Hello to all of you
I am a student from Switzerland interested in electronics (and of course lasers). How I came to LPF:
I wanted to start with lasers about 4 years ago, when I saw YouTube videos of people burning stuff mostly with high powered 445nm lasers (YES kipkay!). Luckily my father kept me from buying a 1W module, because I had absolutely no idea about goggles, as they are never mentioned in these videos... He than showed me one of those threads here on LPF about getting hit in the eye. If I remember correctly it was this one: http://laserpointerforums.com/f53/hit-eye-1000mw-445nm-blue-laser-69469.html
Recently I gave it another try (this time with goggles of course) and bought a 1W 445 from lazerer (for which I will be doing a review btw). So I have been reading here for a long time, and now I thought it is finally time to join.
Apart from that I also have a Laser301 (50mw 532, not really sure if 50mw but good for pointing at stars).
I have not yet done any DIY builds (I think sticking two AA cells to a 14$ Ebay 532 module doesn`t count
)
I have to say a big :thanks: to LPF for saving my eyeballs, because many Youtube videos give the impression that not having goggles even for 1W is absolutely ok :wtf:
