Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself
I've been lurking here for some time now and have gained much advice and knowledge from existing members and threads.
I'm not young, I'm female, slightly geeky and a huge sci-fi fan
The best way I can describe my obsession with light/lasers/spectrum is that I'm really big on colour. That probably sounds a bit odd but anyone with a similar 'thing' about it will know what I mean!
I started off buying a few 303 lasers a few years back and have progressed to some more powerful ones now like the Wicked Lasers Arctic Spyder III, a 445nm Thor, generic 450nm & 650nm 1w lasers from FastTech (£20) that are actually really nice. Also a cheap 635nm.
I've also just ordered a 465nm and 520nm PL-E Pro and Mini from Jet Lasers after many questions and superb advice & customer service from someone called Gray. Also ordered the 10x beam expander as I believe the beam on the 465nm is quite narrow. I like a nice thick, visible beam! It's actually the colours I like rather than the power. So looking forward to receiving those
While I'm here I'd just like to thank everyone who's posted so far as I've read up A LOT & gained some valuable tips & knowledge and managed to fix what I though was a dead laser (my Thor, fixed with some tin foil on the end cap!) from the advice already here
I'll probably continue to lurk as I don't have enough knowledge/experience to add anything constructive, but anyway...
Cheers
