Alibaba has a handheld lasence yellow-green pointer for $90. I don't know enough about Alibaba to venture trusting them, as I've only ordered from them once, but I've seen the modules on here.
It appear they now have a handheld - video is also on the link. Looks very low power but definitely...

Fooling around with some old LOC reds and some of the $2.50 reds off Ebay. I didn't want to spend for a pricey driver. SO, here is the minimum AMC7135 driver. It will give 350ma on a 10440 AAA or any single cell rechargeable. It doesn't need heatsink and although the diode will get warm after a...
Back in 2014 there was a great host produced in a group buy. I bought 3 of them and a few others did also. I haven't seen one single laser from this host online. I also haven't seen any revisions or subsequent group buys.
They had a massive Copper heatsink and were designed for a single 18650...
Hope this doesn't violate any rules on here, but There is a thread over on PL with a number of items for sale.
They are a laser company (LIVE laser systems) in Austria that appears to have fallen on bad times and are selling some of their backroom products.
What caught my attention was the 594...

I'm looking for a driver that meets this spec. Preferably without going to a $20-25 Flexdrive on a $3 diode

Well this is Post 1000!
I am sure I hold the record on the SLOWEST time to reach 1000 posts. But that just means I have a longer attention span than most.
Since I don't remember a welcome section when I joined the forum, consider this my intro

Yesterday and today there were lots of news items in various lectures.
Three that may particularly appeal to some of the members on here.

This is going to be my third major Gas laser within a year and its a good one.
+4mw 612nm HeNe
At last years SELEM, I pick up a SP-127 from Mariomaster and brought it home, it's doing about 40mw and very happy. I run it about once a week or every other.
A few months later I was watching on...
OK, if you've seen the latest Big bang theory. At the very end they pop a ballon with a laser.
I'm thinking it's bogus the way it's presented.
They have a laser breadboard on a cart with a power supply, and two wires running to a head. Definitely looks like a HeNe.
It puts out a green beam...

I sent Kenom almost $300 for hosts a couple years ago which I have documented in notes on the paypal payment I sent that outlines EXACTLY how much and for what I was sending the money.
The Groove took a year to produce and I received it (Good enough)

11-9-11 I fractured my thumb in a hit and run accident. I've been out of work since and finally got back to work this past week.
As a result, I've spent some time to try and clean up some loose ends on various forums I'm on.
