Those 1500mW Violet on Ebay are not 1500. I bought one a couple of years ago. From memory they are about 200mW.

Each battery has it's own protection board. It only monitors the battery it's connected too. When any Cell drops below the protection level it will open circuit that battery and the load no longer sees any voltage. Protected batteries do work with cells in series.

Why do you think Protected batteries won't work in series ?

Any Focused light source with high intensity can damage your eyes. These are not technically a laser light beam. The output is from a Phosphor block. The Blue Laser is used to excite the Phosphor which the Phosphor then emits the light. I do own a W30. They are amazing torches. The Beam is...

Don't know if this helps but Laserlands Australia has 560's available. I bought my 565 and 575 from him when they were available. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/284305461808?hash=item4231ed1230:g:M9YAAOSwVOdgq5gM

I don't run the diodes directly from the bench supply. All my Lab Style lasers have the driver inbuilt. Then the Lab power supply is not critical. Just set the Lab Supply at whatever the Driver requires. IE, 3v, 6v, 12v etc. What amps are required for the Diode will be from the Diodes Data...

Actually our Laws are a lot better than most other countries. Only Pointers are limited to 1mw. Lab style lasers are not restricted. Also, If you are a member of an approved astronomy club you can have any power laser pointer you like. If you want to buy pointers from OS you need to fill in the...

Light Filters work the other way. They Pass the color that the filter is and block others. A Green filter only passes Green light.

The tube votage once ignited should be around 110-150 VDC depending on gas pressure. Be carefull when measuring though. The Ignitor voltage is around 15k so can easily blow your DMM up.

My working Argon had a miss-aligned front mirror. I had to make up a bracket that fitted over the front end of the tube and had 3 screws into it from the metal frame. By adjusting the screws I was able to slightly bend the front mirror mount and align the mirror. That got it working well. The...

If you keep in mind the highest output laser Diode is the Nubm44 which can do around 7.5 - 8 Watts that will give you an idea what's really going on. A 15 Watt Optical output will be at a 50% Duty cycle. The "PEAK" output is 15 Watts. But the average is still 7. 5 Watts. And a 20 Watt Optical...

The same thing is happening with IE11. The left half of the screen is quite often adds and the Thread Titles are on the righ half squashed up.

When I send money in another currency Paypal just bills my Credit card in that currency. Then my Bank does the exchange rate. Never seen Paypal do the exchange rate themselves. Never really had an issue with Paypal. They are very good at recoving money from dodgy sellers.

I wasnt following this thread anymore. I just noticed it. The link to the latest v1.5 is still working. But the Link to the full install version is not. https://laserpointerforums.com/threads/b-w-tech-spectrometer-473-module-setup-mods-info.101467/page-35#post-1529863 The stand alone exe file...

Fibe Optic communication links work in the Ghz range. That gives an idea what the diode itself is capable of.
