Hey guys i am really new to the forums and i love laser pointers and have just gotten into them. I was wondering what your thought were on if my laser would get seized by customs? i ordered from lazerer 100mw and was wondering if it would get through. i live in Missouri, United states so i didnt no if that changed anything.



Thanks,


Chandler
 





Welcome to the forum!
As far as I know you should be ok, I haven't heard of anything from Lazerer getting pinched by customs, Wicked is on their hit list.
 
Thanks :) thinking about ordering this one too, but its pretty high powered, and i very new to collecting lasers. RIFLE 445nm - 1W Focusable Burning Blue Laser definatly getting glasses for my lasers though. My 5mw greenie when i turn it on it is really dim then gets bright then gets dim then super bright agian, does anyone know why this is?

Click to expand...

The power fluctuation is due to thermal expansion of the crystals in the DPSS unit.
As the module heats up, the aligned crystals move very slightly, thus affecting the power output.
Cheaper pointers fluctuate more than better ones, but they all do it to some extent until the unit temp and output become stable.

Brilliant, thanks rocket, much apprieciated. also was wondering if anyone had any lasers for sale?
 
No prob. :cool:

What lasers are you looking for? (wavelength, power, host type)
 
well i am VERY new to lasers so (call me a noob) but im not so sure. nothing too expensive. or too powerfull. im getting a new one for christmas and i might get one b4 that.
 
Pretty much all of my stuff is higher power.
