Hmm well hopefully Rick will be up to some trade offers

what do you have to trade? Do you photo on your trade?

 

[dubious speculation]

Go with blord, he already has a nice big boy for sale just above

 

[hwang21]

Yeah but multiple output modes would be nice... I'll look into the options before I decide

 

[Shakenawake]

another thing that'd be nice is to have both a 3 element and a g2/g1/g9 whatever lens for it. that way you could have an ok beam or a super burner.

I personally don't like different modes if you have to click though all of them to turn it off or go back to a different mode.

 

[hwang21]

Couldn't you just hit the power button to turn it off? Haha

 

[Shakenawake]

not if the power button is the same as the mode switch button

 

[ricktrent4]

not if the power button is the same as the mode switch button

my 3w+ work by soft toughing the on and off button and starts out in high.If you turn it off it goes off.

 

[hwang21]

Neat design :beer: I wish my Arctic also started out in CW high power...

 

[Livinloud]

its not a new design by any means, its a momentary switch with half click/soft click for next mode. flashlights have been using these drivers forever!

 

[hwang21]

Oh I know haha but not the most common for lasers

 

[Livinloud]

there is a reason why flashlight drivers are not used in lasers but maybe rick has come up with one suited for lasers, i wouldnt know but he would

Alright so Rick has offered me a deal for a 3.5W 445nm laser, however I'd need to sell off my Spartan to have enough money to afford the trade/purchase. That being said... anyone wish to buy my Spartan? Or trade my Arctic+Spartan for something :beer:
