I'll see if i can PM you all the details.

It is not bought from romania, but a chinese site called dealextreme.com. I don't think the site even carries the laser anymore, but for me that's not such a problem, since i kinda dropped this project when i bought my 1 Watt blue. Still, I'm happy to see more of my own countrymen have a passion...

Thanks for the great feedback guys! Although I must apologize for taking so long to respond, the reason for that is that my mail server thought it would be a fun idea to move all incoming mails from LPF to my spam folder, so I've been a bit in-the-dark lately. EDIT 1: Also gave rep as promised...

A quick introduction. Remember guys, this is my very first review on this site, and no amount of reading other reviews can fully prevent mistakes on my part. Although please do point them out, as I'd love to have them corrected. Also, if you find my english flimsy in spots, that's because...

Oh, i thought i could just upload directly to LPF, but what you're saying makes sense. Thanks a lot.

I was thinking of writing a review of my new laser (the 1W Stick) but was immediatley stopped by the fact that i don't know how to post pictures directly into text. And I mean IN the text part, not at the botton of the page. Can someone please give me a quick rundown of how it's done?

Oh, sh*t, i've only just noticed you gave a link to the actual goggles you wanted to buy... Looking at them, they should go well with a laser of 445nM wavelength, since the goggles offer UV to Green protection, and the color blue (445nM wavelength) sits right inbetween the two in the visible...

Well, if you have not yet bought your actual 1.5 Watt beast, I suggest buying a set of goggles that come bundled with the laser of your choosing. This is obviously dependent on the site that you are buying from, but i dont think there is any site that sells ultra-powerful lasers without also...

It really depends on what you want to use it for. The focusable 50mW will have a neat visible beam and also be able to do some burning tricks (thanks to its focusing ability), while the 100mW laser will have a very impressive beam, but will give you a hard time trying to burn anything without a...

If you had to choose inbetween those two that you mentioned, i would go for Lazerer, since it is the more reputable of the two, at least on this site, since many many of the members here got their lasers from there. So much so that the owner of the company, a certain Max, has become eponimous...

Well, from the looks of it, you aren't giving us much to work with. Try to explain what you mean by "maxing out" and how you would do so, and also to what power would you want to bring the diode. From what i can tell though, and trust me when i say i'm NOT an expert, you seem to have found a...

Good for you, then. With these lesser-known companies, it's seemingly always a hit or miss, and it looks like you fell on the right side of the target.

As everyone already stated, they have really good marketing and brand awareness, and while the quality of their products can be sometimes considered questionable at best, i think that many of us owe a big "Thank You" to them for leading us here. And hey, even if you hate WL, at least you...

Well, that is kind of sad from some point of view, but i guess there's no going around it (cough cough not using paypal maybe). Well, thanks for the info, even if it was kinda grim.

DX is one of the big companies that put lasers on the market for small prices and questionable quality. Now, without judging the company for it's faults or successes, I noticed something very strange when i accessed their site a while back. All their lasers... Gone! I wasn't able to find a...

Hey guys, OP here, I just wanna say that after thinking this through for a long time, i've come to the conclusion that i will not use a 250 mw orange diode in place of the old one, and for a few reasons. Firstly, the price of the diode alone is greater than what I paid for the entire laser when...

I'd like to start out my reply by saying that I am terribly sorry for not responding for such a long, long time, but between the time of my midterm exams and going to an english language contest, i haven't had much time to spend on the computer, much less working on the laser. The idea is that...

Right, definetley gonna be doing that. I am honestly stunned by how well glued in the darn thing is. Aside from that, any off the shelf 200 mw red diode would do as a replacement, right? (for example the one i linked in a comment back thursday)

Well, I've just finished dissasembling the thing, and so far haven't encountered any problems: as far as the attached pictures go, picture number one shows the driver, still with some thermal paste stuck to it, and the other three depict the housing for the diode, which brings me to my next...

Bumping due to lack of responses.
