    Are reasonably priced 12x's really that hard to find?

    Well thanks, that sounds fair, and it's around what I paid for each of the two I've got on order. I'll be happy to take a look to see how his prices are when I'm back in the market looking for more... Actually I'm a bit intrigued by the BW-512 that Cenobite9 mentioned. I think I would try to...

    Are reasonably priced 12x's really that hard to find?

    Wow that is brutal power for a 405! It must burn like it's angry... I'm thinking I probably won't push my BDR-S06J's with anything that'll make more than 400mW....'course I'll up it if I don't fry it - or will I up it till I fry it? :thinking: cad602

    Ok , pretend i know nothing

    As a steamfitter myself the only uses right off the top I can think of are: mounted to a level or square, or used with a rotating mirror to mark a datum elevation, or a control line or a column line..problem is, any safety man I've run across would likely throw you off a job if you took...

    Ok , pretend i know nothing

    Nice choice, Olike took three weeks to get my 200mw laser to me(in MD USA), so don't be too worried when you can't get much out of the tracking info. Also, Maybe take hakzaw1's advice and get a cheapie especially if you plan to use it around animals or when you're without glasses because green...

    how many green lasers?

    Got 3 greens - love 'em....will get more eventually. ;) But, Even though I'm crazy about my 445, I am intrigued by 405 and I think I love it the most as a wavelength. After all that I still have a great respect for, and I'm odly satisfied with my 635 - 660nm module from DD. To me these things...

    Are reasonably priced 12x's really that hard to find?

    All my orders from China have been sucessful so far - three w/ dinodirect & one from Price angels...& one from olike...but the things I've heard recently about O-Like have me thinking I should wait and see if they will snap out of whatever "it" is that has happened to them before I place any...

    DIY glow board?

    Hey, I made a low budget glow board while on vacation as a way to help get the kids to happily go to bed at night... Home Depot has Pint sized cans for ~10$ - Well I can't remember the exact size but it wasn't large - had to be about a pint...still it was enough to put several coats on a...

    Are reasonably priced 12x's really that hard to find?

    I've got an order in with Glen for two of the BDR-S06J sleds and one of the LPC-826's, can't wait to get to work on 'em! now I'm on ebay looking for some aluminum! I think I might try to make a custom heatsink with my drill press - after I clean up the garage of course! ;) Thanks again for a...

    Focusable 200mW 405nm Burns Match + Money Detector Blue-Violet/Royal Purple Laser Pen

    If you're still thinking about getting this model, I'll chime in because I have this same laser pointer. With my LPM the unit tests between 55mW - 60mW output power. Anyway I got mine from Price Angels for about the same price as on DX. I wish I had saved a little longer and bought something...

    Are reasonably priced 12x's really that hard to find?

    Thanks Tech_Junkie, I've been reading that thread while on break here @work and I think I'm going to get a couple of those BDR-S06J's when I get home - breaks over :( - and I think those sleds have a red diode in there as well if I read another thread correctly. Even so I think I may also buy an...

    Are reasonably priced 12x's really that hard to find?

    Is there a decent source for buying 12x Blu Ray Diodes? I'm looking to buy a 405 nm diode for a home made host and/or buy something already made above 300mW. I'm done tinkering with PHR-803t's... I found a 10x Diode on Ebay for $51 - in a BDR-S06J Sled, but it's in China. There's a 12x diode...

    Nichia 445nm Diodes From A-140 Projectors - LOTS in Stock !

    Just in case you (and anyone else) is interested, I ended up buying a three pack from DTR on Ebay about 3hours before I found out he was sellling them on the forum at a discount that I missed out on, but it was still a decent deal considering what we're up against on Ebay. Check w/DTR? Good...

    532nm 200mw doesn't burn stuff... ?

    532nm 200mw doesn't burn stuff... ?

    Oh hi, I'm still new-ish to lasers - and recently I went on a spending / learning spree - and what I can tell you is that a powerful blue laser is easily constructed. It cost me about $80 to build. But I added a bunch of switches to control the different power levels & voltage sources... BUT...

    Never enough power

    Will do...I know on the 200mW one I said something about being on LPF & having an LPM but I wasn't really to the point about it. (that seems to be my lifelong issue). I think my ebay experience with the last seller I dealt with had me a bit shell shocked. - in fact there was an issue with pay...

    Never enough power

    This was giong to be sort of a review of my new 200mW Transformable 532nm laser from O-Like. But instead, it's a "I wish I had more power / the foresight to buy the bigger laser the first time" / (& I love O-Like thread). I love the thing, but it's only 179mW unfiltered and 130mW filtered...

    Anyone know this ebay scammer?

    Well, he didn't say that - But I'm pretty sure he mentioned leaving positive after I did...or maybe he didn't even say "positive" but simply "I'll leave you feedback after you leave it for me" - I know other sellers have said they will leave "positive for positive" in their descriptions. I...

    Anyone know this ebay scammer?

    Ok, I did it. I don't know why that felt so weird - I try to be nice and give people the benefit of the doubt - even at my advanced age - but every which way I replay the chain of events (all our conversations, his reassurances) I see he had no intent on giving me what I thought I was paying...
