    Laser build question

    Hello! It's been a while! I'm looking to build a new laser since my ex wife took my old lasers and gave them to the police. The police didn't do anything, just took them, because I never left them with batteries in them because of the kids. But anyway! On to my question! I'm looking to rebuild...

    Just bought the new Wicked Lasers Evo

    To be fair, you could probably shine your laser at china from Australia... Or chuck a stone and hit it lol it's a the other side of the world from the UK and US ;)

    445nm power output question...

    Awesome :) all ordered :D

    445nm power output question...

    Clear as crystal! :D I'll get four Efest IMR 18350 3.7v and a nitecore intellicharge i4 v2... Would you recommend the charger? (Getting four batteries so I can charge two and use two)

    445nm power output question...

    Okay, so just to be sure... ONE 18650 is the same as TWO 16340s? Same power output/input into the driver and everything? Meaning One 18650 at 3.7v will have the same power as two 16340s?

    445nm power output question...

    Okay cool, but if I get one 18650 IMR, will that only input 3.7v? What is the smaller version of the 18650 that you can fit two of in a C6 will this input 7.4v? Or am I being daft... lol I don't really understand series and parallel...

    445nm power output question...

    Hi everyone, as you might have seen, I've just bought and built my first laser, now I want to build another one for my friend who was infatuated by my laser, the bug is spreading rapidly haha Being a very competitive friend, he wants one that is bigger, better and more powerful than mine in...

    My first ever build with geeky photos! :D

    Yes, I did have some trouble with the white balance, but after a while on manual I got it figured out best I can, I had a really hard time focusing the match though! Still not as good as would have hoped, I was running out of time because the laser was starting to smell hot haha my favourite...

    My first ever laser build! :D

    Hi, thanks! :) It's a Canon EOS 450D using a fixed 50mm f1.8 lens :) You'll pick up that setup for about £200-£250 these days. Ben

    My first ever build with geeky photos! :D

    Hi everyone, only just joined LPF having only just built my first laser! It's a C6 SL host with copper heatsink, 1.25a driver, M140 445nm diode and a 3 element glass lens :) enjoy the photos! :) Ben

    Hi everyone, only just joined LPF having only just built my first laser! It's a C6 SL host with copper heatsink, 1.25a driver, M140 445nm diode and a 3 element glass lens, I'm running it on two 3v Energizer photo lithium (non-rechargeable) 123a batteries at the moment as I'm waiting for my...

    Hello from England!

    I got the 16340 (smaller one) they are the RCR123A batteries...

    Hello from England!

    Wow... Okay, they look deadly tbh... I think I might return them as soon as they arrive and get some IMR cells. Thanks for the advice! Ben

    Hello from England!

    Haha good :) yeah I got everything from Survival bar the Diode, I got that from DTR. I have the little brass ring too! :D So to short the wires to everything, do I just touch the positive to the negative on the diode and same again on the driver? I've also been told to never touch the wires...

    Hello from England!

    Hi! I'm using a C6 cree, a an M140 445nm diode (I think 445nm is right... Blue anyway) a 1.25a driver from Survival laser and a copper heatsink. ...and I am! I'm in the Air Force, not a pilot within the RAF but I am learning to fly :)

    Hello from England!

    Hi everyone! I'm fairly new to lasers and just started collecting parts to build my first 1W 1.25a driven blue (still new to the 'nm' wavelengths) laser :) If anyone has any advice for me it would be appreciated :D Ben
