Thats great news! I am happy for you! SN

Re: Is this the solution to cheap eye protection f I don't know about you and your concerns but, the safe way to view anything you are unsure about is to get out your digital camera and let it see things for you. I would gladly lose the camera over losing my eye(s). Just set the camera inside a...

Re: Dx Ultrafire sku.7886 Flashlight style green l I spun the aluminum parts and got everything to "seat" better in mine and it works fine. That said without the adjusting and fixing, mine was DOA too. If yours will not work by using the + and - on the pcb then it may have other issues. I...

Once a week, I don't see that any user has a need to add or subtract points to a single member any more often then that. SN EDIT* Maybe even once a month, I can see a user adding a + for help more then once a month (for different users),,, but no one will purchase separate items from a single...

Hmmm I would not trust those goggles after the lens has been heated in that fashion. The area you "melted" is most likely no longer within spec or capable of protecting you anymore. I am not sure they were doing a good job before then, but I would have trouble trusting them after any...

Skip the rest, Go for a nice scotch :) SN

Caligvla, I wish you the best and hope your sight improves on its own too. In time, many things heal or seem to improve. I hope that is the case for you as well :) My thoughts are with you. Good luck and may your higher power help you, SN

Thanks all for the help, It seems the anodizing is at fault, well actually the machine work on the parts added to convert it to a laser from where ever are poor, and not meeting up well. I have it close, but it will need some shop work tomorrow in the garage. Decent brightness, not well made...

Not sure on the 3.6v yet, will try one once I get working. The metal parts seem to work fine so far as I can tell, From the pics, does it look to you that the + goes straight to the diode and the - is filtered thru the components first? (negative lm317 maybe). Also can you tell where the spring...

Hi I bought this one: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.7886 Unassembled, the unit works with 3.0v on the marked + / - points on the board. The unit does not work when inside the assembly. I hope someone can spot a missing, cold or incorrect solder joint or path. Of course the unit...

Re: Ordered a different aixiz module. Wrong one? h The aixiz one i got had a plastic slotted lens. The merideth has a knurled metal ring to use for focus. SN

i didn't want to get into my scotch fetishes, but yeah it's hard to beat a nice cigar and a double shot of Glenlivet nadurra anyhow, thats a nice evening thing after a hard day of pretty much doing nothing :) not really a daytime drink SN

The poll does not have water, flavored waters or even wines. :( 1 water with a few drops of lime 2 bottle water (propel blackberry) 3 merlot 4 black russian (vodka / kahlua) 5 Mt Dew SN

Basically, Most vision impairments due to superbright light is of the sorts of an effect of seeing a fog or smear in vision later when in a dim lit room and viewing a tv or pc or other bright light. Generally in daylight and outdoor or good indoor lighting, the vision and focus ability is ok...

If I was buying a Green for minimal dollars, I would buy eyewear for the green / IR range. Sorry I just don't trust my eyes to discount or even well respected laser retailers. SN
