    my laser lost all power

    What were you powering it with before you got your charger? You might have fried it by letting the batteries run too low. 1.1W takes a lot of power to run.

    Hello LPF

    Welcome to the forum. You need around that power to see it outdoors under cloudy conditions. With the sun out it will still be hard to see. A focusable one is almost a necessity if you are going to do any burning. The higher the power the longer the range, and cheaper then a B/E mW for mW...

    Hello from Canada

    Welcome to the forum. I too, was surprised when I discovered this forum. Also a few other ones, (not nearly as good) dedicated to lasers. I had one of the first pointers to come out, cost me around $70 or so in '89? I soon became bored with it and put in in a drawer. It was only after going...

    Particular Requirements on IR Project

    I believe to do this trick, you would need an FDA variance for each show. You are going to need way more then 5mW and you are putting on a public performance. Look on Magic Tricks & Street Magic.Learn Card Magic Secrets - Magic Shop You might find a better (and less hassle-free way of doing...

    Bleeder resistor on DDL

    The only way I would do this is; the umbilical cord must be soldered on both ends. (non-removable) Pin connectors are to way too subject to momentary opens and continuity changes. Laser diodes are too sensitive to have anything except a well soldered connection. Also, the wires used in the...

    18650 Battery question.

    Most protected ones say so on the case, also they are a couple mm longer then a unprotected one. And I've seen protected ones be slightly larger in diameter also. They would not fit into the host, where a unprotected one would. (rare case, I'm sure)

    new guy here! Hello! Where can I find green lasers in the Philippines?

    Welcome to the forum. I agree with all the above statements. (regarding true 100mW for $20) You are going to have to pay at least $50 to get one that will last.

    Some pics.and a strange fog effect W/1W 445nm. (pic. heavy)

    It is possible the clouds were that low. Look in the first fog pic., the "Q-tip looks like it is only 15-20 feet above the house. I've shot thousands of beam shots and never seen that effect before. Nor have I seen the beam terminating in such a short distance from the laser. I am going to try...

    newbie from maryland-1*AAA greenie

    Do you know you need safety goggles for anything over 5mW,unless you use it only outside for starpointing. (look out for planes) 50mW can burn up your eyes 5X faster then you can blink! Look on FocalPrice for a cheap pair if money is short. Buy the best set you can afford. You can not replace...

    newbie from maryland-1*AAA greenie

    Welcome to the forum. Sorry to say this, but your laser is junk. If it lasts a week you will be lucky. Look in the BST section or Company Review section for dependable sellers. DinoDirect is not one of them If it does last a week, you will still want something a "little" stronger.:whistle...
