Update: Installed and tested Jayrob 405-G-1 lens in the G2

Re: Arctic G2 Review Me too! ;)

On that reflection shot I used the Arctic goggles for the camera. I was wearing the Eagle Pair OD4's. Those were used for the ruler shot.

Update: Added photo metering reflection and internal lens pics.

Update: Added test of Galaxy lens cap

Here is a review of 4 different lenses in an Arctic G1. I will be testing: The original Arctic lens An Aixiz full thread glass lens (not 405/445 coated) An Aixiz half thread 405/445 lens A Jayrob 405-G-1 lens. All LPM tests were done with a full charged Tenergy 2600 battery: In order of mW: #1...

Thanks Benm, I'll give it a try. :beer:

Have you tried different batteries?

You need a narrow needle nose pliers to reach in and hold the lower part.

That's not right. Check out this spartan: zjaTWdoHSpU

This is getting expensive. I need a filtered 532 and a 808, neither one I have. :whistle: I assume then any power loss on a IR filtered 532 would just be the glass loss? If I use a 808 (IR), supposedly no mW would get through? How do I use 808 to test? The 445 and 405 put out no IR, so the...

Glad you finally got your Arctic. :rolleyes: If you haven't already, you should read both my reviews of the Arctics (shameless plug). Click on the links in my sig. There is info on how to focus the lens for more burning power and what to look for in your beam profile.

Cool, I cleaned out the epoxy on mine, but the lens bound up trying to screw it out.

Got it. :thanks:

The 405-G-1 name lens has nothing to do with the Arctic S3 models, G1 and G2, it's coincidental. Iit was originally intended for 405nm lasers and it just so happens it works fine on the 445nm ones. Is your Arctic a G2 with a Smart Switch? I could not get the lens out of mine without...

In the case of the Jayrob 405-G-1 lens, there is only one glass element, therefor more light gets through. The other lenses are 3 glass elements, less light gets through. Maybe the photons don't disappear, but measurable light certainly falls off depending on the thickness of the glass and/or...

I haven't measured it precisely. It's almost twice as wide as the stock lens. 405-G-1 Stock Aixiz regular glass lens A lens that tightens the beam will eat more mW. The regular glass Aixiz has great divergence, tighter than the stock lens, but it puts out under 600mW

You can get another 100mW+ if you put in a Jayrob 405-G-1 lens. http://laserpointerforums.com/f64/fs-405-g-1-glass-lens-mod-31-increase-vs-aixiz-22497.html Here's my G1 with the lens: The downside is the beam diverges more with the Jayrob lens. It's a trade off.

Just tried this experiment with an IR filter. yxLiJDsDsjk There is a 18% reduction (131mW) on a Arctic G2. Should I assume 18% non IR power loss at different frequencies (532nm)? I got 43mW out of a green pointer. With filter it measures 29mW. 18% = 7.74 round to 8mW for glass loss. That...
