Hello. I have collected lasers for a couple years now but unfortunately I need to get rid of a couple of them before I move. I have had great experiences with both of these that I am selling and the will certainly not disappoint. I can only ship to within the continental united states...

Re: XPL discussion - "the miracle company" They really are great lasers, that's for sure. I just wish there was a way to focus this thing. I don't really understand fixed focus because the whole thing is junked if something gets misaligned

Re: XPL discussion - "the miracle company" I have already contacted XPL so maybe that's what I will do, there's gotta be some way to fix this but the diode is fine it's just the focus

Re: XPL discussion - "the miracle company" I don't have any of those and this site isn't letting me upload. Is there any way i can give you the info needed without pics, my camera really doesn't show anything even with the goggles in front

Re: XPL discussion - "the miracle company" Trying to upload pics but it's not working. The dot is just wide. I tried turning the end of the aperture with pliers but that didn't work. There's gotta be some way to get this thing back in focus. I never dropped it or anything. I was carrying...

Re: XPL discussion - "the miracle company" It's just an out of focus DPSS spot, my phone camera won't show much as the laser is too bright

Re: XPL discussion - "the miracle company" I had their 500mW 532 and all of a sudden it just got out of focus and since it isn't a focusable laser idk what to do. Is there any way to get it back in focus? It's a great laser so hopefully something can be done. Thanks!

These really are fantastic lasers for the price. My only real complaint would be the divergence on the 635. It is SUPER divergent even for a 635 which are bad to begin with. i wonder if there's a way to fix that

The 635 does have a very off center beam. But I can deal with it for up close burning or just looking at the super bright beam. My 532 sometimes hits TEM00 but for the most part remains in TEM02. I can get it to TEM00 for a minute or so but then it warms up and mode hops

I don't have an LPM. But I have bought both of these lasers and they certainly live up to power expectations. The 532 is insane. i will be posting reviews in the next few days once final exams are over (along with PL-E Pro 3.5W 465). The 635 red is a great burner up close, but the divergence...

I agree with Rivem on large-scale colonization not happening until interstellar travel is a possibility. I think we should be doing more research into FTL technology and less on terraforming planets. If you could travel faster than light, all of a sudden hundreds of potentially habitable...

Re: Interstellar Space Travel Mars one will never work, they will not be able to raise enough money using the methods they proposed (TV revenue mainly). But right now on the ISS they just installed the first inflatable module called BEAM. They are hoping it will stand up well to the...

Don't buy from gear best. I ordered 4 lasers from them and I can get way better stuff on eBay for the same price. Also one of the lasers' lens was permanently out of focus and the dot was so dim i couldn't even see it more than 2 yards away.
