Kind of the same process here. :) (My two main problems with internet shopping is the customs limit of app. $14, and being at work/sea for 4 weeks at a time with no one to handle the mail.)

Making sense again T_J? That is not really the way to maintain your reputation as forum troll. :D +1

The modules in this store looks legit, and can provide a guideline* to what is possible. Techhood items - Get great deals on 532nm Green Laser, Laser Device Accessories items on eBay Stores! *Assorted web shops can likely get the modules with host at or below you retail price for just the module.

I assume you are talking about a green module. The standard size come in 5-200mW, the 200mW have a current of 750mA+. It will need a heatsink. There are places that can sell you both goggles and a holder/bracket that will serve as heatsink. Here are two kinds of holders for a 12mm module, and...

That host does not look able to fit more than the standard 5-200mW green module. If you want higher power you have to go to the next size in modules. The photos of measuring on the site vary between 48 and 117mW, so 70-some mW sounds reasonable, but is not really a bargain.

The boost circuit acts like a DC "transformer", as in turning low voltage high current, into higher voltage but lower current. A buck driver does the opposite. The tail cap current will be higher, you can expect it to be voltage difference*driver efficiency. The later is hard to predict.

Yes, there are some fantastic offers, actually too good to believe. 5mW 532nm Green Beam Laser Pointer Pen *Special Offer* - eBay (item 150584364788 end time Apr-28-11 16:07:19 PDT) Have you noticed the $4.28 shipping cost, Sherlock? (I really think you should find another hobby, this one...

Guess you are looking at the wrong hobby. Newest 5mW 5 mW 532nm Green Beam Laser Pointer Pen GIFT - eBay (item 220740699046 end time Apr-17-11 09:12:00 PDT) It looks like $5.49 for the cheapest, not including goggles.

It is a pretty pen, but it is 5mW only. The diode can't handle more power, even if the driver were accessible and adjustable. I you are eager to potmod something, you can buy a few of these. XX-850 50mw 532nm Green Laser Pointer (1*CR123A Battery) $13.99 Free Shipping They are pretty close to...

Yes, perhaps I should have put more emphasis on the uncertainty of green (and likely reed too) power levels. Particularly as an air-gun sight is almost certain to be pointed at some ones face. Don't air gun stores have laser sights? Perhaps they cost significantly more than $35, and may be...

You may want to find a UK member to act as middle man. I have not seen Morgan for a while, but he would be perfect for the job.

Re: New Fast Sled GB (inc. LPC-826) My LOC's have arrived. Nice packaging Glenn.

Epoxy glue tend to dissolve/soften around 70-90C, if it is some kind of locktite it can be cracked with the correct size screwdriver. (That is my experience from cheap greens and hosts.) The module is likely already focused to a nice beam. Using that lens "on the go" is just not practical...

DX got some. The red ones are not as visible as the green for the 5mw safety limit. The downside to green is greater sensibility, and uncertain powerlevel. (I have a $5 pen that gives 20mW instead of the advertised 5mW) $34.31 - Mystery JG-016 5mW Green Laser Sight with Gun Mount (1*CR2...

What do you call that accent? LOL-speak, SMS, or something like that? Anyway, it does not inspire confidence in anyone above 18.

Mine have arrived, as expected I had to reboot to windows as the software does not agree with Ubuntu. It is quite interesting to see how ones lasers measures up to specs, or not. (Some of them are in for brain surgery). +1 for a good product. :)

It is a great host. :) I have the 16340 version as flashlight, and two CR2 ones in the mail.

It looks like you are supposed to drill a 1'' dole in your hull, then fit the threaded rod through from the outside, fasten it with the dish from the inside, then tighten the bolts to keep the dish in place. It is then a bit unclear whether the head contain LED's as well as optics, or it is...

I thought these guys were US based? AixiZ

Same here. :crackup:
