Just thought I'd share that my blueray diode from the Dr. Lava group buy just died. I built the 7805 circuit that Rog was using and set mine to 37ma with DX RCR123 batts. It lasted for about 5 minutes before it died and man was it beautiful! I feel very sad right now as I had just finished the...

Here is my completed aluminum housing for my DIY GB red diode I just received from SenKat. It is standard aluminum tubing from Lowes and has standard plumbing fixtures for end cap and front aperture. It uses 2 CR2 lithium cells and also uses the standard DDL driver circuit found on the forum. I...

My son loves lasers just as mush as I do 8-) Sometimes I will let him play with the low powered pointers I have. I have taught him to be safe with the lasers though and he does very well. Here he is playing with a 5mW 635nm Atlasnova pointer and the fog machine. He loves the fog machine as much...

I tried to find some parts to make a housing for CR123a batteries and almost had it! No go though...for now. Here's what I got to offer right now... How about an aluminum housing for two 3 volt CR2s? If there is interest in this setup I will continue on with the build. Here is a picture of what...

Here is the attempt at a housing I've been promising to make for my new Axiz 635nm module I purchased. This is a first draft so it's not exactly the way I want it yet, but it works. It is made from copper plumbing parts from Lowes and one 6mW 635nm module from Aixiz. I snagged the micro switch...

Does anyone know if 2 CR123a or 2 CR2 batteries are similar in size to one AA? I was wondering if I could substitute 2 CR123a's or 2 CR2's for a single AA in one of the DX flashlights. That way I could build a regulation circuit for 7.2volts. I've compared several pictures from the DX website...

I knew to avoid the seller ZoneStealth on ebay so I didn't even look at his auction. I found this seller seling these 650nm goggles and made an offer of $35...

Here is my cobbled together attempt at a DIY DVD burner red. I think I half destroyed this thing getting it from the burner though. I dented the front of the diode but it still works. I had a 100ohm pot inthis circuit but the diode would barely lase so I took it out andjust have the 2 10 ohm...

Just ordered an Aixiz 635nm 10mW module. I want to work on a simple nice looking housing for it then do a review on the module. If I get something together that works well and looks decent I will post up a howto on it so others can follow. I expect it may take a week or so to get the module...

Ahhh...I'm such an idiot! I don't have my NOVA goggles yet, but I can't stand not playing with this thing! Last night I was popping some light colored baloons with sharpied "targets" on them and I caught one heck of a reflection right in my eyes! My blink response probably saved my eyes and the...

I have a thread over in the red lasers forum called "Another Wicked Lasers victum" (I can't post links yet.) discussing my dealings with Wicked Lasers. I should have posted that thread here, but I was new to the forum. So, I just wanted to add a place holder here for those new folks that may...

I wish I would have found this forum before being suckered into purchasing a wicked lasers pulsar 100. I read all of the info on their site and decided to invest money which I don't really have into something I thought was so cool I had to have one. This morning, excited about my purchase, I...
