    'Special' JETLASERS GB--now Closed

    Re: JETLASERS Pop-up quicky Group Buy Crazy Question ...but if I want a no goggles needed 462 but not in a cheapo pen host... A true 5mw 16340 - will the beam be visible at about 70% brightness of 532 green ? Also will it have an elliptical beam or a pretty nice 1.1 to 1.5mm ? Jet Lasers...

    Laserto and Hilasers 460 nm Lasers °○°○° ?

    Laserto and Hilasers... Both seem to sell 460nm Blues at 1 mw 5mw 20mw and 50mw. Unfortunately they are "Pen " Style Lasers. I asked Laserto if they will make a CR123 or Li- ion 16340 type Host with 460 nm. Is 460nm a big difference in brightness and Color from 450nm ? One Site says...

    Just ordered my first 473nm DPSS from Jetlasers

    You mention DPSS having sharper beam than Diode Lasers ? The Osram 515nm is specified as a tight beam ..at 5 milliwatts - Which is brighter 515nm Osram ? OR a DPSS 532nm with IR filter at 5mw? Company says not much difference except slight color difference ... What do you guys think ?

    4500mW Blue and 800mW Green at Bitlasers

    Can you make a TRUE 5 mw Blue in either 460nm 462nm 465nm in a Torch Style Host using 16340 etc. with power cerificate? 4.0- 5.5 mw ? Price ? Despite low and safe power in this Color it should have a nice beam ( focus lens will help IF beam is square - right ?) Almost as visible as Green...

    Direct Diode Lasers in Various Colors in 2 different Power Levels

    Thanks VERY much for this info ! All the damn Youtube Vids - not much info or demos of TRUE 5mw on axis and off axis. So maybe I should play it 'Safe' and get the 532nm which will almost certainly be visible in humid air AND get the 450 nm Blue which SHOULD be Invisible to ALL from more than...

    Direct Diode Lasers in Various Colors in 2 different Power Levels

    I am only guessing and reading but I can guess a big difference as you go up from 445 to 455 and there isva 462 nm Direct Diode . I think my favorite Color judging from Pics would be 473 472 488 and some Orange Yellows, - hopefully these will lower in price..and lase at 5 mw. Z Bolt...

    Direct Diode Lasers in Various Colors in 2 different Power Levels

    Z-Bolt 3-5 mW BLUE laserpointer? - Equipment - Cloudy Nights @Pman- yes I would really like to know about your high end CNI 520nm 5mw regarding beam visibility outside and inside in the dark. That is a Review of the Z Bolt Sapphire ...these are APC and glass lenses ..they say you can see...

    Direct Diode Lasers in Various Colors in 2 different Power Levels

    Here is the Blue 5 mw - notice they specify visible night beam - they refer to a Japanese InGaN Direct Diode...maybe Nichia ? http://shop.z-bolt.com/Sapphire-Galaxy--Extreme-Duty-Blue-Laser_p_301.html And the Green 515nm which is probably the Osram Diode. Notice they use an IR Filter even on a...

    488nm diodes price

    Doesn't Nichia have some ' Sky Blue 'Diodes ? 1) Are any of the 468 to 488 diodes inexpensive like $100 to $150 ? Will they lase at 5 milliwatts like the 515 ?

    5W 470nm S4X build

    That is a beautiful color ... Will that 470 Diode lase at low current like a 5 milliwatt ? And is the Diode less than $100. ?

    Direct Diode Lasers in Various Colors in 2 different Power Levels

    Yes that's the idea. I have been looking at these: Z-Bolt&#174 Sapphire Galaxy | Extreme Duty Blue Laser - True Blue 450nm Which I have a feeling are some of the best true 5mw Lasers in Blue and 515nm and 532nm. BUT for $98 to $ 150 there may be cheaper options with more Colors...

    Direct Diode Lasers in Various Colors in 2 different Power Levels

    Z Bolt Lasers have a Blue Diode with true less than 5 milliwatts various models glass lenses and some ruggedized 5 mw greens and blue which are waterproof and continuous duty etc. I am thinking of getting one or two for my first Laser. Green 515nm[ direct ] Green 532nm Blue 450nm [ direct ]...

    Recent News & Question About Aircraft Distance

    Well I always look at 'worst case' - so IF someone even makes a call...or a Pilot SEES a beam in the distance [ which will NOT happen with a true 5 mw - I get that ] and he reports it... Someone is in trouble. I also am within the 10 mile limit of an Airport - BUT the 'Safety Zone' which is...

    Recent News & Question About Aircraft Distance

    Horizon is more like 25 miles away....but I get your point. Also - accidently hitting an Aircraft is still a crime in most cases. The 10 mile safety zone around an Airport is for any laser with 5 microwatts per sq. centimeter but that is just in the air not striking the Aircraft with the Laser...

    Recent News & Question About Aircraft Distance

    That would be great ! Seems like the Astronomy Laser Reviews tend to support this BUT on all the Internet I find very few Scientist Types who have really tried this even on Astronomy Sites ... Described the off Axis and visibility etc.

    So, who does point at the sky? (or, what are your own rules? / The Rules of Lasing)

    So IF I was pointing at a Cloud a plane 5 miles away and off Axis could not see the Beam..?

    Calling BS on this one.

    NEVER work over a Pool of Lava with Lasers in use nearby ! NEVER use your Laser NEAR a person who is working on a Ladder above a Lava Pool !

    Recent News & Question About Aircraft Distance

    Yeah. I get you. I am thinking of getting my first Laser- only 5 milliwatts [ accurately tested ] but really concerned about Reports like this one. Wild guess- Pilot saw a Beam not pointed directly but Reported it. They got a read on the Source somehow and the Couple were in the approximate...

    So, who does point at the sky? (or, what are your own rules? / The Rules of Lasing)

    I am thinking of a few 5mw pointers in Blue Direct and 515nm and 532. Range is 2 miles on the Blue with a visible beam and 5 miles on the Greens with a visible beam...visible beams are not the full 2 and 5 miles I assume. But this company uses the same Lasers for the Military( same 5...
