Re: 5mW 405nM $9 on eBay
Well my friend now has that laser so I decided not to mess around with it. Don't want to break it. But if any of you guys ever need to mess with the lens on yours and you know for sure it works then I'll try it out with his. Just ordered another one for myself...
Re: 5mW 405nM $9 on eBay
And none of yours had the horrible divergence that mine had? Just my luck.
Also, I forgot about the link. I just assumed that you searched 405nm laser on eBay because there are a bunch of sellers selling them. Sorry.
Re: 5mW 405nM $9 on eBay
You sure you're talking about the same ones? The beam was barely visible and they are only supposed to be 5mW. You obviously know more than I do about lasers but maybe... Idk :o Could you send me a link to the sellers eBay page? The one I got would have a 6 inch - 1...
Re: 5mW 405nM $9 on eBay
Yeah I don't know if it's not focused or what. I am going to order another one to compare. A guy I know had a Flip Ultra HD camera that costs like $150 at the store and I gave him 30 bucks and that laser for it. I still have the green one. Haha. Kinda shitty of me. But...
Re: 5mW 405nM $9 on eBay
Nope. I sent him an email yesterday asking if it was shipped yet and he never replied. The seller lived in LA and I am in San Diego though so it's only like a 2 hour drive, so shipping should be faster.
Re: 5mW 405nM $9 on eBay
Also, I just had a white shirt of mine that I shined it on from across the room and it seems like a much smaller dot when it's blue. So I'm guessing the purple color just bothers my eyes and that's why it seems so shitty to me. Sorry for the pictures being so big. I...
Re: 5mW 405nM $9 on eBay
I just got mine in the mail and the green one is nice but the 405nm does have horrible divergence (I think). When I look at it on the wall, it looks like a bunch of little dots. I'll take a picture. Maybe mine is messed up. Maybe there is a way to focus it better? It...
Also I heard that if you are exposed to the 445nm beam for a long time you could lose the ability to see green. So not just the dot is dangerous. I am guessing that using the correct safety glasses would prevent this. I am still a noob so I'm not 100% sure :whistle:
I don't know much about lasers, I am learning. but if any of you ever want to play some CoD MW2,Halo,GTA,shadowrun,Street fighter, dead or alive 4, blazblue or something then add me. Gamertag: SanDiego x TMAN
I have a couple of guns and I love them but I don't think I could kill someone with them. If someone did break into my house and had a gun or a knife and was trying to attack me then he's dead... But what if he doesn't have a weapon in his hand? Do you just assume he has one? I would probably...
Re: 5mW 405nM $9 on eBay
Yeah, I just wanted a weak one so that I could play with it.
And I read your DIY post, it still seems like chinese to me. Eventually I could figure it out but it would take a lot of reading. I have never even soldered before :yabbem: I need a friend that does that...
Re: 5mW 405nM $9 on eBay
Thanks. Probably gonna buy one now. I would like to know how cheaply it's made but at $10 it's hard to complain.
Update: Just bought that laser + a green 5mw laser from the same seller for $15, some combo deal. And he lives up in LA so it will probably only take a day...
Everyone says they could kill someone if they broke into their house.. But when the moment comes to pull the trigger, who knows. Using a laser to flash blind someone would need a lot less consideration than ending someones life. :undecided:
Yeah, I was saying that those would be the goggles I'd get for the S3 Arctic. But to be honest I would probably use the laser with the training lens and on the 10% power function 99% of the time.. That would make it what? 100mW I think. So ya I guess they would be overkill if my math is right...
