    Where'd the raffles go?

    I always thought raffles were a great idea but now it seems like they have disappeared off the forum... A monthly raffle could raise some money for the forum and offer a chance to win some expensive lasers most people couldn't afford. Having smaller 2nd and 3rd place prizes would also...

    8x in Aixiz module?

    Does anyone know of a place that sells harvested 8x bluray diodes that have been set into Aixiz modules, like this 405nm GGW-H20L 6x Blu Ray Diode in Aixiz Module +650nm LCC diode [GGW-H20L] - $56.82 : High Tech DealZ, Simplifying the LASER Hobby!, except with a BDR-SO3 diode in it? How much...

    Is building all that much cheaper?

    I was planning on building (my first!) bluray, a 6x in one of Jayrob's keychain hosts... mainly due to most saying that building is far cheaper than buying. Well, with the host costing $48 + GGW being around $50 and a $20 flexdrive, $5 battery / charger = $123 ... I'm also sure I missed...

    Favorite Hosts!

    Didn't see an active thread concerning this so I figured I might open a new one. Post your favorite hosts (with pics of course!) so everyone can see! This can be based on looks, functionability (or however you say it) or a good mix of both. Thought it might be a good idea so anyone looking to...

    Links not working?

    Every so often I stumble onto a link that appears to have the url of a thread here in LPF but it just sends me to the LPF homepage ... is there a reason for that or is it just me?

    Size of newstyle dilda?

    It isn't listed on either o-like's or dealextreme's sites. Any new - style dilda owners want to measure it for me? Width of the focusing head also the total length would be nice.

    The blind leading the blind...

    I was on youtube looking at some laser videos (i was bored:p) and I realized how amusing the comments section could be. For example, some inquiring person asks if this laser outputs IR ... Answered by "this thing doesn't need an ir filter its more uv than ir and ir is hot and uv is cold...

    Why gas lasers?

    I'm sorry if this has been answered before (I couldnt find it :yabbem:) or if this is a noob-ish question, but why gas lasers? I see low output (5 mW-30mW) gas lasers running up to 10-20x the price of their diode counterparts, not to mention the size needed for cooling / tube vs. a small...

    Exactly how much brighter is a green than a red?

    I've seen quite a few different answers, from 4 to 40 times brighter than a red laser. Not looking for a specific number, but something to give me a rough estimate on how bright my 200 mW dilda will appear... like a 5mw green? 20?

    Question for Dilda owners!

    How often do you use goggles while burning, and which pair of goggles (link? :D) ? A: Every time! Eyesight > all B: Most of the time C: Sometimes D: ..what goggles?

    Do magnifying glasses really work?

    Received my 50 mW greenie from Rayfoss today! :D Managed to pop a balloon, smoke some dark stuff, but I decided to experiment some more. I grabbed my handy compass/whistle/mini magnifying glass contraption and was sad to see that it did not increase its burning capabilities, but worsened it...

    Rayfoss shipping?

    I ordered and payed for a 50 mW laser 5 days ago on the 9th, and they responded back saying that they will ship it out to me in 24 hours and send me a tracking number. They have yet to give me any response... is this normal for them to take this long to ship it out? Is there any chance they...

    Final choice!

    www.rayfoss.com About to order the above laser, just wanted to post this to see if anyone has had any experience with it (no reviews in the review section). I've also heard many problems with customs (I live in the U.S.) and are there any tips someone can give to me to help make sure my laser...

    Dangerous or am I paranoid?

    I've been wanting to buy a more powerful green laser for quite a while now, sadly I had to wait due to o-like and rayfoss being down for a few weeks. Now that they are online I have my eye on the 100 mW focusable from rayfoss, and it looks like it fits my needs, nice beam at night, some...

    Cold laser = IR?

    In the early mornings when my green laser is cold to the touch it produces no green light at all... I dared not look into the laser so I brought out my cheap phone camera and recorded the place where there should have been a green dot. Luckily my phone camera doesn't have an IR filter so I could...

    Can goggles block green and IR?

    It's for a 50 mW green laser I recently bought from o-like so I'm not sure if it has an IR filter. Will the IR coming from it be dangerous or can I buy a regular pair of green - only safety glasses? If so then... Are there any cheap (<30$) safety glasses that can block both 532 nm and IR? If so...

    Are focusable lasers worth it?

    I was planning to buy a 50 mW focusable o-like green laser but I've been hearing on the forums that on cheap lasers the focusing ring won't actually make the dot smaller but can only make the dot larger. Will the o-like focusable laser actually decrease the dot size, or am I better off buying...

    Newbie in need of help!

    Hi everyone, I recently bought a 5 mW green laser pointer which impressed me to the point that I wanted to buy an even stronger laser. After looking around for a bit, I knew I wanted to find one that could at least smoke some black stuff but not be too dangerous and I came up with a focusable 50...
