Hi from Czech republic

[Jirkas99]

Hello,
After a long time I finally decided to introduce myself.
My interests are electronics travelling and ofcourse lasers.
I'am from Czech republic and I've been interested in lasers since I was kid.
My first pointers were red ~5mWs.I remember that I tried to stuff them with more batteries than they were designed to take to make them
brighter(I was like 7 years old).Then I totally forgotten about pointers for a long time.To make it short about 4 Years ago I bought my first green pointer
it was advertised something like 100000mW i knew it is not true but it was cheap.Next was 200mW 660nm on which practiced safety.Then found LPF and spent a few evenings reading all the stuff stickies etc.I joined 2years ago i think.My next lasers were 4.5W 450nm and 700 mw BDR-209 set at 530 mA which broke about a month ago.Now i have a new BDR-209 module on its way.And today I decided to introduce myself.
Have a nice day.

Welcome To the Forum Jirkas99...
The name seems strange in English...
Don't forget to use proper Laser Safety
Googles/Glasses.

Enjoy your stay and be Laser Safe...

Because in English your user name sounds like

Jerk-A$$-99. I'm sure it means something else
in your language..

I thought that. Jirka or Jiří is one of the most common names in our country.I added that s because it is first letter of my surname and 99 is date of birth (1999).

[Richie89]

Glad to have you! welcome and be safe
you have a 5W M44 SL S4? nice. I was actually thinking of doing an NUBM08 in the C6 eventually, I know some will say that's too much for a small host but eh why not? lol!

 

[Jirkas99]

Thanks again yes I have NUBM44 in
S4 host but dutycycle is very short.I won't let it on for more than 15 seconds.But even that 15 seconds are enough to enjoy the beam or to light something on fire(with glasses on ofcourse).
