Re: SUPER PRICE DROP!!! FOR SALE! Blue skyray 445nm Lasers Thanks! The Blue Menace or the Skyray? The Skyray design is little sleaker, but doesn't have the raw power of the Blue Menace.

haha thats my cousin, patch. it appears we got our lenses from the same person.

Any idea where the optics came from?

Patch, you are right the halo isn't significant, but a clean beam is always desirable. Are you using one of my lasers?

When i use a 3 element lens with a 445nm diode, I get a halo. Is that something inherent in the combination of 3 element lens and a multi-mode diode?

Re: PRICE DROP!!! FOR SALE! Blue skyray 445nm Lasers :bumpit: new $20.00 price drop :) BLUE MENACE FOR SALE!!

Welcome to the forums Belch! Try a single mode diode if you want to get the least divergence for your power rating.

Re: NEW!! FOR SALE! Multiple 2W+ 445nm Blue Lasers Thanks, Bungy/Gismo. I appreciate the bump. I know these are significant investments for people and thats why I try and use the best parts I can find (mostly from DTR) and build them with precision and care.

well if it is protected by a driver circuit then you just need to give it the DC voltage and current it requires. you can't throw like 200V at it or something, but you know within reason. don't worry about your noobness. i am sort of a noob too. I am sure to the rest of the forum this looks...

Ok, that particular green module is very expensive. If you searched, i bet you can find one much cheaper. I wouldn't pay more than $10 or $20 max for a green drop in module with a power output in the 5-10 mw range. But i like the power range ... stick with that. As for the 3V power supply...

Hi Gun, It sounds like you are a beginner, right? I am kind of beginner myself. what is your budget? how about a lower power green (532nm) that way visibility and safety is maximized. I know my cousin, DTR, just got some green diodes in. I don't remember if he has the drivers attached in ones...

I was doing the job search thing last year and I would say you can put it on your resume. Hell, it will probably be summer by the time they get to looking at it haha.

yeah i don't know how that guy sees it either!!! i wouldn't fly that thing with out some sort of wings level autopilot or some sort of DIY inertial/gps reference system. Actually, with all the video game controller DIY inertial measurement stuff out there today that sort of thing is easier...

In my short time on this forum, I too have already become annoyed by opportunistic and unsolicited marketing attempts so i agree it is a problem..........buuuut to be fair, i do think LB serves a purpose in welcoming members to the forums. When i joined, i humbly admit that i found his partially...

in case anyone is interested, i am changing my forum handle from laserlight84 to ZeroLasers. Coldshadow should have it changed sometime soon. -Mike...formerly laserlight84

Yes, more sparks! I am tempted to get one too, but i am pretty sure i would somehow electrocute myself. haha

Jim, If the pins are broken off, it is not impossible to rescue the diode, but it takes some fancy soldering and epoxy. i have gotten the diode in the picture to work, but you have to be veeeerrry careful not to short it against the back of the diode. Then cover the back in epoxy to keep the...

Well, that is a little against the DIY spirit and somewhat incorrect. I actually have a sales thread on here that is constantly sold out.... But if you want to put in the elbow grease (which i respect being an engineer) and learn how to build these suckers yourself it is actually cheaper. it...

The following links were given to me when i first started.... http://laserpointerforums.com/f51/i-want-build-laser-thread-52972.html http://laserpointerforums.com/f67/how-laser-diode-drivers-work-explanatory-thread-71513.html...

Hey if you want to make one and don't mind a red LED flashlight then could put one of these in there. They take 13 amps, but i could only put 3 amps because that is the max of my cheap power supply. ... i think i have one floating around somewhere that i could actually give you if you paid for...
