good idea. I think I'll do the same.

oh by the way. I just tried my WL goggles on again... I can see the beam with them on.

PPCTX its really good that you came here with the question regarding the goggles. Think of the countless Arctic owners who will just assume that the goggles are protecting their eyes when they really arent doing a darn thing at all. It's a shame that a Chinese company can pull this kind of...

PPCTX, OEM Laser Systems is a company. Yes, it referes to Original Equipment Manufacturer, but it is part of their company name. They are VERY well known for making spec, or better than their quoted spec, eye protection. Here is their site: OEM Laser Systems, Inc., Precision Laser Equipment...

Also, to the new owner of these. There is some serious speculation going around about the legitimacy of the OD 5+ claim on these goggles for 190-449nm. So please be careful!

Yeah I was thinking they must have done something more than just screw the two pieces together. Diode replacement is one of my concerns but I would ideally like to turn up the pot on the driver. With a few extra 445nm diodes laying around I would rather have a deteriorated diode life with more...

I am curious to see the guts of this thing. Has anyone been able to take one apart and peer into its innards? Try and try as hard as I can to unscrew the main body tube from the heatsinking tube, it doesnt budge. Should have suspected this from Wicked. They're hosts have always been seeminly...

All I can say is that my OEM Laser Systems goggles that are only OD 3+ for 395-540 block out FAR more 445nm light than the so called "OD 5+" goggles that came with my Arctic. They (the wicked goggles *EDIT) feel as if they are only OD 1+. You can actually tell the laser is blue still with...

my LG 22x burned out in about a 3 months at 430ma

You've already got 2 out of three of them taken care of if you are only looking for a hand held unit. Option A). Wicked Arctic Option B). Dragon Lasers (CNI) 445nm, they have a few models Option C). DIY

I have an Arctic on its way, yet to even be opened, that'd trade you for the iphone 4. It should be here tomorrow.

order placed. :) edit: Oops... I didnt notice round 2 had already been closed when I ordered. I suppose I've just been thrown into round three or is a refund in my foreseeable future?

I am unaware if this product has been found yet or not but I am guessing this prism pair is coated in something very similar to the 405nm AR coating that we all use on our 445nm builds. With some custom machining, I imagine these fairly small prisms could do some decent beam correcting, with...

Good thing this fight isnt pay-per-view!!! Cause I will most definitely be checking back on this one.

I purchased one on the 22nd, shipped out the 28th. The in stock numbers on the page never changed.

Corrective optics are a necessity for my next 445nm purchase

Any new results on this one Dave?

very cool! Great way to start the collection. Be careful! it gets more and more addictive :-D

Re: Aixiz laser module.... HELP push it out from the cap side with a TV antenna you've cut with a dremel disc. Use a vice to do so. It will come out undamaged.

Are you using 4 or 6 N4001's in your dummy load? Also, I've only been able to get my v5 up to about 830mA before it just wont push anymore. Any higher and the driver gets extremely warm just as in your case.
