just bought my first HeNe for less than 20$

Dude, I had my cursor hovering over the bid button on that last night about ten minutes before it ended. I'm glad it went to a memeber here!

I just saw an identical HeNe for $225.00 US. Item #190215633794.
Yeah, I'd say you got a good deal ;D ;D ;D

if there is a beam ill make some beam shot when i get it but i dont have a smoke machine

There should be a beam. They are suprisingly bright for their power level. Even with my 1mW fired up, if I look down the beam I can see it easily in a dark room without smoke or anything. Pretty neat!!

ERRRRMMMM . . .632nm isn't green  :-/

lol even with aerosol spray i didnt see much of a beam. it had some kind of metal sheilding over the tube that i couldnt remove so i sold it. it wasnt any use to me since i couldnt do what i wanted to.

 

[Cyparagon]

What is it you wanted to do with it? To whom did you sell it?

 

[ndrew2505]

i wanted to make a accent lamp deal to sit beside my ps3 and 2 360's but it was encased in that metal shell i couldnt get off.... :'( as for who i sold it to, well they'll have to tell you if they want to post but it was another member from lpf.
