Laserbtb/Skylasers "LP532 - 150mW" 2xAAA

What's is with all of the abbreviations? Just type normally. If you are on a phone then you should wait to get home from school to type...

Be respectful. Livinloud knows more than you and I will ever know, and he is a being a heck of alot more helpful than you give him credit for.

Be respectful or you won't be helped. We are here to help you, but you are not entitled to help, so don't act like it.

This is your warning.

ok, since nobody else is interested in this thread i wanne make sth clear 2u:

1. dont just advice [advise] me to buy a better hl or pl after i received it in my hands [a LP laser]. this is nonsense in this thread [this is nonsense that we suggest answers to your questions?]. consider that i made my thoughts about them but eventually went for that pen.

2. iam not judging laserbtb nor wicked quality or selling tactics. but iam holding both pens in my hands and definitely can tell which switch! build quality is better. i asked this several times here and didnt get even a roper answer from those who own it... now i know. [where did you ask owners of the LP laser prior to buying it?]

for sb skillful enough to build his own lasers, u could have written sth. more helpful... [I did post something very helpful but you decided to be defensive and shrug it off. Ill give you one more shot before i completely ignore all future questions. Dont be disrespectful of members who are helping you out......thats a good way to get banned]

never mind...[then why did you post it?]

I can give you advice all I want, i mean you are the one who posted a question so obviously you were seeking advice. I'd also ADVISE you not to buy WL products (it really helps when you use the proper words as well since I cant advice you ;)). Using horrible English just makes you look unintelligent or like a young kid.

Also if you are on a phone its best not to type long posts. I was on a phone when i posted my above statement but I took the time to properly type everything out since im going out of my way to help give you advice that you asked for.

I will agree that the WL (as long as you are talking about Evo E2) has a solid feeling host and button but then again; you can polish a turd but its still a turd :na: Ive owned a Evo E2 and while it was rated at "75mW" it put out an astonishing 30mW. This brings me back to my you can polish a turd scenario. They put questionable parts inside a "fancy" host so it looks quality but take it apart and you have average parts.

Now going to LaserBtb, CNI, LG, etc....... They use quality parts and put them in less "stunning" hosts but in the end they are better products. However you are complaining about a "crappy button" so as i suggested above, you should contact Kevin and get a replacement laser since they shouldn't be like this. You also cant tell me that the packaging wasnt abused, you posted a picture and we all can clearly see it is crumpled, dented and pieced together which IS NOT characteristic of LaserBtb. Everyone else gets their lasers in nicely packaged boxes or envelopes.

Now you can take my ADVICE or you can ignore it but just remember, YOU joined this community looking for help/advice and YOU posted this question. Im just trying to help YOU out by answering YOUR question. If you are going to get defensive and rude when someone tries to help you then this is not the place for you.

+2 for you kind sir :beer:

...this thread ist getting totally useless :tired::tired::tired:

good news! i found a cure: it looks like there is a :thinking: voltage fluctuation/bad current conduction caused by the case's +/- poles:thinking:. i increased the pressure on the battery poles with alu foil and it seems to work fine, but who knows how much this flickering actually shortened the lifetime of the diode.

this laser is highly over spec., reaching about 300mW max.

HAPPY END! :wave:

That is by far the worst idea I've heard of. What happens if the foil shorts on something it shouldn't and now you killed the laser completely. I mean its your laser but do what you please. Also how do you know its now 300mW? Did you meter it, on what?

I still don't see why you won't contact Kevin to get a replacement. If you spend money on something you shouldn't have to rig something up to make it work properly. Again your call but totally not what I would have done

Well said...

AS livinloud said, aluminum foil is NEVER the way to go. It could get loose, it could flake, it could short out components... If you have found the problem, get it replaced, dont use makeshift fixes, get it fixed right... This will help you in the future as well as now.

Ummmm, how do you know that?

i already contacted him: first he wants a video of the flickering (which is already not easy to show with my crappy digicam), then i have to ship it back to china, he has to test it and then he decides if i can get a replacement.
these are his conditions. iam not interested in more waiting time, customs again and more shipping costs if a peace of foil solves it. i can live with that.

the foil was for testing, until i find a little spring or metal plate to replace it. really dont know why u guys are so worried.
and what if the replacement is only a 150mw or even less laser. this sucks then

yes i measured it with http://laserpointerforums.com/f45/calculating-laser-power-output-86132.html#post1251220

You do realize that formula is a POS and isn't correct at all. Let me say this one last time; THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW THE POWER OF A LASER IS ON A LASER POWER METER.

Why do we care? Well frankly I don't care any more, I did because im a nice guy and care about the members of this community. When people want to be rude and not take advice when they asked for it, then yeah, i don't give a rats behind anymore

You obviously don't care about our advice and you want to do your own thing, good for you but it'll be the expensive way and the only reason for a huge increase in power is your diode is about to die so have fun with a dead laser :beer:

Shipping it back to Kevin doesn't seem so bad now and what did you expect. Kevin to be like "oh your laser is broken, here, I sent you a new one already"..........Am I the only one who sees a problem in that?

SERIOUSLY MAN :wtf: read the posts in the thread again

Yeah, only way to know is with an LPM. :p

Check out DIY Ophir LPM's if you're interested.

The efficiency of each diode varies so much . That's why one cannot calculate without an lpm. A 9mm run at 2.25a can put out 2.3w. Up to 3.5w. Over 1000mw difference.

Also your "thermo sensor" is just hooked up to a DMM......no power to it at all so how the heck does it work? Fairy dust?

Your SA attitude is going to get you no where here
