I ordered mine two weeks ago, got a notice today, that DX has refunded my paypal account.
I was reading a sheet at work on these also, it stated about Federal offense to even possess a laser greater than 5 mw in the USA unless a lab, or some other place that had proof of need etc...... almost...
I ordered my 95 mw green laser with DragonLasers on a sunday afternoon on the net, and by the next fri, 6 days later it was on my doorstep. The packing slip showed it as a fountain pen from China LOL
I popped in the batteries and have been extremely happy with it ever since.
It's super...
That sounds great pseudonomen137, I don't mind waiting 2-4 months at all....... no hurray anyway, and will be better after the Christmas spending...... let me know when it happens, and what you can get.....
Any ideas what company sells a good quality 200+ mw range green....... for around $350 or less.
I have a 95 mw but something with at least double the power would be awesome.....
Re: Home Made red laser that will burn - for sale
Thanks Kenom
Great Job! I ordered and got my two diy red lasers from you, and all I can say is Super! Both are just as we decided, a burner and a super burner. I will definitely order from you anytime your selling something of interest to me...
Id love to get some but around here they can get you into a lot of trouble - Local fire marshal says if I lit one and sent it up, I had better monitor it damn close, if it fell or failed and landed in the dry woods, Id be responsible for forest fire, damages, etc , there no more legal than if I...
Two things I have used in the past in place of hot solder and gun:
Liquid Solder sold in tubes here
Hot Glue gun - This baby works wonders for attaching wires to anything, if the object attached to doesnt get hot enough to melt the glue, this is a great tool to have in your mad scientist chest
This is the one tomrinny just bought from pseudonomen137 - it's now in the mad mans hands - flies and wasps beware LOL why swat em when you can zap em ! 8-)
Just got me a 450 mW (average) 808 nm laser today - this baby burns black and brown colored things like the Sun is on it - but still takes awhile for red colored, white tipped matches LOL oh well, someday I will get one that can light these fast without coloring them ........ next I want...
ok thanks for the answer on the Pulsars - by the way I have two red DIY's lasers coming from Kenom - a burner and a super burner - Can't wait for them :)
It's me again the newbie - ok last time I was wondering about mW vs nm as far as burning now I am back with what I hope is my last newbie question before I can graduate from kindergarten and go into first grade lol
Please explain what a pulsar laser is and how it differs from a non pulsar, and...
As most of you know, I am still new to these light sabers, lol
I have a newbie question, it seems mW is noted mostly in power, but what are the factors of nm, I guess this is the wavelength or spectrum of the light ?
What would be more powerful for burning, a do it yourself red at 150mW, 539...
I noticed that someone is selling a red homemade laser that is 200 mW+ that's pretty awesome.... How high can these mag lite ones etc or others go ? whats the highest mW laser you have made ?
I have a green 5 mW that was around $20 with shipping, It is visible over a mile I know, because my friend could see the beam on the church siding, accross the hill from me. Id hate to guess how far my 95 mW beam goes............ lol oh yea, and by the way the 5 mW green won't even burn a fly
I just discovered these 'Wicked Cap Set' from wicked lasers, they sound pretty awesome, for turning low powers into higher, I guess like a magnifyer glass effect........ any way, Do you all use them on some of your lasers ? Will they seem to fit on non wicked brands, such as Dragon lasers...
yea, from further reading I see that my DL 95 mW is normal, light colored matches etc will not light for a long time. Just like the cups experiment I did, color is a major factor at least with a green laser. It takes me quite awhile to burn through thin blue but with a red cup, it goes very...
ok Im finding it has a LOT to do with reflection and asorbing light I guess....... my matches have white tips. If I blacken them with a marker, they light in about 8 sec, I also have plastic cups. If I shine it at a red cup it will melt through the side in like 12 sec, if it hits a blue cup it...
