Hi all

[Holden486]

Hey guys , I'm from Australia (pain in the ass to get good lasers here)
I'm fairly new to lasers. A friend brought me a green laser from Thailand recently (rated 1000mW which seems fake considering the prices of hi power green lasers I've seen for sale here . )
I love it , I'm now fascinated by lasers and I'm keen on getting some blue ones, but can't seem to get hi powered blue lasers here ( I notice other Aussie ppl in this forum with same problem )
Anyway , love the forum , hope to become a part of this group of enthusiasts, and donated to LPF
Cheers

Welcome Isaac, good to have another Aussie here! You might have to build your own blue if you are confident? I build my own, very rewarding!:beer:

WELCOME

Some here dont know how good we have it--

I hope you never has any such problems- some say spend the extra for the best fastest shipping and split the laser into two boxes shipped a few days apart - and of course no warnig labels or batteries --

Hope you have no problems -- If I were shipping there i would need to know in advance what would be expected should the laser get seized-- some here could not possibly cover such a loss and its not their fault IMO--

Pm me if you need any more advice.. Hak

Welcome to the LPF! You'll learn a lot here for sure. Before long, you'll be piecing together your own light cannons and won't have to worry about import/export issues.

Be safe and have fun!

Cheers,
Clayton

Welcome to the forums! Always use safety goggles if you don't want to go blind! You have just one pair of seeing balls!
