Ahoy!
Sorry for the absence - it's been a while....
I bought the 7w blue from this masterpiece collection for nightime shooting (as above).
Great laser - after adjusting our hunting technique it was a super improvement on our last approach and excellent for designating targets, vermin, etc.
I have a question for the community, however.
Recently, I have noticed what I can only describe as "wings" on the edge of the laser... they actually appear almost as an "x" shape on either side of the point of impact...
Does anyone know what this is?
I'm doing a diagnosis to learn more, but I am thus far led to believe that one of the glasses inside the linos beam extender must have acquired a "smudge" or "burr" through what I can only assume is the normal course of use.
My question is: a) is this normal? and b) where might I obtain replacement glass (the tiiiiny ones at the laser-end of the beam extender/expander)?
I didn't realise these lasers had "consumables", lol.
I don't suppose there's anyone UK-based here that can help me out?
And to be fair, I was hoping to trade OP for his Verde Volcano, but I dare say he's now in the place of eternal laser lightshows.... if so, rest well brother.
