I think this is a great idea. I have only repped people a few times since joining the site, but have been helped tremendously on numerous occasions. I think I will go back and rep several of those whose old posts I learned from even when I wasn't part of the discussion!

Welcome. Enjoy your new laser when it comes! Can't wait to see a picture!

What characteristics are most important to you? These two look pretty similar. I would try searching the forum for feedback on these two vendors as that is probably the main difference between the two lasers themselves.

I too would love tob see some pics of your work. I have some ideas in minD but to see what is possible would be great

Thanks! Does this seem more reasonable?

Yep, I feel like a doof because I KNEW that. Work fried my brain today. Anyways, it works, AND IT'S GLORIOUS!!! I want to point it from here to a nearby mountain, as well as across the frozen sea for some cool first pics. Do you think it is reasonably safe to take my goggles off outside...

I only took it apart down to that piece that says "lattice bright ver2.0." I sure hope that is supposed to come out though, because a piece just broke off after several attempts at reseating the laser assembly. UPDATE: I am strongly fighting the urge to delete this post as I am a bit...

UPDATE- SOLVED: I am strongly fighting the urge to delete this post as I am a bit embarrassed. But I am only leaving it in the event someone else makes the same mistake. I just got a new laser kit. It is a 4 mode 445nm 3-3.5W with a copper heat sink. It came with both 1 and 3 element lenses...

That is awesome info. Thank you! Based on some recommendations from around the forum I ended up getting some KeepPower Panasonic protected 3400mah's from Illumn. Hopefully they do the job.

Thanks man! I've got no problem paying for quality. But not if more than half the value is in the label.

Numerous people around the forum, most recently Pi R Squared I believe, have stressed the importance of buying the best batteries you can afford. I was about to order these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...A38GBW24HDG5AI because of all the fancy charts and statistics, but in the top...

Hmm... Where to start...A variety of lasers in a variety of powers and wavelengths will burn flash paper. Black paper or a black dot on the paper will make it much easier. The lighter the paper, the more powerful your laser will need to be. Full disclosure: I knew nothing about burning flash...

Hey RA I wasn't here when you left but welcome back! Awesome photos thanks for sharing. Take flaminpyro's advice and head back out to the desert with one of those lasers and that Sony!! :)

Welcome man. I know how you feel. I am very excited for my new 3.5W 445 kit to arrive so I can become a child again. I plan to take some "across the frozen sea" pics to so I am hoping they turn out ok. For love of the beam.
