I have to disagree about the red being visible, though... My red is about 250mW, and it is about the same brightness as my 5mW green laser, if not brighter. It may be the extreme humidity (many times averaging about 80%) where I live, but I can see the red beam pretty well. However, the 100mW...

ooo North houston?? :o I might live close enough to you just drive and pick stuff up lol!! I live in Kingwood, to be exact, which is right north east of houston. My sister lives right next to U of H. Are either of these anywhere close to you? your site looks like a good deal, though. About the...

Re: Is it normal to feel dizzy after using my glas Where did you get the red diode? cause wooooooolazer is right, you are probably under driving it significantly. Which means you could get ALOT more power out of it. Unless of course, you would rather keep it at a low power.

Re: FS: >90mW Blu-Rays, two models: OPEN And aren't the LM317 drivers huge in relation to how small yours are? Anyways, mine still hasn't come, but I'll be checking the mail everyday now! I am all the way down in Texas, though, so it might take a little time. I can't wait to see the beam on...

I've tried fitting a driver in there, it doesn't work very well. If I were you buy an MXDL flashlight and do that hack. I've done that one and it works beautifully!

I'm looking for some aixiz modules, empty or not. Also, if anybody has some 5 mW diodes they don't want, I could take them off your hands. I'm just looking for cheap supplies, so I'd rather not have any 5 mW reds pre-installed, as I'd have to pay for labor, too:P I'm in Texas. I don't really...

I think it is an LED, but it still emits infrared light. Infrared isn't limited to just laser diodes ::)

Re: FS: >90mW Blu-Rays, two models: OPEN lol I had to check what country you were in for a second! Mine said it arrived in New York on the 4th of July. So far, it hasn't made all the way down to Texas, yet :( I'm going to go check the little tracking thing now

Last update, as this is now a destroyed laser lol. APC is bent out of the way, and frequency doubling crystal is removed. I'm pretty sure just the IR is left, cause no light comes out anymore. And no I'm not stupid enough to look into it. The tube left is almost a PERFECT fit for a DIY...

Oh so that's what that little thing is on the side of the module... Is the IR filter even further inside? and I finally got the lens to turn. Except I'm not sure its going to focus very well... there seem to be many scratches lol. we'll see.

Today I got bored. I have another 5 mW green laser in the mail, so I thought I'd look at the insides of my Galileo-5. It started like this: skipping to the end first...this is what the tube looks like completely empty. Looks like it could be easy to mod. There's a battery stop any everything...

turned  6   on April 30th ********EDIT***************** that was supposed to be a 16

yeah, the red part just does that little "I'll smoke and burn a little, but not actually light" tease. I haven't tried burning paper yet, but I'll try that next.

If you were to make it yourself rather than buy it, would you need a ball mill to actually make decent quality powders?

Today I revived my old dead blu-ray box and slapped a PHR in it. It's at about 86mA, but I don't know the actual output because I don't have a LPM. However, I started trying to light a match. Try as I might, I couldn't get the red match head to light. Then I let the dot go on the white on the...

yay I was on at the time!! :D lol but I guess this means we are growing still? Also, how much is this forum worth? I was randomly on another forum that I haven't been to in about 2 years, and I saw somewhere that it was worth over $100,000!! I'm going to have to say, it's quite a bit bigger...

If you need a place for goggles, either check for a GB on this forum, or buy a pair of glasses from NOVAlasers. I have the NOVAlasers glasses and they work perfectly. I think the OD is 5+ for 190-449nm, and then 6+ for 450-532nm.

Re: FS: >90mW Blu-Rays, two models: OPEN All this talk of glasses, and I haven't heard anything of NOVA's glasses. I have a pair of their glasses and they work great for blu-rays! I'm not sure what their OD or VLT values are, but I'm pretty sure that on their website it says they are rated for...

mariomaster, just to clarify, did you do any downsizing on the heatsink before snapping it apart? When I tried that with my last 803T, my pliers kept slipping lol. I ended up just filing down the heatsink until it was thin enough to snap. so did you just snap it right after taking it out of the...

Isn't white light incoherent since it is actually red green and blue light combined? And although *if* that's true and it wasn't a "proper" laser, I'd still love to own a white laser! depending on price
