Most likely they put a wrong sticker on it. They put wrong stickers in the envelope with the host I ordered. OTOH, you indeed might get a <100mW laser. How's the burning ability? These are good protected inexpensive batteries: DealExtreme: $5.08 Ultrafire 3.6V 880mAh LC 16340 Protected CR123A...

Nice! But not a kid's toy for sure, even if it looks like one.

Wow, looks like I saved myself time by ignoring this offer. But kudos to sparkfun anyways.

Merry says that protective goggles are free with their 100mW and more powerful lasers. She also mentioned previously that their 100mW and 200mW modules are IR-filtered and are used in their pens. So IR component shouldn't be a problem (at least if you buy a pen) and this offer makes perfect sense.

Duh!!

Indeed, this story is not only vague, it's significantly altered. So 2007Revolution actually got Star Wars right, as they are not quite about a sick brother and his hot sister :D

Yeah, I'd rather bought this pair (let alone a used car) than lost equivalent sum in stock market. At least they don't go down in price like stocks :) Too late now :banghead:

OMG! Definitely cool, but I can buy a decent used car for the price of this set.

I was looking for these too. There is a thread like this on LPF somewhere. But it pretty much confirms they are hard to find. When I was ordering from rayfoss, I noticed they sell them together with their blu-ray drivers, so I asked Faona for just springs and she included a few for free. So you...

Of course it will. 200mW green will burn very well up-close even unfocused, and this one is focusable. Don't forget to buy laser goggles though! They are a must if you want to burn things with your laser.

The diodes in your drives won't burn and you won't be able to see the beam/dot (as they emit IR light), so listen to Hallucynogenyc or just buy youself a dilda: New style 180~200mW red laser focusable£*>5~200mw Red laser pointer£*>Laser&lighting products£*>www.0-like.com

^^^ True. Also, a few days ago they did update description and pics for the modules. Hopefully they are doing the same thing for pens and their other lasers right now.

Pointing a laser at some remote object, say a few kilometers/couple miles away, and trying to get as small dot as possible while looking at it with binoculars works great for me.

I used mine when it was -20°C for several minutes continuously and it's fine. But it was room temperature initially. http://laserpointerforums.com/f48/fun-lasers-20-c-4-f-46283.html Given the fact how quickly you can warm up the laser with your hands, why risk?

Blu-ray will burn better/more things, especially as it is focusable too and just slightly less powerful. That makes sense if your country's customs aren't laser-friendly. Shipping batteries separately or buying them from another place is safer then. The downside is that you'll end up paying...

Well, waterproof FTW then :)

:crackup: :crackup: :crackup: Good point! He wants a burner, right? :D BTW, here is a decent pair of goggles for as cheap as it gets: Professional Anti Green Laser Glassess - Focalprice.com

Ha-ha :) Also, I remember reading that the waterproof one has inferior focusing mechanism.

Books are always better than screening in the same way original is always better than translation. Nobody can tell the story better than original author. For example, have you watched Desperation? It's a fantastic novel by Stephen King, but a terrible movie.

Oh, maybe I shouldn't have used mine outside when it was -4°F here :shhh:
