I tried to use the search function in order to find all posts containing the word "o-like". However, what I get is "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms." which of course is completely wrong. Why? My hypothesis is that it happens because of the minus sign, for which the system...

odicforce.com (it has a direct form) o-like.com (you have to send them an email about your order and wait for the Paypal request)

Who doesn't? :D I have many of them: on my wardrobe, on my night table, even on my walls (those are kinda cool: you see a spot where the paint is missing and the white surface below is showing, surrounded by a thin black halo). I made the first laser mark on a wall that time I had swatted a...

It just happened to me, while I was trying to burn a hole through a cardboard box with the 445 I bought from OdicForce. When I switched the laser off, I saw little pieces of burnt cardboard glowing like embers, which I was used to see, so I thought nothing of it. After a few seconds, however...

I noticed that too. For that, I have to add, for example, "-ehow" if the results show too many hits from that site. But of course, it would be preferrable to have it block results once and forever, instead of repeating the exclusion for every search. For that, you need to enclose the term...

Thank you all for the replies. I know about IR diodes in general (and yes, "blinding faint red dot" is an accurate description of their output), I was just surprised about the existence of diodes that actually output 5W, also considering how this thread describes a 5W IR laser as a "piece of...

I've been browsing the O-Like website recently, and I found a page about what they claim to be a 5W 808nm laser. My first (emotional) reaction: "OMG 5W SO MUCH BURNING POWER!!!11ONE" (yeah, so I can get pretty emotional :D ) My second (rational) reaction: "Hold your horses, remember how the old...

May I ask why? Some months ago I was pretty pissed about the sluggishness of Chrome, and all suggestions about how to accelerate it were things I had already done. Then I googled "fast browsers" and found a site where it was said that Opera was a lot faster than Chrome, Firefox and IE. I thought...

You know you're a laser enthusiast if you smile when you hear this song because you can actually fire your laser.

I wonder: what is the expected lifetime for that bulb, when used in this project?

And if dragons existed, are you sure you wouldn't still find the universe boring? :rolleyes: I think that you would find it cool... until it dawns on you that you'd have to spend time learning to be a dragon trainer, then spend more time to train your dragon, and at that point you would wish...

Ugh. What batteries would you recommend? I'd rather not be any more specific than "EU". Maybe I'm being paranoid, and I know that someone with just a little knowledge of networking protocols can find out, but I'd rather not disclose any more personal information than necessary. It's been my...

Thank you. That would certainly fill the gap, but screwing the end cap on would still be not as easy as with shorter batteries. I always do that. I don't have a multimeter, but I watch the light of the charger every five minutes or so, and I never leave them to charge overnight. BTW, would...

Okay, here are some pics. First the box containing the laser, closed... ...and open: The laser itself, without batteries... ...and with batteries. Note the gap between the end cap and the body of the host, caused by the length of the batteries I got (protected batteries are longer than...

LOL at the picture :D Pics will come tomorrow at the earliest, because my camera doesn't have a flash, so, if I took them now, all you'd see would be black with the blue glow of the dot.

Last Tuesday I had placed an order to OdicForce, for the following: - 1 laser (445nm, 1000mW) - 2 TrustFire batteries (3.6V) - 1 TrustFire battery charger - 1 pair of Eagle Pair glasses The parcel arrived this morning: I'm really surprised how fast the shipment has been. The host of the laser...

Just one thing. I see that the 16340 batteries are available in 2 sizes (36 mm and 36.8 mm). They cost the same, the only difference being that the longer batteries have a circuit to protect them from overcharging and short circuiting. Which size did you buy?

I emailed them again after starting this thread, and I haven't received an answer yet. Maybe someone here will help me in what I wanted to ask: they sell this module which, they say, needs a current of 600mA. However, they don't sell any 600mA PSUs, just a 500mA PSU. Is it powerful enough to...

Three days ago (October 7, 2012) I sent them an email to ask them some questions about a laser module they sell. They haven't answered yet, so I need to know from whoever has already dealt with them: how long do they usually take to answer emails? And in case I decide to order something from...

Thank you so much for the links! I'm definitely gonna order from within the EU from now on: it should be faster than ordering from China, and no problems with customs either.
