Just a heads up to anyone sending anything to Canada or ordering anything from Canada that our national postal system Canada Post has stopped all services and deliveries due to a labour dispute. No idea yet how long it might last. Might want to use a courier if you absolutely need your item by a...

Few pictures I took today of my wavelength rainbow: Lasers Used: Z-Bolt 5mW 635nm, 5mW 593.5nm from Techhood on eBay, TinkerTavern 10mW 561nm, LaserGlow Gold Lyra 5mW 532nm, Sanwu Pocket 488nm, Z-Bolt 5mW 450nm.

Happy Halloween! 🎃🦇🎃 Anyone got a cool costume for Halloween this year? :cool:

Was wondering what other hobbies as well as lasers the LPF membership is into. Think we had a thread like this a while back, but many members have come and gone since then, so time to do it again. :cool: If there are any hobby crossovers that are very common or popular, maybe we can add a...

I know there are other amateur astronomy enthusiast here too. I didn't know until today that apparently Orion Telescopes and Meade Instruments have closed down their operations and gone out of business. Orion's website is totally dead, Meade's seems to be still up for now. Apparently Orion laid...

Well this is the fightclub section after all! This thread is for any videos you find of real fights caught on tape. Maybe I just find this kind of thing funny to watch. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Just saw this build video on Youtube recommendations this morning. :cool: :cool::cool:

Woah, this rifle would be perfect for hunting mice, squirrels, and gophers. :ROFLMAO:

I got this LED anime lamp a year or so ago, it used a bunch of LEDs in the base that shone through a clear piece of plastic that has the character engraved on it so it is illuminated in their shape. A couple days ago the base part had a massive battery leak and was damaged. I took it apart to...

Looks like the Russian Army has opened up another front in Eastern Ukraine near the city of Kharkiv, either as a second attempt to capture the city or as a diversion to force Ukraine to move their forces away from the fronts in the Donbas region or the approach to Odessa. How do you think the...

Apparently this happened at a fireworks festival. Not sure why so many people had green lasers, or why they all thought this was a good idea, but when an airplane flew by the event a whole bunch of people thought it would be a good idea to shine their lasers at it. :mad...

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! :cool:

Some new pics of my collection which now features the 561nm pen from Tinkertavernco! :cool: As expected this colour doesn't photograph well, but I did do some comparison shots anyway. From left to right: 450nm, 488, 532, 561, 595.5, and 650. The camera does pick up some differences in the two...

I just ordered a 561nm pen from tinkertavernco's sale last week and was wondering if anyone else had tried this. Many digital cameras have trouble with certain wavelengths, often with lasers in the 405 and 540 - 580 part of the spectrum. Many pictures of them appear the wrong color and not at...

Saw this fleshlight at my local Canadian Tire store a few months ago. I didn't really need it, but after going past it a couple times while there for other things I eventually caved and bought one. After of course testing it out in the store by looking right into the aperture and activating the...

Was looking at some model railroad stuff on eBay the other day and I saw a train set called a "laser train", but very disappointingly, it had no real lasers on it whatsoever! So I decided to create a real laser train with my model monorail and the J Lasers 1.6W 450 and 700mW 520 lasers. :cool: I...

Lot's of interesting things going on around the world, so going to try this again with a slightly different approach. For discussion of all news, not just political, from local disasters to world wars (hopefully not lol). Let's just try to get to page 10 this time before this ends in a...

Happy 4th of July everyone! 🎆🎇🎆🎇

Some random pics I took today of my lasers. Used a little bit of fog, but not much was needed as we still have a lot of nasty smoke from the forest fires here in Canada. My rainbow: (left to right: 5mW 635 from Z Bolt, ~5mW 593.5 from Techhood on eBay, Laserglow 5mW 532nm Lyra, Sanwu Pocket...
