    WTB from USA: 1W-1.5W 520-525 Diode + Driver

    I just used info@dtrslasershop.net a few days ago and he replied the next day. Did you try that one? I think the best thing would be to just straight up ask here for advice on what driver to use then just order that from dtr. I'd help if I could but I'm a laser noob.

    Probably not, but it might get you into the newspaper under the Dumbasses With Lasers section.

    Newbie get duped?

    I sent my gatling to GSS to be tested and told him the batteries go in positive toward the tail. He said it was unusual for a blue laser. I was just curious to see if yours was configured the same way.

    Does yours take batteries with positive toward the tailcap?

    Newbie get duped?

    If you go to this thread https://laserpointerforums.com/threads/ebay-laser-watchdog-group.101527/page-13 I posted a pic of my gatling laser burning wood. I mailed the laser to GSS today to test the output so we should know Monday or Tuesday at least what my unit does. The diode in yours might or...

    It's the sharp 405nm I got from DTR. The driver is set to 1A for ~1.5W according to DTR data.

    Newbie get duped?

    As far as getting duped on 30w yup. As far as a $40 laser it's not bad. I have one. I like it. If you like the gatling style host (I do) I'd say you were duped but not screwed. Just make sure you have the proper safety glasses and do yourself a huge favor by reading the safety thread on this...

    Sale thread/ Hosts/Heat Sinks/Focus adapters/lasers

    I wanted a pocketable laser that can burn and I can run for a good while. Rich had exactly what I wanted with his s2+ host with copper heatsink. I put a gh04w10a2gc in it and put a short tube on it that i already had to run on 1x18350 and ended up with exactly what I wanted. This thing is 4.75"...

    What is the required mW of a blue laser to burn dark colored paper?

    Just remember that retinas are easier to burn than paper. Get a good pair of safety glasses.

    Simple Question About 16340 Batteries

    I'll second that. in general steer clear of any batteries that have fire in the name other than Windyfire. You'll notice a difference in longevity with efest batteries compared to ultrafire. I mean between charges, not death by explosion, although thats possible with ultrafire. If you need a...

    Yeah that would be great. If you PM me your email and mailing adress I'll get it out to you today or tomorrow. I think you're probably right about 1.4w or thereabouts but you'll get to play with it and I think you'll agree that the build quality is actually pretty good. Its a shame they often...

    I'll tell you this much. My gatling laser is well over 1w. The threads are excellent. It is machined and assembled well. It comes threaded for a sanwu 3x BE. Mines has been working perfectly for 2 years. I don't know if every seller is using the same components, but for just under 40 bucks I...

    Not saying all of those things are created equal but a couple of years ago I bought a blue gatling off eBay for $38 without any accessories. It was my 1st laser besides keychain cat toys (which I would never tease an animal with). I don't have an lpm but that thing instantly burns dry wood...

    18650 powering 5W diode?

    I'll also recommend lifetime17. He does very good work at very reasonable prices. You won't be disappointed.

    I was going to wait to finish some other projects before putting this thing together and playing with it, but I couldn't resist. Sorry not the best pic. I'll try to get some better ones this weekend. Went with a nugm03 @ 1.8A in the aluminum/copper heatsink.

    What did LPF get for Christmas???

    Better pipe than cigs. I always liked cherry tobacco. Best of luck on your SSI.
