Then use the term 1000mW

 

[Ash]

This post does not contribute to this forum. 1 watt is a technical description for the amount of energy a beam is outputting. Being more specific, you are ranting about how tired you are about all the talk about 1 Watt lasers. This is due to the introduction of the cheaper 445nm Casio diodes, which can be happily run at 1 watt. Deal with it, it's a breakthrough for laser enthusiasts and its going to be a natural hot topic.

you're right your post doesn't LoL

uh, i am dealing with it by the rant....DUH!! and i don't need a lecture from you describing what 1 watt means. i;m well aware. and i am ranting that they are being called 1 watt but they are rarely over that. so when did the wattage determine the wavelength. so i have a 90mw and a 120mw. so mr. brain surgeon what colors are they.

this thread does contribute. it lets noobs know to address a laser properly, by wavelength and not power

[kiyoukan]

would it help to say that all of my 445nm lab lasers can do over 1000000uw?

 

[chipdouglas]

if your laser is a watt it's ok. but all the noobs calling the 445's 1 watt is stupid

My contribution pertains not to a rant or display of disgust of the ignorance of others, but is directed rather to your own ignorance in thinking a rant about "noobs" would contribute anything other then useless banter.

The description I included in my post was a reason behind my disagreement. It was not meant to educate or inform, but rather to contribute to my remarks on your thread.

Here's how your thread would go:

I am so tired of all the noobs coming to our forum ignorantly describing all 445nm lasers as 1 watt lasers.

Response:
I know man, it's so lame!

End of Thread.

.....Yeah exactly

if i said that you would still be here crying some other sob story. "leave the noobs alone" or some other bs..

you are nobody to tell me what is and isn't acceptable to post here. I have been here long enough to know. my rant about improper id'ing of a laser is perfectly fine. if anything you are out of place thinking you can tell me what is ok to post here. you've been here for about a month, you know nothing of how the core group of ppl here get along.
