CNI GB #10 (June, is Planned for delivery)






If the 50mw GLP is usually >75mW, is it worth the extra $30 for the 75 mW rated GLP? Does anybody know the usual output of the 75 mW rated GLP?

I'm deciding between the two...
 
PGL-III-C-473nm-20mW/Unit $380... Put me down for one, please.

Thanks!

i think it would be, the 75mW version probably does maybe 100mW and for the matter of 30$ its well worth it IMO.

stuart :)
 
ok thanks stuart.

Glenn,
Please put me down for one GLP-532nm-75mW/Unit $135.00.
Thanks!!!
 
Any info on the 671nm DPSS yet? I finally have a job and some money, and I think a red DPSS would be cool!
 
im interested in these ones

PGL-III-532F-200mW
PGL III -C-532 300mw

If I wanted one. When is the deadline to pay it and when will I get it? (USA, CA), thank you


Well it certainly would make it much more fun. A lot of people falsely believe that if a laser is focusable they can simply set the laser to focus to a small pinpoint at far distances and solve their divergence problem. Unfortunately it just doesn't work like that. You will be able to get the laser to a small point probably around 6 ft from aperture and closer. After that you are just going to make the divergence worse.



Arent the focusable the same as the blu ray ones? I have a blu ray and I can focus it to burn at around 5 yards

focus is not as necessary with a green laser because the beam is smaller, especially with a CNI which usually has good divergence and a nice thin beam. The focus would work the same as the focus on a red or bluray, just turn the head to bring the burning spot closer. Technically you can focus the laser to burn just about anywhere along the beam, so a focusable laser will burn better, but its a serious PITA to get it back to the "normal" focused to infinity setting usually.

I've had a red laser light a match and pop balloons at 20+ feet, you should be able to do the same with any focusing laser (that is strong enough)

what power output is it? and is it CNI?

75mW rated is about 110 mW from the few I tested.

Let's try to have all the GB #10 orders paid by the 18th, so we can send in the order. -Glenn

PGL IR lasers:
PGL-III-808nm-50mW/Unit $242
PGL-III-808nm-100mW/Unit $271
I'll soon ask about higher output units, what output is desired?
