I see that the temperature range of an Hercules model start to 15 and end to 35 degrees Celsius. Yesterday I have used my Herc outside, and the temperature was about 2 degrees Celsius.
The laser started weak, then after a lot of impulse, the beam starts at full power, but the look of the beam and the dot was very ugly, as showed is those photos:
.. while in my room, at 23 degrees Celsius, it seems to be ok:
I must say that in my home I have a test corridor of 8.50 meters, while outside I have done the test in a front porch of about 30 meters, so I cannot say if also in my home, at that distance, the beam and the dot may be good or not.
Hovewer, the main question is:
an high temperature can damage the diode laser ... a low temperature can damage the diode in the same way, or show just some bad issues like oval dot or double beam?
2 Celsius degrees must be considered a dangerous temperature?
A very good Christmas to all!
