Evo Open-Source Handheld Green Laser Wicked Lasers | Smartport | Smartphone Control for Evo Laser Not sure what to make of this...

I think Coherent has been selling TW-level amplifiers for several years now: Coherent Inc. Hidra is a high energy, 10 Hz Ti:Sapphire amplifier.

I've never bought from OEM Laser Systems, but it seems it was a great company. This is definitively a major loss for the LPF community. :-(

This could be dangerous. What if the mosquito was right in between the laser aperture and someone's eyeball?

Another thing that came to mind: if Laserglow is really stopping shipments to the U.S. due to the customs seizures, then how will they handle repairs for U.S. citizens who have bought lasers before the restriction?

This is a black eye for all of us if true. :(

It's possible that the FDA is only targeting specific companies. For example, Laserglow claims every class IIIb or IV handheld laser that they recently shipped to the U.S. has been returned. But then again, they're an honest company that refuses to put fake labels on their packages.

I think the OP is asking about the shade of blue used in the RGB color model.

Note that the 600 mW figure is for pulsed operation. The CW output is rated at 300 mW.

Re: Free Surefire 6P giveaway!!! Ends soon. Damn, I'm too late. :( But congrats to the OP on getting third place and 2007Revolution on winning the flashlight. :D

It looks like Laserglow is on the FDA radar.

"Laser radiation - avoid eye or skin exposure to direct or scattered radiation." :crackup:

This would explain why Laserglow (which is based in Canada) stopped shipping class IIIb and IV lasers to the U.S. all of a sudden.

Great start. One thing you could consider is try to make the letter shorter while keeping the important points. Otherwise, the person reading the letter might go "TL;DR" and put it aside without putting much thought into it.

Another idea is to sell the portable lasers as separate components that can be easily put together. I know BitLasers does this.

One can only hope there's a lawyer among us that's willing to do pro bono work. P.S. I take it that Laserglow isn't the kind of company that would be willing to stick class IIIa labels onto IIIb products to get around the restrictions?

I did a search but couldn't find many mail forwarding services that are based outside the States. I suspect they're not in high demand. However, if anyone knows any such services, please consider adding them to this thread.

In light of some laser companies (such as Laserglow and DealExtreme) discontinuing U.S. deliveries, it seems the best solution (other than group buys organized by a non-U.S. member) is to use a mail forwarding service that's based outside the States. This will probably increase the cost...

Hmm, that's a good point. In that case, it might be better to use an existing mail forwarding service. Speaking of which, maybe someone could create a list of reputable reshipping services. The other thing I could think of is a group buy organized by someone outside the U.S.

Congratulations! Be sure to request access to the Veterans forum if you haven't done so already. :-)
