I just thought something either got burned up, or it had messed the diode up. I could set it to infinity when I got it by screwing it in all the way.
Still new to this. Oh well. Learned something here.
Alright, sorry that took so long. Been out in town today.
First time I've taken the lens off.... it's rather odd looking without it. Lol.
That's without the lens, if you couldn't tell.
As for slightly adjusting it... that seems to correct it. Seems like the lens is too close, because as...
qumefox. I love this laser still. However, I've had an issue arise here as of yesterday.
Last night, I took the laser outside, as I often do. (pointing in the sky just mesmerizes me. Can't ever get enough of the beam! :P)
I noticed it was looking more like a flood light at a furter distance. So...
Well, after having mine for 2 days now, I can say I definitely love this. The host is definitely worth it, but on a whole it's not bad either. ;D
This has only so far been used outside (still afraid to use it inside. I did it one time and looked 180 away in the direction I shined it), and I...
Yeah, survival lasers was the first place checked, seeing that everyone recommends them for almost everything.
I'll go ahead and start the long ass process of putting money into my PayPal.
Mark me down for a 1W.
So my question still stands.
The cheapest I've found 2.0+ for, that are reliable, is around $50-90. If that's what has to be paid, so be it, but I'd rather shop around for some more cheap wad friendly pairs before I delve into buying something this powerful.
Well, I found from some reading that a lot of the cheaper ones aren't tested at all, and some actually let through just as much as if you weren't using them at all, which is why I was skeptical of the lower priced ones.
If you would trust the ones from O-like for YOUR eyes, I'll go ahead and...
So for this one, these batteries should be fine?
Also, where would I be able to find some OD 2+ glasses somewhere for UNDER $150?
I can't seem to find any, for a lower price at least. I'll poke around the forums here myself, but I may very well buy your 1W. However, if I can't procure some...
I have a few more questions ... (Going to order my first 445 this weekend)
As for duty cycles, how long do you think this is safe for? I don't want to get it and end up burning out the diode the first run.
PS: I personally think these hosts are by far more preferred than the standard...
