I'm trying to shake off my ignorance, and have been enlightened somewhat by the members of this forum and I am so thankful that I've donated and will try to be a monthly donor. I have discovered that many people seem satisfied with O-Like's products and there are two that have caught my eye...

First off, editing posts should only be allowed by those who have a command of the subject matter, so I am imposing a ban on editing until I can better pay attention. Multi tasking is killing my communication skills. That's my storey and I'm sticking with it. I am over worked and occasionally...

Ack! I edited the post to also talk about the Olike laser and somehow I must have selected the text then started writting! my apologies, re editing now... Edit: I meant to ask, what does the seller mean by "analog" laser? How is it different from solid state? I own an old HeNe tube Laser, is...

Whoops: as I was saying, I was going to bid on this thing but it seems fishy...

I see a 200mw green that I'd like to get - it's $93. Edit: and there is a guy in New York who has a module "over 150mw" for $89.95.... it could theoretically be here by Saturday if I ordered now! The one from Chine might take 3-4 weeks! ugh...there's a laser see saw in my brain.... Link to...

I can only imagine! In fact I've done some comparrisons with my 220 mW red in the dark from the end of my driveway back to the house (120 paces) - the red is super cool but the Green is awesome. The test was safe, since I live in the woods in a sparcely populated community - 200yds from nearest...

Ahem... *cough* I was so proud, The Green Monster had just hit 80 mW...then instaaled a new IR filter on it, tested....and only got 50 mW out of it. SO that settles it! cad602

Thanks, funny thing...I was actually going to buy a green module from this seller. Now I will have to wait until I replenish the laser fund :). Another funny thing - and I hope this shows I'm evolving - for a while I wouldn't buy from China beccause I just didn't know how long it would take...

I've been tempted to buy the ones that claim "True " or "certified power" (some even invoking the name of the FDA) and they generally do cost a little more and are generally less powerful (makes sense now), but I found a 100mw for $36 that if accurate, might be a bargain... So now I have to...

Well! The 2.5Watt Laserbee arrived in the mail today and I now have a better understanding of Green vs. other colors. Well, that is, I'm developing an understanding. My curiosity led me to first test a 250mW module from Dino Direct ($31 shipped) that I am powering with (used) AA's at 4.5V...

I always appreciate a good suggestion, and I might just get one (or more) of those hosts for a future project, but I will still be collecting parts for a nice frankenstein model. :) I wish I still worked with high purity SS Piping or I'd probably be making hosts for sale! (I used to orbitally...

I like it! There's good info in there. I now have a general gameplan - and I'll be Headed to the Home despot and a "we have everything" hardware & plumbing supply store (& even radio shmack) right after work. cad602

With my recent (re)discovery of lasers and even more recent buying binge - I am constantly thinking of fun things to do with lasers and I think I found one. Building a water proof laser... Has anyone done this? What kind of sealants/glue/outer casing w/orings/etc were used? I just purchased...

Thanks guys!.. I figure I'm going to need to test considering where I bought the glasses from. To save money I bought Four pair from dino direct for ~$35... 2 pair green / blue protection and 2 pair protection from red. Dino D has been slow in the past, but last time I ordered they actually...

Mindful of the fact that I've pulled the steering mechanism off the discussion, and fueld by the jones I feel waiting for the LPM I ordered a couple of days ago to arrive from Canada, I have to ask an insane question. Is it a good idea to test any prtective glasses I buy with the lpm? In...

Going for the LaserBee now... & I likely will buy the out of stock Radiant model eventually I'm sure... Cheers,

Wait, which LPM is better, the usb one or the one on Radiants home page for $99.95? It looks like the Radiant one costs around $20 less. I am aware of the obvious difference (data logging and the need for your computer to be on vs. portability and immediate results), but lets assume that I...

I love this kind of peer pressure! Even if I'm prolly a ~little~ bit older (just a guess!).. When the wife goes to sleep tonight I'm going to order one! I can only do so much one can do while watching Phineas and Ferb...*cough* with the kids of course!

Somehow I seriously doubt it's only 50mw, especially since I've compared it to the output of an A140 @ > 1A and it is very nearly as bright as that. I see I'm going to need that LPM in a hurry to keep my bragging rights! :)

I've finally found some time, and I'm googling & reading up on LPM's while looking at some things I want to buy, typing this follow up/thank you letter - while watching tv and playing with an a140 and my latest host...For some reason one 9v battery just doesn't work as well as 6 1.5v AA's for...
