Woohoo!!! Virtual Reality Will soon be ours... :drool: I thought from the video it was fake news at first, but Google has created a VR head mounted display out of.... wait for it..... cardboard! Better get a smartphone if u don't have one yet, cause that's all you need besides the cutout...

An Oclaro 700mW in me backyard. :eg: The dot is that bad, but the color is great with an aerosol can! No actual fire, just looks like it. The first pics with the Ultrapod II tripod remind me of War of the Worlds! I am loving this used Mastech Variable PSU. With the tripod it is...

Quick Specs: 9mm 445 w/ 3 element lens, 1.8 A X-boost Adjustable and more heatsinking than most S4's (can change driver output with screwdriver if front of host is removed.) Will be switching out diode, putting a 16x 405 in it soon. Pics Attached! ** EDIT Just inserted some for those too...

Hi All, I am not sure what's going on here, this was my first time doing this and I'd really appreciate your help! I hooked up a new adjustable x-boost last night. I didn't see the response I expected from turning the pot. It was either very little change, or none at all. It seems like it...

If I'm not mistaking these JUST came out. (edit- were just released in Nov, though I don't see any discussion about them yet here) Just thought a number of people might appreciate this excellent and side by side comparison (specs and curves)...

Hey everyone, Trying to determine if 2x18350 would be last long enough for my high power build. Anyone know how long these would last? Don't feel like u need to answer every detail here to be helpful. Using a Nichia NDB7875 9mm 445 that goes 2.5-3W. I'll be using the setting DTR...

Seems there is no availability at all. DTR and Flaminpyro have the 2.4 and other preset ones, but no one seems to have an Adj version, regular or mini size. PMed Lazeerer 2-3 days ago but have not heard back yet, perhaps it is the holidays. Not sure what the issue is but there has to be lost...

If a heatsink is custom, would it be better to just use just the front of 12x30mm module with some thermal paste (and not have the 12mm diameter hole go back the full 30mm, only a small hole for the wires). I'm thinking that the heat capacity of the larger sink (less drilled out) would be...

I see lot's of posts comparing different colored and powered lasers, but not much on those of the same color. I don't think that doubling power doubles subjective brightness. The human eye doesn't seem to work like that, a 1W laser is prob not twuice as bright as a 500mW. I wish someone had...

Want to be able to go from higher power to lower power, by changing from 2x18650's to just 1. using an X-Drive driver. Bad for the diode? driver? (it is within range but I don't know if their output is set based on the current # of batteries (voltage) or if it would or wouldn't work for some...

I have not had a rear clicky laser yet and it just seems like I'd want the side button all the time. I'm having a hard time imagining how I would handle such a laser. Do you mostly just turn it on and wave it around for a bit (that sounds dangerous but I don't mean wildly) then turn it off or...

Hey everyone, I have been researching obsessively but need some advice. I have 5 lasers now, (2x5mw and 3x50-150mW R, G, V). I want to build a 1.5-2+W 445nm laser. I absolutely love many of the rear clicky host designs, but I can't imagine not having a momentary side button. It seems like...

Glad to have found this little niche o'laser light. I have been reading rather obsessively for weeks... I am grateful for the free info and camaraderie or whatever it is that hobbyists share together. I'm a 34 yo U of A student and researcher in Tucson, AZ. (Anyone here? Would really like...
