    "flashlight" laser lens??

    mot of the information on lenses is geared towards making a tiny spot, for burning stuff, or making a cool laser beam at night... I have ben seeing "flashlight" lasers around... but they are expensive... I just thought it would be "neat" to have a little "flashlight" that had an adjustable...

    started the actual laser experiments... and small start...

    Since i want to build a IR illuminator for some distancen for use with a NV setup, i started small. VERY small and very slow. Initial results are very encouraging. Rather than go hoq wild and half cocked, i wanted to test waters in the shallows, and also, numerous well intentioned hints to start...

    Anyone else here into CB Radios?

    I do both, that is HAM and CB... i havent been into either for a while, but, i cycle around hobbies. When i get bored with long range shooting again, i'll take a break and do radio again. every area here in the states is different. We do have a sort or unofficial "net" going on 38-lower in my...

    Photobucket crapped the bed?

    someone turned me onto "photobucket" several years ago. They explained that sites that host pictures and serve them out like that? There's a tendency for a lot of peopel to slowly go to the "good site" (read: faster) then that site slows down, meaning another similar service is now "faster"...

    High power diode laser driver

    this sounds like the power supply conundrum in ham radio and CB. Most people are amazed at the cost of a half decent PS once the amperage gets above a certain level. I'm actually amazed units can be had for dozens of amps for lasers that are that hungry, at a reasonable price level. most...

    A Typical Day At LPF

    what did he get banned FOR? (it surely cant be this video, lol, its iconic) no, let me GUESS... he, uhm, turned his sarcastic humor agaist a member with more blinky stars than HE had, and it resulted in his demise? probably with video humor? or has everyone been forbidden to so much as dare...

I PMed him, i hope he responds. Rather waiting with baited breath on it. I merely need to make sure i get...

    Hunting NV laser 808-500mw

    MRnewbie? incoming pm! i need details on your build, sir. I am precisely in the same boat you are in, with a camera on a scope and needing better IR illumination at distance. I would appreciate any info you can give me, as you obviously have a working unit beyond my own specs i envisioned...

If you, for instance, all decided to only post...

    removing the lens...

    Wow, I thought it was just him personally. Glad i didnt make the "Conan the Grammarian" joke. Anyways, i found a post about it in the welcome or whatever section, didnt realize it was a forum wide thing. This is a first, I have never been to a forum that had a grammar clause. It doesnt matter to...

    Focusing Flashlight Beam?

    Apex ?!?! what you describe with the visible RED laser is exactly wht i want to do with an IR laser. Grrr! any chance you could PM me any details of what your using? will a generic laser pointer or module with "focus-adjustable" get me several degrees of "spread" like a 'scope degree field of...
