My Spartan is underway and my batteries arrived today. I ordered the Tenergy LiFePO4 3.0v recharchables (which are recommended in another thread about the Spartan) I received two different types of batteries. Both are Tenergy LiFePO4 but 2 of them are 3.0v (silver with yellow) and the other 4...

Hi all, It's already a year ago since I visited LPF. But I was suprised to see the existence of the 445nm Handhelds (which is completely new for me) My first thought was... I must have one. First of all, a 1000mW handheld sounds very nice (especially for the relatively low price) And second...

Pilots want ban on laser guns | Radio Netherlands Worldwide To my surprise it seems that pointing a laser at an aircraft is not a crime in the Netherlands. It's only punishable by law if an accident happens. So now these pilots are aksing to make it a crime (just like in all other countries)...

For almost 2 year I want to have a high powered green portable laser (300mW+) but never had enough money for it. Because everytime I have the money I needed something else or something breaks down. Once again I have saved enough but this time my wife don't want me to buy it. She likes the...

Currently I'm on a 2week bootcamp in Germany studing for my Cisco CCIE security lab exam (which is scheduled on october 29 in Brussels) Days are very long (9:00 to 21:00) just 2 more days to go. But at least if I pass the exam I'll have more money to spend one lasers (and other stuff of course) :)

For quite a long time I have two items on my wishlist. First is the RPL-300 from Optotronics & second is a Canon lens for my digital camera.(24-105mm f4 L) Today sept 24 the RPL300 is 697 euros(changes every day) and this lens is 890 euros Lasers and photography are my two most expensive...

For my blue-ray laser I'm using the blue trustfire batteries from DX (14500 800mah 3.7V Li-ion) But then after charging it it didn't work anymore. It measured 4.18v with DMM then I tried a second battery which worked fine. After a few minutes I tried the first battery again and it worked so how...

Recently I purchased a small smoke machine to increase the effects of my laserpointers. And it indeed works very good, even my 1mw red now has a visible beam. But isn't this dense fog harmfull to the lasers (or other equipment)? I'm using the liquid which was sold with the smoke machine.

When playing with blu-ray after a while my vision gets a little blurry, this is after looking at the dot for a while at a distance 15ft. A few minutes later vision becomes normal again. Is this harmfull and what can cause this? Is it maybe the same what happens with welding, flash burn (which...

Here are some pics of my new blu-ray from IgorT and the DX200 red. However I realized that I left the UV filter on the camera so the beam looks dimmer and more like blue but in reality its violet and the brightness is the same as the DX200 I'll try to make more pics without the UV filter

Oh no my holiday is over (back to the crowded ant nest and traffic jams)  :'( :'( :'( We're leaving tomorrow morning. (at least we have another week @home before work starts) But I've got a package with a blu-ray from IgorT waiting when we got back.    :)

I'm using the dilda for a while now (except for the last two weeks cause I didn't took it with me) and it's burning very nice. I've read in the red lasers section that because of the fact its focusable it burns better than a 200mw green. So how many mw of green (unfocussed) do I need to get a...

Hi, On the 13th of Juli I've ordered the green surefire batteries(CR2 3V) for my dilda laser from DX. Soon after that it was backordered to the 22th, when is was the 22th they changed it to the 31th. Last week I received my charger, when it was finally the 31th the orders went into "packaging"...

Which one would you choose?

My goggles will probably arrive this week but I couldn't resist to test the burning capabilities of the red DX200. Of course I'm not using it with optics or on reflective objects without the goggles Only to burn non-reflective surfaces like matches. But after a while I get a little headache...

Hello, I'm from the Netherlands but I want to take some of my lasers with me on holiday to Sweden(by car), Does anyone know if laser(pointers) are legal in Sweden?

Hi, I've found this laser on a local website for 60euros ($94)  with the following specs: Capable of lighting matches, melting rubber, igniting fireworks Focusable beam 200mW 655nm 2CR2 batteries I think it might be a good deal but does anyone know this type of laser?

Hi there, I asked this questing one year ago but a lot of things seems to have changed so I'll have to ask this again. I'm looking to buy a green laser in a few months. Currently I own a X-85 from Nova (98mW  avg/102mW peak) But I like to have one which is significantly more powerfull and...

Just when I was just 1 month from the moment I could afford a 300mW (Herc/RPL), my digital SLR camera failed and seems to be beyond repair (and its out of warranty) :'( I absolutely need this camera so I must spend my saved money on a new one instead of the laser. I'm afraid I'll have to...

I've read somewhere about a handheld laser that was capable of lighting white matches but I can't find the article anymore. How much power do you actually need to light white tipped matches? Can you do this with 200mW or do you need a lot more to do this? (because if you can light white , then...
