Attached photo. This is closest to what it really was like.

I actually had sold the laser to a friend a month or so ago (who knows safety and didn't mind the crooked beam). I've attached a photo of what it was like. Definitely was way noticeable, and to the point where it's hard to even aim at far away things. I don't normally throw peoples names around...

I have a SciFi 501B 520, using the PL520 (OSRAM?) diode. The output coming straight from the diode is very angled. With the lens the beam is of course crooked as well. It's bad...the laser otherwise is amazing quality. I own a SF 501B 1.6W 445. Perfect laser. Talked to a few people who both...

Mailed out your laser today buddy. PM'd you with the tracking #. I think the higher power 532's, bigger 808-diode (5.6mm?) have more noticeable warm up and brightness changes. Good divergence with the HL though. I love 532, but the warm-up just kills it for me. For 532 I'm sticking to my $11...

***SOLD ALREADY!*** I was expecting to be dealing with this sell for a long time, glad to pass on this "torch" ^_^

Looks like Agent McBaine will be getting it. Transaction not done yet though :) :beer:

Thanks buddy :beer: (<-- Sierra Nevada Pale Ale)

*** SOLD *** $100 - I am selling my Skylasers HL 532nm 300mW (NO IR FILTER). I am selling it since I'm looking to buy a 520nm laser. I bought it in early June 2015. It has about an hour of runtime total. It's a great laser but I'm going for something new now. :beer: On Sky's website this...

I wish you sold yours a few months ago! I just bought the EXACT same laser (HL 300mW) and thought I'd add my two cents: * High current draw (mine draws 1500mA). It goes through a good 16340 in about 20/30 minutes. It will NOT fit an 18350. * It takes time to "warm up". It will change...

Pman brought up good points. High power greens are everywhere and it's too easy to not know what you're doing with something not-so-safe. As for diode power, 532nm lasers actually use an infrared laser diode at 808nm which is mostly invisible light. It's converted through crystals to visible...

Mate, looks like we have more in common than I thought. :san: I have the Spartan 637nm 90mw. It's great...stable as a rock, thin beam, and bright. Divergence wasn't as good as I thought though...I thought it would be like a 650 but it's more spread out. Still great though. Can see the beam...

I just have to comment after buying a Skylasers 300mW 532. I've had a run with cheap 532s with my first greens and it wasn't so bad. I have a few $9 ~50mW pens from Laserpointerpro that held up great. They get dim after being on for 60 seconds though. But for quick "messing" around or...

Thanks for the help everyone. I bought the Skylasers HL 532 300mW. Review coming eventually. It's awesome. Beam is good and seems to stay in tight TEM00 mostly, but it's like TEM00 with some morphing smears around the central dot. You can tell by the changes in brightness (little flickers) and...

Thanks very much. Yup I had DTR's shop in mind from the start :D And yeah, photography is major money... Really 1 minute? I read the thread of the maker and the diode looked decently-sinked...hmm

I see what you mean. But a high-power laser with great visibility begs to be used IMO... My SciFi 445 1.6W gets used really often. Indoors mostly. I absolutely love shooting the beam across my room and admiring it. Rayleigh Scattering truly makes a science fiction dream come true. In the...

Your MINISABRE V2 is really nice...questions: 1. Confirm batteries not included? Have my own good 14500s and wouldn't want problems with Postal Service. 2. I understand the G lens used allows more power but sacrifices beam specs. Can I use a 3-element glass lens on this? Must be AR-coated? 3...

So my main question is for 532 pointers, when you move to a larger 808 pump diode, the beam is likely going to be more thicker and divergent? (Talking about pointers, not lab-quality lasers). :beer: Also for the Skylasers HL, can you substitute anything for that red wire-loop safety dongle...

Does the SKYLASERS HL and/or PL have the 5-second delay when pressing the power button?

500mW of 532 must be killer. The most I've seen is 240mW 520 which is still crazy bright. According to the calculator it's ~identical to a 200mW 532. Is that a Skylaser 520 in your photo? One thing I find strange: the Sky 300mW PL is $65.60 more than the HL. But for the 200mW, the PL is only...

Wow the Jetlaser hosts are really, really impressive... :evil: I still want to stick with something basic though and for a bit less money. I would look at their 445s if I didn't already own a SciFi 1.6W...I LOVE that thing. Yup I own a Spartan red and love it! Thanks again guys. :) My main...
