    CLOSED! Now Distributing ROUND 2!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy!

    Re: CLOSED! Taking payments. ROUND 2!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! Thanks for the input, guys! I'll go with the LaserBee A and add data-logging to it with OpenLPM later down the road. I think it'd be a fun project to do.

    CLOSED! Now Distributing ROUND 2!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy!

    Re: CLOSED! Taking payments. ROUND 2!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! It's decided; I'm going to be purchasing an LPM with my next paycheck. I can't decide between the LaserBee A and the LaserBee USB, though. Does anyone here have any opinions or advice on these? I'd really like to have a...

    CLOSED! Now Distributing ROUND 2!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy!

    Re: CLOSED! Taking payments. ROUND 2!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! I ordered four EH ones (that's all they say on the label). I have pictures of them in my 405nm review thread (they might be a little blurry to see, though, and I can post some better ones if you'd like). I now have six...

    Re: CLOSED! Taking payments. ROUND 2!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! Every time I donate to LPF, it seems to take a day or two for the bar to update, so I'm sure it'll be on there tomorrow with the green bar extending off the page! My IMR 16340 batteries showed up yesterday. I can't...

    CLOSED! Now Distributing ROUND 2!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy!

    Re: ROUND 2!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! I did a few calculations and decided that I'm not going to add another laser to my order. I'm going to be saving up for a LaserBee LPM, though! I really want to know how all my lasers are performing, so it's high-time I got one.

    Holographic Laser Warning Decals!

    I'll be ordering some new decals soon, as the Skylasers groupbuy is almost over. Oh, amd those signs look awesome! I think I just might have to get one, too!

    PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please sub

    Re: PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please I don't know how good of a deal this is, but it's better than the $100 I've been seeing for large DPSS crystals: KTP KTIOPO4 New Laser Crystal Potassium Titanyl Phosphate Non Linear SHG ND YAG | eBay.

    Re: ROUND 2!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! I might make a last-minute change to my order (adding a laser), but I need to work out my finances really quick! It's closing so soon! I'm so excited that I can't wait!

    500mW 405nm HL405 from Skylaser [LaserBTB]

    I can't wait to see some tests on this! Will you guys be posting to this thread as well with LPM results? That'd be awesome for people coming along looking for information on these lasers (as I'm sure it'd get buried in the groupbuy thread). I could even add a list of recorded outputs by members...

    500mW 405nm HL405 from Skylaser [LaserBTB]

    Oh, they already come calibrated? Perfect! All the more reason to get one! This 405nm is currently my favorite laser hands down. I sit in awe every time I turn it on at night. The beam is just so beautiful!

    500mW 405nm HL405 from Skylaser [LaserBTB]

    This will be the first of my lasers to hit an LPM when I get one, and I've been thinking one should be my next laser-related purchase. The only reason I don't have one already is that they're quite expensive. I keep having to decide between a new laser or an LPM, and I keep picking the laser...

    500mW 405nm HL405 from Skylaser [LaserBTB]

    I finally got around to testing the draw. It came in at a steady 430mA at the tailcap. Most cheap (read UltraFire) batteries should be able to keep up with that much draw, but their performance and overall life will degrade faster. I haven't put anything but the IMRs in this laser, but I have...

    Re: ROUND 2!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! :na: I use IMRs. If you read the comments on my review, you would have noticed that someone asked for a draw test on the laser, and you would have seen that I didn't get around to that. However, I finally borrowed a multimeter and tested the...

    Re: ROUND 2!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! I just got my paycheck, and it was a lot smaller than I thought it would be. Apparently the new tax rates just went into affect, so I'm going to have to take the HL650 off of my order. Totally lame, right? Hopefully I can get it in the next...

    CLOSED! Now Distributing ROUND 2!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy!

    Re: ROUND 2!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! I bought the HL model, because I think it would be a hassle trying to carry around a PL when I want to use my laser. I really like the HL host, and in my opinion, I think it's more attractive than the PL. That's just what I think.

    Re: ROUND 2!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! Is it a single-mode OSRAM diode? Could you please send me a link? I can't find it (the whole site has been disorganized lately). Edit: I'm also really curious to know if these diodes are really 460nm.

    Re: ROUND 2!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! I would for sure get the HL460 if it exists. I've been wanting a lower-powered blue for the longest time now, and I just wasn't that impressed when I saw that it was being made as a pointer. Couldn't Kevin just make the same laser with the same...
