I ordered a 50mw 650nm "new wish" style red laser pointer from Gadget town last Wednesday evening. Four business days later (with the free shipping) it arrived. I'm very happy with this laser, especially given that it was only $16.99. It is easily as bright as my old Pulsar that I bought years...

1x 3.7v 10440 AAA powered. Pot modded to about 60mw (this is the older module with the bigger crystal) 1. Saw off the front of the Leadlight tube down to the back side of where the original button sat. 2. Tap new hole 44mm back from the new front end 90 degrees from the clip 3. Use needle...

The red is my dead PHR-803T reborn as an LG22x burner. The BluRay is TheMonk's 1AA creation. The green is the Nova X105 Fog brought to you by a big block of dry ice from the Omaha Steaks order that arrived today. Hooray for lasers! Hooray for steaks frozen with dry ice! And let's bring...

Ok, I finally got around to measuring how much current I was feeding the PHR-803T diode at the time of death: 195ma Reason: The Dr. Lava driver I was using, I thought was the low-range 32-150ma driver. Well, it wasn't. I measured it under load (using dead bluray diode) up and beyond 400ma. So...

Hi all, I have a multimeter, but it only reads DC current up to 200ma. Not much of a help with my new build where I'm hoping to run an LG open can at ~400ma. Can someone recommend a meter that will read up to 500ma, but not cost too much (hoping for less than $50)? Thank you! :)

Hi, A few people requested to see the insides if my 1xCR123A PHR-803T build. So here you go. Start with one Deal Extreme MTE 6watt 2-mode 1xCR123A Cree flashlight, or something similar. Unscrew the bezel, remove the glass, and reflector. Unscrew and remove the Cree star from the aluminum base...

Ok, you've seen the PHR-803T build I did in the DX MTE 6watt cree flashlight housing. Well it was running solid with no heat build up at 100ma. So I cranked it to 125ma and it's running cool and the power is awesome. BUT I burnt my arm while setting up a photo! I was noticing a stinging coming...

Inspired by the 1AA Blu-ray I purchased from TheMonk. This is my first attempt at building my own laser. I used a PHR-803T from the Geeks.com HD-DVD drive mounted in an Aixis housing, a Dr. Lava Flexdrive set at 95ma. Running on one RCR123A battery. The host is a DX 6watt Luxeon I bought last...

I recently purchased a DIY Blu-Ray from Ebay. I don't know who makes these as I've never seen anything similar here on the LPF boards. I have wanted a Blu-Ray for a while, but don't have the time to make one and wanted something that ran off of standard batteries. This is powered by 1 AA Sanyo...

Where does 405nm Blu-ray light fall in the UV spectrum as far as danger levels? We spend a large part of our lives avoiding UV light with sunscreen and sunglasses. Now we're willfully shining UV light, in concentrated form all around us at close range. Do we have to worry about UV damage to our...

Beat up, as-is XBOX 360 Blu-ray drives. I bet you anything that the diodes still work just fine. And if they don't, no real money lost anyways. Has anyone else delt with this vendor or bought damaged Blu-ray drives to salvage the diode?? I hope this turns out to be an affordable blu-ray source...

I haven't seen anything about these lasershop.co.uk pointers yet. Is anyone familiar with the product or company? It's the first blu-ray pointer aside from the Sonar I've seen that looks professionally made. Website...

I have nothing but great things to say about this laser. However SenKat has pretty much said everything I would have, so instead of boring you.......here's my first vid! Lighting incense in a unique way ;) This was done with 1.2v NiMh rechargeable batteries by the way. No need for lithium here...
