12X in Ehgemus Host For Sale

[Meatball]

For Sale is a 12X BR Laser setup in an Ehgemus Mini RPL with Focusing Adapter.
The host is featured here: http://laserpointerforums.com/f52/ehgemus-custom-host-review-45694.html

The 12X drop in module Mohrenburg- made. The V5 Flexdrive is set to 305mA, powered by one CR123 primary, or rechargeable.

This was the first privately owned 12X made for non- testing purposes. The laser has at least 5 hours of use on it total.

The BDR-205 diode has always been used with a Jayrob 405-G1 lens mounted in an Ehgemus focusing adapter. The lens nut has teflon tape wrapped around the threads.

The diode window has been through a very thorough cleaning by Flaminpyro. The window still displays a faint smudge pattern before the lens. The diode has not degraded since the cleaning, and still produces a very clean dot.
The problem is described here: http://laserpointerforums.com/f38/12x-diode-window-artifact-46429.html

It's my favorite laser, and my most powerful, but I don't need this much power from a color that I already have. I want to move on to other colors and different kinds of lasers. I'm liking the visual aspects of lasers, more so than their power. But if you're looking for a burner...

I have never had it metered, as I do not own a meter. The thing stings skin unfocused, and lights a white tipped match from 20' away.

I hope this goes to someone willing to take good care of it. It cost about $450 to make at the time, but I'm asking $250 shipped or best offer. Post here for questions, and PM me for inquiries.

What you get, is the laser with 405-G1 lens, two pair of Scopeguy BR goggles, and some fluorescing marbles along with a few other surprises!

Thanks for Looking!

Lol! Good call. Thanks I'm looking forward to modding this puppy up to 650mW.

Okay, now I have a couple questions. Does this use protected or non protected batteries? Also what voltage batteries are do you use?

 

[sandidgepatrick]

WOW!!!!!! X12 250.00....when u get done playing with it luke u know who 2 call....

It appears that these < .5W lasers are proving to be too much for some people

Love the deals though

Peace,

As mentioned in the thread, It uses a single CR123. I use the trustfires that Drew sells:

16340 RCR123A size 3.6-3.7v battery (2 pack) [BATT4] - $5.99 : Modwerx Shop

I believe they are protected.

True Dave, some people don't need that much violet. I'm thinking that I want to move away from burning power, and go more into color/visual appearance. 115mws of Violet does not fluoresce objects any less than a 12X.

I still need to find me a greenie!

[yobresal]

Awesome, I have plenty of those batteries. I am just a little confused because in the review of the host you state "I had Ehgemus add an extra set screw in the head, and add length to the barrel to fit a second CR123." But in the sale thread you say it runs on a single cell. Is there a spacer or is this a different host or....

 

[Meatball]

Oh, I know what you mean now.

The host WAS made and sent to me as a longer barrel for 2 batteries.
But because of the depth that I had to set the module, I ended up setting it up with one battery, held steady by a spring on the tailcap, and a spring on the rear end of the module as the positive contact. Does that answer your question?

I use 20mW for fluorescing minerals. You will actually see much more with low power. The "blaze" from a high powered violet laser usually overpowers the much more subtle fluorescent reactions in most minerals

Awesome! The springs are great because they allow for the differences in protected VS non-protected. A couple of my Ehgemus builds I didn't use a spring and so They take either protected or non-protected. I now use a spring whenever possible so that I can choose either or. I am sure I am going to love this laser. Really looking forward to it. Thanks again for the awesome dealio.

Interesting, I suppose that makes some sense. I just haven't seen it myself to be honest. Perhaps an experiment is in order!

I didn't know that the un-protected batteries were a different size. I've never owned any.

Put this thing through it's paces, and I'm sure it will perform for you! Just be "gentle" when turning up the current, ok?

 

[yobresal]

Yeah protected and non protected are different lengths. It isn't too bad when it is a single cell, but when you are using 2 or 3 cells the difference becomes huge.
