Possibly right. ive heard new batteries need to be conditioned like when you buy a new phone and the battery wont get to optimum capacity until after a few charges. Hopefully its that. Although I just bought an Olight S1R Turbo S torch and its not holding turbo S for more than 5 (instead of...

Just bought this new charger and have some new 18650 batteries. The intelligent charger has 0.5A and 1A modes and will automatically select the best charging rate so if you insert a smaller low cap an a high cap battery it will auto select 0.5 and you cant change it. But with high cap (3400)...

When you point a powerful beam at the sky why does it look like it ends after a few miles. Is it the eyes or some other known phenomena?

Is it the greater the power the wider the beam? What would aperture and the divergence be roughly. (being a noob I only have 2 lasers with one being the Arctic 3.5 with a 2x5mm aperture and a max 4.8 mRad divergence. (see Im starting to sound clever to myself now) Not to you lot though :D just...

I voted but its sort of a lie as I dont practice them anymore. Its been years since ive been at a club. But growing up watching Bruce Lee films from an irresponsible parenting young age ( saw them all before i was 8 years old) I now fear that my skills are SO dangerous that I actually scare...

:crackup: :beer:

Do you think its possibly over the spec. Any way to get rough idea without equipment in say comparing 0.5mW to 5mW ?

As I dont know what im talking about would love to see someone review it. That particular link comments section said they then lowered the price 50% but seems to be back up now. You can get on Ebay still and guessing the postage will be much less as they are all sold in the US. Ones I bought...

Novelty factor always bumps price up plus its made by Disney so hopefully will be half decent. It was a little cheaper on Ebay where I bough them. Two of them, one for sisters boyfriend as he has full size replica Light Saber. So we halved the postage too otherwise postage would have cost nearly...

Not sure. This thing takes 3 AG5 batteries. Tiny watch batteries so probably not even 1mw. It may not even be a real laser. Heres a link. Star Wars Darth Vader Lightsaber Laser Pointer | ThinkGeek Actually says Class 1 laser.:undecided:

I'll try first with that little light saber pointer thats on it way to me. Very low power. It says 0.04 - 0.39mw. But first to troll some cats and foxes with it. :D (not in their eyes of course)

Was just wondering about how the beam will react with the cube and what it will look like when shone into different parts of the cube and possibly safely taking some photos. But for now I dont even have a tripod to hold the laser still. (may look for one of the those cheap ones with the grabby...

Thats what I have. You upload a photo to them and they make a 3D version inside the cube.

Thanks. Its crystal. (or glass?) so the site said,I realise the problem with reflecting but just didnt want to damage the inside. The inside picture is indeed opaque where the etching has carved the picture. Seems like an interesting experiment. As long as it wont damage/burn/change the 3D...

So Ive got a crystal cube a bit smaller than a Rubiks cube Only it has a 3D "laser etching" of a pet (parrot) inside it. Im curious to know hat would happen if I shined a 1 watt laser into it and if it would it damage the etching. It sits on a small square LED base (not attached) with blue LEDS...

The price? Also did Wicked Lasers set the style for the design of these hosts or did they copy/improve from another laser?

Naa we'll roll over and give in like we always do. Unchallenged and more rights eroded. Used to it now. See if its too much fun and not either alcohol or prescription drugs cos we are all so depressed then they dont want it.

Agreed. Here's a little heads up for UK rules for anyone who's interested. The maximum mw to be legally bought and sold in UK is 1mw however most lasers on UK ebay and other places such as outdoor markets are obviously way over that limit. For now they are on ebay being sold as "powerful" or...

Mama,mama! Yes I'm out of my depth on this forum. Wow its technical. This 'The Simpsons' quote comes to mind. Lisa : So, dad, will you be teaching from a standardised text or using the more Socratic method? [Homer stares at her, confused]. Homer: Yes, Lisa. Daddy's a teacher.

Yeah thats what I meant when i said ring. I saw it. But wasnt sure it was a thing. I really feeling out of my depth on this forum. Its very highbrow. Cant really contribute much. Already been called a troll,im not fussed but feel like Ive walked into a science convention. Still i'll persevere...
