HAHA, well said. You forgot one thing though. That dim red light coming out is IR light. Just because you can barely see it doesn't mean it won't hurt your eyes. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH IT!!
I think there is a battery that will fit in there instead of the holder for the 3xAAA batteries. I'm not really sure what battery it is, i don't think its the 18650 battery. Someone who knows more will be able to tell you.
However, a cheap solution would be to just buy some good rechargeable AAA...
I agree with your first part. Ussually if a merchant goes through the trouble to accept credit cards directly, then they ussually do it through a secured third party.
Paypal is NOT a spin-off of eBay. eBay is an auction site, PayPal is a money transfer company (there's probably a better term but...
PayPal is way better than just giving anyone your credit card info. PayPal is trusted and insured. You giving out your credit card for lasers is not insured. Setup an account with PayPal, it's quick and easy. I rather use PayPal than my credit card on every site i buy stuff from.
I bought 2 of these BR pens about 3 weeks ago. They are my first 405nm lasers and I think they are very cool. But I'm not sure mine is up to spec with a lot of other peoples lasers on here. It is bright (cosidering what color it is). The main thing i see on here is people being able to see the...
The Ultimate Lithiums are some of the best disposable batteries. They last a long time and stay very powerful until they are completely dead. But, they are expensive, and you can't recharge them.
After lots of reading on these forums, I invested in a set of the Eneloops. I think this was the...
Nice. Let us know how it is when it arrives, I'm waiting to buy my first RayFoss laser soon.
Personally, I would have picked a different laser though. There are multiple lasers of the same power on rayfoss that look a lot better and look like they have better heat sinking.
Take a look at these...
I got the same laser. But when i take off the focusing lens, the diode is really crooked. i would take a pic but i got no camera. I would roughly estimate its tilted about 20 degrees. It still burns really well!! just wondering if i straighten it will it make it burn even better? how would i...
Re: O-Like Shipped my order just in time :D
I bought the 200mW red from O-Like. I bought some 1mW pointers from DX, and the 5mW greens from DX. DX has a lot of good stuff that isn't lasers that I buy from there.
Re: O-Like Shipped my order just in time :D
Well I spoke too soon. EVERYTHING arrived today. Even my 4th package that said it hadn't left Hong Kong yet.
The O-Like is not as I expected. But I will have to play with it more today.
Re: O-Like Shipped my order just in time :D
Okay, here are my postal updates:
All packages except my 4th (shipping through EMS) all arrived at my local postal center this morning at 5am. So hopefully, they got it all sorted and they will all be delivered today!!!
I find it very awkward that...
Re: O-Like Shipped my order just in time :D
But don't ever say anything rude or mean to any postal workers...........You will start losing random packages and recieve "opened" letters.
Re: O-Like Shipped my order just in time :D
No, 1Nick, the tracking number is for the PACKAGE. It is valid for whatever country it comes from and goes to. They are just really bad at updating it. Packages ussually come from HK to NY, but my tracking update said it came straight from Hong Kong...
Re: O-Like Shipped my order just in time :D
This is why you use the USPS web site to track it.
Just enter the same tracking number at USPS - Track & Confirm - Put our delivery information to work for you
Re: O-Like Shipped my order just in time :D
Okay, so i'm waiting on 4 packages from China and this is their current status:
Package 1: (DX) Left HK on Feb 7, arrived at my postal branch (but not my house) today (feb 19).
Package 2: (O-Like) Left HK on Feb 9, no more info.
Package 3: (DX) Left...
Like a lot of other cheap "5mW" Chinese pointers, these are overpowered. The comparison shots with the "True 5mW DX" is almost identical, and we know from testing that those "True 5mW" can be in the 20-30mW range. I also recommend it since he didn't say where he was from, and for those of us in...
