Superb build! I especially like the driver mounting solution, with the extended flat section as part of the module. It looks really neat and tidy. I also like the chunky threads, no chance of those wearing loose. If you would do custom jobs, I'd order one for sure. I'd love something like...

Yes, I'd done that, and did quite well for me! The thing is I've never done anything on this small a scale before, and the results show. I found the solder just wouldn't stick at all, and just grew larger. I thought about maybe laying a tiny piece of wire, like one of the strands inside a...

Sorry to go a little off topic here, but this thread seems the perfect opportunity to ask about a problem I had trying to set my first flexdrive. I'd love to know how you manage to solder these connections together as I've already killed one flexdrive I'd recently ordered and had to order a...

Just thought it'd be worth mentioning this. I was watching Dino Direct's 1W 445 handheld (see below) since their 50% offer announcement. 1000mW 447nm Waterproof Adjust Focus Blue Laser Pointer Pen (1 x 18650 Battery), Britain - DinoDirect.com I didn't take screen-shots, but I'm pretty sure I...

Looks real to me. It's a BBC production anyway, so very unlikely to be inaccurate. Presumably, you know how much energy is in 3m2 of sunlight, and how to calculate the increase at the focal length shown?

That would be really interesting. Now I've recovered from reeling at the prices, the issue of beam characteristics never occured to me, and if they are much better than the alternatives, then maybe they are reasonable value. Just noticed that they are continuous duty cycle too.

Re: Laserglow now offering a 445/447... At what cost though??!! Yes, just noticed. DJNY beat me by a few mins :)

Hi all. Just noticed that Laserglow have finally started to offer a 445/447 handheld, but to say I was a little surprised at the prices is an understatement. Their 1W+ unit is yours for a bargain price of... ... $1000! Now, I rate Laserglow as probably the best quality firm out there, and...

As I understand it, there are no specific laws relating to laser pointers or more specifically, portable/handheld lasers, and my point is that the lack of clarification is in itself "fuzzy"; to me at least. By fuzzy I mean not comprehensive, or entirely relevant to current reality from a...

Northwich? That's only about 15 mins drive from me. I'm in Nantwich just down the road.

Mine arrived without issue last September. WL packaged it discreetly, and I didn't even end up paying import taxes/duty/brokerage :) I've read that some people have had theirs held for a time before eventually being released, so you may be in luck. As far as the law here's concerned I don't...

Re: For Sale, 900mW 445 in unique host. That has to be the best looking build I've ever seen. The polished finishes of the different metals all contrasting each other works really well. As for the warranty, I think it demonstrates that the seller takes his work seriously, and understands...

Well, I bought a couple of the Solar force L2 hosts from them and they are seriously well made.

Yes. Well spotted. This is precisely the same host as Jayrob's "Solarforce L2P" kit. http://laserpointerforums.com/f64/fs-solarforce-l2p-kit-18650-host-massive-heatsink-53746.html The one the OP linked to even has the same "L2" part of the name. Furthermore, you can buy the same host from...

Yeah, maybe when you reach a certain power level a complex target like a person does just pop! I read somewhere that in laser metal cutting, there are methods that use enough power in a particular way that the material being cut is effectively stripped/removed of atoms rather than simply burned...

No offense, but I think the laws of physics modelled in that video game might not be entirely accurate, and therefore not the best basis on which to make your argument on. As for whether or not lasers have been used on people before, I read and saw a clip of an apparent laser hit from an...

Yeah, well this approach seems the one I'll take too as at least with this approach it seems to be using the driver to handle the negative input. I know what I just wrote will probably highlight my misunderstanding about circuits and this one in particular, but I understand that current flows...

Hi all. After checking out, I still can't completely get my head around the wiring methods for the flexdrive vs the microboost. I totally understand the microboost method where you can use the case pin wired to the driver -ve input to feed current into the driver from the diode case via the...

Re: Ehgemus 14650 Pen Host -- 780mW 445nm -- Great review. Amazing power and stability, and it looks great; nice and sleek. I'm waiting on one that's based exactly on your 1.8W black coated one, minus the coating, since reading your review of that, thanks :) Just wondered what driver you...

Be great to see that ^^^
