Like may other members here, I couldn't resist buying a few of these cheap 405nm laser pointers off Ebay. Upon testing them, I was pleased to find they all output right around 50mW with a couple of Ni-MH AAA batteries.
That is enough to light a match with 405nm if focused to a fine point. The...
Been ill, but now I'm back.
Still Kage. Thanks to LPF for keeping my login all that time.
This forum definitely Rocks!
My old avatar and sig were lost in the transition, so they are different now.

After seeing the famous 20 balloon pop using a 300mW green laser, I just had to do this with a Bluray... It sure is hard to get the balloons to stay put though...

If my hallway were longer I could have done 20 ;).
I've been poking around the internet in my "spare time" looking for glow-in-the-dark materials for use with Bluray lasers. I tried some ceramic glo-tiles, but these have some serious drawbacks like being heavy and brittle, and they tend to react a bit slowly and the glow tends to bloom a lot...
I've been experimenting with some sunglasses using "Blue BlocK" lenses which appear to almost completely eliminate 405nm. They are widely available on ebay for less than 1/2 the cost of laser shades. 8-)
Has anyone else tried these and can verify this? According to the little graph printed on...
