Ever have a thought you wanted to share, but didn't know just where to share it here, well this is it, fire away, light em up, let er rip, go 4 it.

It's that time of year when the daily temps are getting cooler and the days are growing shorter, it's the start of autumn, the change of season and when it 1st hits I get that anxious feeling, it's something from deep within my genetic memory, something instinctual..... it's like " Have I put away enough food for the coming winter ? " .... I bet you have sensed it too.

I remember when I 1st felt it, I was quite young, maybe just a few years before Star Wars hit the big screen..... now that was a great movie, we watched it again and again, the laser battles were so cool but lasers were not easily available to the general public like they are today, we have come a long way and the future is bright for lasers which are still as exciting as ever, just imagine what a young kid today will have at his fingertips in another 40 years.

Daylight savings time is this Sunday Nov. 3rd at 2:00am we will fall back an hour..... Spring forward..... Fall back, so 2:00am will become 1:00am.
4 weeks until Thanksgiving then 4 more weeks until Christmas, 2025 will be upon us before you know it.
 
If anyone has a Spirit Halloween Store nearby they often have a few days of epic post Halloween sales before they close until next Halloween. Not just on costumes but often some really cool stuff that is relevant to the laser hobby like fog machines and fog liquid. :cool:


The one near me also had some really cool blacklights and multi color LED strobe lights. Definitely I will also be getting more anime wigs if possible too. :cool:
 
What I ended up getting from Spirit Halloween - everything was 50% off at my location. I got all this stuff for just $30.

This is the most compact LEP I have seen yet, looks like simply a 3.5W 450nm laser diode with a shine through LEP membrane and a coli lens, no doubt it could be over driven, will need to be put in a flashlight heat sink and could have added optics, very easy build, I have ordered but please post if anyone sees more for sale.
