAA instead of an 18650?

Is it possible to make a CR123 powered 500-600nm laser? I need the CR123 for its shelf life over rechargeables.

The point is it might be better than nothing. As youve mentioned, you cant out run, out swim nor out climb a bear, and where Im going I dont have any other options besides a sharp stick.

Thank you for the useful info. Looks like Id be interested in a 500mW green. Can you suggest a seller?

Not this can of worms again... There are already several threads about this exact question if you just used the search function... I really did try to search for it. Couldnt find any threads. What key words did you use?

Thanks, Not too concerned about getting sued. Id rather that than be dead...

Has anyone ever considered a laser for last ditch self defense against a bear? I cant fly on an airplane with bear spray, nor a pistol. I do alot of back woods overnight hiking. im thinking a laser could dazzle a bear giving me time to run away, especially if I drop a bag of tuna. Can anyone...

I know $550 (10% off for LPF), is a bit pricey but it really is the best of everything. Diode, host, lens, copper heat sink, charger, goggles... Oddly enough, the best reason was the Survival Laser company name on the receipt, it made it a tax write off for a pilot. It was the best way for me to...

Just got my new Survival Laser II, SE, 2200 mW of 445nm! I assume that's really bright. (have to assume since I never even put the batteries in until everyones got on their OD4 Eagle Pairs). Question is, is it safe for my iPhone to photograph the beam? I've read how the laser light is...

Excellent. Ty for the rep too. Ordered my 405 today, cant wait to try everything. I'll have to order a uranium marble too.
