I see. I just wanted to know if it was possible to keep the housing in case someday I could replace the module with a functional one. It's not an emergency though as I ordered parts to build an 80mW 520nm unit a while ago, and I have an old 40mW 532nm "pen-style" pointer laying around that I can...
About a year ago, I purchased a green laser pointer from LaserPointerPro (I even made a post here about it before it arrived). It was advertised as 50mW, and when it arrived I think it might have actually been closer 30-35ish mW, and the beam divergence was not terrible. The host takes one 18650...
I see. I plan on using the ACS500SE driver, though.
Thank you for your amazing reply!
About the driver, I plan on using the ACS500SE to power both of my pointers because I was able to find it for 1.33 Canadian rubles less than the LDSE500, and they appear to be pretty much the same thing...
A huge thank you to both of you for such fast and info-packed replies! Honestly I posted this last night hoping to have a reply by the end of the week and I come back today to see two amazing responses to my question.
I really appreciate your rapid response to my problem, all the time that you...
Hello,
I am building two 80mW laser pointers using 450nm and 520nm Osram laser diodes. More specifically, they are the PL 450B and PL 520B models respectively. I know all the parts that I need to purchase (you can find the list below if it helps), except the drivers for the laser diodes. I plan...
I merged the posts. Sorry, I am new here...
And I did search this question here before, I just didn't find the type of answer I was looking for. I feel like I got it now, though. Thank you
You give me more hope, thanks a lot for your reply :)
It's funny because I actually wanted to buy that very laser you mentioned until the last moment, when I switched to the one I ordered because I felt like the price was more realistic and the host was more to my taste. Also I appreciate your...
Congratulations. It's got a very nice colour. I don't expect that to be in a hand held pointer any time soon, maybe in a few years once it becomes a more popular wavelength choice.
Thank you for your kind words
That is true, if it's good enough, I will be happy. Thanks
Thanks for your advice. I will be sure to do more research if I buy another laser in the future. Based on what China Post says, the laser is already in my country, so I expect it to reach me in about a...
I recently bought a 50mW 532nm green laser pointer from laserpointerpro.com. Recently, though, I've been told that this website is guilty of many things, including sending dysfunctional or underspec lasers, using credit card info, or downright not shipping products at all. The laser I bought...
