:gj: HD seems to be a good source for hosts these days:)

Sorry, I meant just for the three SF-AW210, can't use the 3.6mm's:) If you're interested, please PM me and we'll talk details and price.

Would you be able to beat this price (link) shipped to USA?

Very lucky, considering how good the fit is. OD=1", I bought 5 of these from Mohrenberg, then it was a matter of checking every flashlight everywhere I went - spent a lot of time at Target, for example...:)

Someone smart please comment on the following statement: there is no such thing as an anti-photon. My reasoning is that anti-matter produces light that is indistinguishable from light produced by regular matter. Here is another way of saying this: if some very far away star made out of...

Thanx Jander! I liked your PHR build you did in this host. The ring doesn't stay on anymore. I had to use a button from a diff red flashlight, and it's a little smaller diameter, so the ring falls off:)

Just did a red build in one of those magnetic HomeDepot hosts. They're perfect for a 1" dia heatsink.

I took pictures side-by-side with my 1st LOC build, also using a glass Aixiz 650 lens. I bought 2 more, and the new ones seem to have more spill. I can make out the shape of the inside of the diode with the 2 pins and the hump in between. Does this mean the back of the new lens is not coated...

Thanks for the rep! Glad you liked the Red build:)

You're screwed, I think zombies use IDE.:)

Glad you liked my laser build, and thank you for the rep+:)

HOST: HomeDepot flashlight (2-pack for $5, so $2.5) HEATSINK: Mohrenberg ($5) LENS: Aixiz 650nm coated glass ($6) DIODE: LOC ($10) DRIVER: LD1117 (70c), two 3 Ohm resistors (20c) I: 415mA (priceless) BATT: 2x10440 in series ($5) MODULE: Aixiz ($2.5) The HD 2-pack flashlights come in red and...

Sigh, I'm screwed: it's a pipe I made out of HomeDepot's brass fittings...

Possibly...:whistle: WRT String Theory: isn't it a great satisfaction to think that the basic building block of the Universe is a vibration of a string? Like a song. Sounds very similar The Silmarillion's creation story.

That is because the Universe is the brain of a creature, we might as well call it "God".

Excellent thread, Sir! Do you have a LOC to try?

I can only look at my DIY LOC dot from the incident side. I noticed quickly that on the reflected side there is an extremely bright speckle pattern, even from matte surfaces. I would never point a laser in a manner that would get it reflected toward anyone, or any-cat. There is also speckle...

Re: FS: Laser-starter kit - 405nm/532nm/650nm keychain + Laserpowermeter I will take the LPM. PM me with details please.

Thanx everyone for their positive comments! I'm glad you liked this little build:) spokanedavid, I'm new to many laser things... By scanner are you talking about a 3D laser scanner for making models? I should look into that, sounds like an actual useful thing to do with these lasers:) Oh...

I can still solder the OP-amp by hand. That ADC chip would require me to learn a new way of soldering:) P.S. Is thta Half Dome in your avatar? Seeing must have been great at Yosemite. BTW, what is the 3181253 number for your Solar system location?:thinking:
