Excellent! I just completed one of these also. Mine is not waterproof however - kudos on that. Looks like a lovely pointer.

Paper183, go into a dark room and let your eyes adjust to the dark, then turn on the 5mW module and point it towards you, you should be able to pick out the beam pretty easily.

with no smoke and from a very low angle pointing AWAY from me I can see the beam at night..... I have a power tested 7mW that does the same thing- and Im fairly sure its 650nm so I dont know MB im doing it differently from you guys? :-/ Oh I was outside at the time but it wasn't raining or foggy....

yeah my first protoyype leaked and then the dot got all distorted and the lens was all yucky- so this one is extra waterproofed lol ;D



yngndrw & chido thanks ! Im working on a second with a push button at the back instead of the twist on/ off... the module is too small to fit a green into so It'll have to be red again
