Sounds legit to me.

I didn't know the 532nm diodes were already available at 800 megawatts for just 40 bucks, I'll take it! :crackup:

Do you know if it produces any IR light? (check with a webcam or cell phone cam to see if any invisible light is coming out)

Re: 532nm keychains with star cap - Closed for this time I see, nevermind then on that. We'll wait until another of the black variety with the star cap is available :)

Re: 532nm keychains with star cap - Closed for this time I'll take the second one if it is available, let me know if that's alright and I can get the funds and alternate address directed to you. :D PS. do the silver ones also have star caps?

Best bet would be to try and contact someone like CNI I would think. If it can be made reasonably in a handheld they can probably do it.

You can calculate yourself how much it costs. Find your electric bill and look for the rate you pay in kW/hrs (usually it's a few cents) then multiply by your wattage and duration. If the kW/hr rate is 20 cents and you run a 700 watt smoke machine for 5 hours you have used 3500 watt hours or...

Re: 532nm keychains with star cap - Closed for this time Please put me down for one more 30 or 40mw (whatever is available) on a future batch, would like to purchase one on behalf of a friend sent to a different address. :)

This made me laugh quite hard, only thing better would have been if you pointed a projector out the window and spelled out "noob" or something in various colors :crackup:

Re: 532nm keychains with star cap - Closed for this time Posting and pm. :)

For one, it keeps this post off the radar. Google searches for 'c@$10 laser' spelled the normal way yield a high number of forum posts even from this forum. Let's not make it easier for them to find us plotting against them? :undecided: I think a forum wide auto-replace would not be a bad idea...

If it seems fine immediately after then you may just have gotten lucky (and learned a very harsh lesson on safety) and not gotten any permanent damage. It would be advised that you still go to an eye doctor as soon as possible just to have it looked at. Your brain can easily hide damage and make...

Then someone most likely lied to you about what OD those gogglers are :p OD+7 would reduce 1W down to 0.01mW, a tiny fraction of what a regular red pointer puts out and those are not uncomfortable to look at in the slightest. What you described sounds like OD+2 at best which would reduce 1000mW...

Getting a visible red beam even in the dangerously high power levels is very difficult, red light is both significantly less sensitive in our visual spectrum and far less effected by Rayleigh Scattering which helps make the lower wavelengths much more visible. A truly <5mW green pointer (ie...

Did you mean moot point T_J? Or are you just implying that you are ignoring it :na:

Just one suggestion to try and eliminate possibilities, use some primary cells (non rechargeable) for the AAA powered laser and check the battery voltage on the cells for the 200mW with a multi meter. Rechargeable AAA batteries (with the exception of alkaline manganese batteries) are rated for...

I have passed a laser directly over some dangerously powerful Neodymium Iron Boron magnets (another hobby :P) and try as I might wasn't able to get any effect out of them when observing the dot carefully at a considerable distance. I assume you would need to get into the laboratory grade super...

I really wish it wasn't as expensive.. 1$ per gram is pretty steep but this seems like it has a lot of potential. I think I'll wait to see what some other members here have to say before deciding. :) +1 for the awesome find though!

Subscribing to this thread, good job to you John. :)
