Well, i finally took it apart, and to my surprise it says on the housing that it is a 300mW laser. but it is diffused to produce a fat beam, which must lower down the amount of whatever that can get into the eye.. pretty interesting stuff these lasers are. Now too bad I thought I would try...

So now do you see my dilemma? When there is even any background light, and not to mention my scanners lights etc. you really can't see the laser at all.. I love the beam patterns of this laser, but maybe it is just a lost cause due to the fact that being it goes vertical, ,it is going to get...

Good to know.. Thanks. here is a video of the laser I want to upgrade, actually looks fairly bright in this video, but it HAS to be pitch black with fog in the room to be able to see it. I am however concerned that even 40mW might be too high as the beam would be impossible to prevent from...

I believe Canada follows the same or at least similar laws as the US. Here is a little info for you: To say that it is not legal to sell over 5mW lasers is oversimplifying the situation. I'll try to make this brief: What we are talking about is what is known as hazard class and for the moment...

thanks for the info.. I may get it just for house parties, and hopefully can get it before my halloween party in a couple weeks, but doubtful with customs if it is coming from China. I am going to get some pics tonight of what i do have so someone can hopefully help me source a good replacement...

OMG!!! I want that REKE so bad.... That I would need a variance for correct? I just don't want to end up getting in toruble, or worse yet causing harm to someone at a show. So assume I would need some training in order to even get a variance? Yes I am aware it is going to be a home use laser now.

Thanks for the info.. Yeah part of the reason I went with this exact laser is A. I had no idea the potential you can do by making your own, and B. I used it in a public setting and being it has passed the FDA bologna, no variance is needed for the lasers I have used. I will start doing some more...

I will take it back apart tonight and snap a couple pics. I am just worried about the cooling as it stays on constantly with no duty cycle

Sorry this is the best I can do until I get home. and I had no idea about them not being diodes, now just to google what dpss is haha. link to specs Chauvet Scorpion Lgx 10mW Green Laser Effect at Soundwave Direct

Oh and rep will be given to anyone with real advice and or links to where to get more info..thanks

Ok, so I searched the FAQ's of which just talk about the forum rules etc. Tried searching, but since i am such a newb to laser terminology I didn't know exactly what to search for, so in a last effort have resorted to posting this thread that I am sure has been discussed many times and I...

Total laser newbie here, but that is just amazing to me.. I think I may have found a new hobby

I just joined as well, and am from Minnesota. My intentions are slightly different, I want to learn how to repair/ upgrade my DJ laser. But before posting and asking how to, I am gonna give the FAQ's a read. and before anyone says anything, I do understand once I do anything to the laser, I can...
