    It's been 9 years + saik 305 help

    Hey everyone! I joined back in 2012, got acquainted with laser safety, and gained a wealth of knowledge thanks to a ton of LPF members. Well, a lot has happened since then. Life happened. 🍺 Anyway I wanted to check back and ask the community, how much has changed in the portable laser scene...

    G-15 xlt

    I was recently reading this article on Wikianswers about the Ray-Ban G-15 XLT lens. It specified that this lens blocked 85% of visible light, with only 15% being transmitted. This translates to an embarrassingly low OD1 rating yet I couldn't help but notice their claim that the lens provides...

Being a new member as well, I had quite the number...

    The PHL state of the laser address (SOLA)

    Geographically we're closer to WL than the US but that doesn't mean we're already saturated with 'em. Only recently (2011) has there been a bill passed making laser distraction a punishable offense. Which I find quite odd. Why only last year? The sale of handheld lasers are highly unregulated...

    Newcomer says hello

    Hi everyone, I joined up here on LPF after the following happened over a two-month period: 1. Friend demos me his laser 2. Tells me about his other friend who has one that can burn 3. I get curious 4. Get myself one of those generic <5mW greenies off Amazon. 5. Amused, but the curiosity got...
