Laser Contest #1 - Best Laser under $100

[styropyro]

Bah, should have seen this earlier! I would have won for sure!

My first blu ray laser (~10mW) looked a lot like this, except with more rubber bands.

So have you guys in the vet section heard anything about direct yellow diodes?

Not yet. But if someone hears about them, I can almost guarantee the source will not be released until some samples are in someone's hand. Too much badgering would ensue, and we would be left high and dry as the manufacturers cut ties with us.

Ah missed that! Have you mentioned the 445 4W ers? It was the first really interesting thread I read when I got in...!:shhh:

Thou shalt bow to my wrath! :eg:

Anyway, have you solved your laser problem? We have some tips on faty's thread

Okay, lazerphase your build has been added, if you wish to vote for lazerphase please post a comment in THIS thread . After this however, I'm going to be doing it in Australian Timezone, this just makes it easier for me.

Next contest I'm thinking of using an external site where the options won't be edited and I can edit and change the poll. Sorry for any inconvenience this time around :beer:. I have however, put a big notice at the top of the thread stating that if you wish to vote for one of the 4 contestants that aren't on the poll, you can do so on the other thread. It's in size 6 .

Also guys, as said before, please try to leave off-topic chat out of this thread. This thread is for contest discussion on the current contestants.

Darn right!
Black hosts are SOOOOOOOoooo last decade.
Its all about the BLING BLING (kinda curious about the output of those lasers tho)
Would have voted VERY differently if they LPMed their applications.
