    Tiniest 365nm - 395nm simple setup

    Wait, I have NOT put ANY effort into the gofundme- it was just to familiarize myself with it. There are at least a dozen companies making claims about "brightest" and "longest lasting" backed by zero evidence. The ideal pigment size is 50nm, and it may very well be that there are only a handful...

    Tiniest 365nm - 395nm simple setup

    Great info! It's not as easy as taking apart a laser pointer and making sure the lens stays intact, is it?

    Tiniest 365nm - 395nm simple setup

    Wow, you guys blow me away with your knowledge. Never imagined it would scale that fast with wavelength. So 405nm should work fine, this is one of those mini crossbow novelties. I would like to add it and make glow ammo as well as an aiming point. They don't shoot more than 25 M so I am hoping...

    Tiniest 365nm - 395nm simple setup

    I can get pointers that work perfectly well on the auction site for $5. They usually measure pretty close to 5mw. I haven't ever taken apart a pointer so not sure if it's possible to just gut one and still get it to focus.

    Tiniest 365nm - 395nm simple setup

    Hi all, Anyone ever see a really small blue, purple, or (visible) uv pointer or anything with an easy switch? Project in the works to mount one on a mini crossbow that I'm making ultra gliw in the dark ammo for. Power is not an issue, just something that I can mount to serve as a combination...

    Best current laser to charge glow- and basic forum layout question

    It saves 5 minutes because it charges way faster than anything else. I AM on the hunt for a good blacklight to plug in- I ordered some T8 fluorescent bulbs and am going to compare to LED of similar wattage, but I think that the flourescent is going to win. Do we talk about fluorescents and LED's...

    Best current laser to charge glow- and basic forum layout question

    I understand where you are coming from.. I am a responsible adult that respects a understands most of the science and safety. The point of charging with a laser is the difference of being able to save 5 minutes per bead which adds up to hours and days even of what I am able to produce in my...

    Best current laser to charge glow- and basic forum layout question

    Is there any particular style to look for? I see many that look similar- the design with the black body and keys for example. I ordered a $5 blue laser and was not impressed, does not look to even be 5mW

    Best current laser to charge glow- and basic forum layout question

    Been a long time guys! Hope everyone is doing well. Last time I visited the forums green lasers were about $300. Just curious, does everyone see the front page of the forums as a stretched out column on the right hand side? Looked in account preferences and couldn't find a way to adjust. My...

    Has anyone used the 150mW green laser+ 6 LED device from Rayfoss?

    Apologies for not getting that review done... it's deer season where I live and I need to fill the freezer... our family only eats wild game, no store raised meat so I need to get a bunch in there while the gettins' good. On a related note, I've been carrying a low power green laser to mess with...

    Thank you Rayfoss and Forum Stickies!

    I can see it about 3-4 X as bright as my high quality 5mW I bought for about $200-300 10 years ago if that helps. It;s a very thin beam but I can't imagine you would even want anything much brighter, you could never look at the dot on a wall 10 or 20 feet away with this thing, even a decently...

    Has anyone used the 150mW green laser+ 6 LED device from Rayfoss?

    I'm sorry I will try and get a review done with pics! I can't tell the power but it pops baloons easy, came quick, and seems sturdy... runs on aa batteries, came with a kaleidoscope attachment, very cool and I have no reason to doubty them that they picked a 206mW one out for me... go for it. I...

    Documented injury from laser pointer

    Evening all, I am not bringing up this topic to be a troll or stir up a hornet's nest but I'm wondering if there have been any reliable posts here documenting bodily injury due to a laser. I did a search both here and on Google and the only thing I came up with was a banned member with a troll...

    Thank you Rayfoss and Forum Stickies!

    I tried to light a fuse with it but no dice... so perhaps it is a bit less than I thought. By painting clouds I guess you mean looking at the dot on them? I've heard rumors you can actually punch a hole in a low cloud with a powerful enough laser... I put the glasses on when looking at the dot...

    Has anyone used the 150mW green laser+ 6 LED device from Rayfoss?

    Mine is AWESOME... they claim it is 206mW hand picked for me... I believe it... they were honest and straightforward about everything else, it arrived in about a week, and they even threw in a few extras. Cool folks, great laser!

    Thank you Rayfoss and Forum Stickies!

    I found Rayfoss through the "Buying your first green laser pointer" sticky here and I have to say I am very impressed with what they sent!!! I got their 150mW LED/pointer combo shipped for about $65. They hand picked one they say is 206mW and I'm inclined to believe it, this is REALLY bright...

    Thanks for the links; great tip on the smoke alarms and air moving- I was planning on putting this outside so might have to rethink it now...

    Does such a thing exist?

    how about this thing? Amazon.com: 3-in-1 30mW Green Laser Pointer + Specialty Light Show: Electronics thanks for the search tips!

    Does such a thing exist?

    I don't know what to search for in the forums, so forgive me if this has been addressed. I'm looking for something that is prebuilt that does laser effects- preferably something in 3d that you can use with fog. I'm wondering what this is called and if there are prebuilt units that can be...
