Hi,
I was wondering if someone actually measured the relation between power and light intensity. Personally I don't know if they are proportional or not. But from what I can visually see a 1W laser is not 10 times as bright as a 100mw or a 2W twice as bright as a 1W. So, since I am also a ham...
Well I am changing hobby so up for sale are all my lasers including the two argons,
Check my signature for them all.... I have not put a price on them yet but my main objective is to trade them for a metal detector... if any of you have a nice metal detector in the closet and want to trade it...
Well I finally found an affordable (more or less) power supply to work on my melles griot 05-LHR-911 HeNe gas laser, I powered it up and it was nice and smooth, when I got it going I looked at the beam and it sure didn't look anything near the 1-2mW it looked much over that. So I went on and put...
Well finances aren't good this month so all my lasers are up for grabs. Check my signature if you like something that is not listed.
Here is the list:
405nm 500mw $180
Wallbuys 405nm 100mW SOLD!!!
Lazerer 1.2W 445nm Rifle with aliuminum case and 5 diffracting caps SOLD
Danefex minisabre 455nm...
Well if you have read the review that DJNY made on this laser you know that it is not 2W. Not even near, but to be honest I didn't expect it to be and for the price I don't think you can get any better than this.
I got the laser from wallbuys.com with a 50% discount, and the cost of it was of...
Well I was missing the 593.5 wavelenght and since laserglow was making a closeout sale I decided to take a chance on a Rigel 6 with minor scratches.
I got the laser today, and to my surprise the sctatches weren't there... Go figure... oh wait.... after very close inspection there is one minor...
I am looking for a power supply that works with this tube:
05-LHR-991 MELLES GRIOT
the specs of it are the following:
Minimum e/2 c/2L Supply Nominal
Output Beam Diver- Mode Opr/Strt Tube Tube Size Power Diam gence...
There is no other sense, I mount everything and it works no problem but as soon as I use the heat gun to shrink the tubing on the diodes connections it just kills the diode. Already busted 2 diodes because of this. What do you guys use to shrink the tube on the diodes leads.???
I have a laserlands 473nm that has about 85mw. Could I take it apart (the laser module) and put a driver and install it on a hand held host? Just wondering if someone tried this before....
Maybe you have seen this a thousand times, difraction glass is nothing new. But I had an idea for my new Avatar, and I have to say that I like it quite a bit.
What do you think:
For the avatar picture (first one here) I used 2 1W lasers each one with a difraction glass in front...
Obvuiously asking advise after the purchase is a bit stupid but since I have no experience in HeNe lasers other than what I can read in the net and see arround, I would like to ask if the deal was fine or not.
I just bought a 05-LHR-991 MELLES GRIOT HeNe LASER tube and a AEROTECH ELECTRO...
Well I had an idea on what I would like to submit to the "under $100" laser, but unfortunately since I live in Costa Rica, shippings of parts aren't as fast and I wasn't going to post a laser that didn't have my personal touch.
So finally I was able to finish the mod today, tell me what you...
Well believe it or not, I was playing arround with my beams in a dark room full of fog. I decided to try out the 808 and see if I could actually see it.
Well I remained in total darkness for about 10 min. than I turned the 808 on and placed it in parallel to my eye to try to see the beam...
CNI Model: PGL-III-C-589NM-80mW.
Well after making the Group Buy possible with CNI, Today I got my yellow 589nm Laser delivered to my door.
First let me tell you that the group buy was quite an interesting experience, it was a bit hard to get the best possible price for everyone but I consider...
Selling my ophir head and power supply. This is almost brand new, I had it for less than 15 days, and really would preffer to have the money invested in a laser.
I built the power supply that uses 2 9V batteries, and switch, all boxed, just plug on the DMM and you are set.
I will accept...
Not so long ago wallbuys made a laser promotion with huge discounts on their products. Well I jumped on 2 different lasers since I wanted to test them to see if they were performing as advertised or were another one of many Chinese lasers with performance way under the advertised specs.
First...
I just took apart some lasers that were given to me. They were green lasers but didn't work anymore (due to the lenses falling off...).
Anyhow the drivers are good. They are linear drivers, but in testing them I found out one strange behavior.
I took off the diode and connected the DMM to...
Well I have had it. I want a fog machine.
I don't want to buy anything too expensive (the cheaper the better) and I don't need to put smoke on a 1000 sq.ft. area, just a single room to play arround and to take some pictures with my lasers.
Let's say that the biggest area that I could be...
Well I had to throw away my car dvd since it wasn't working anymore. Anyhow I dissasemble it compleately and here is what I got:
Obviously a laser, a lens, a couple of mirrors (very small) and something I can't really tell what it is. I don't know if it's the laser pickup module or how it's...
:wtf: Was just checking ebay, and it seems that the Ophir 20c is out of stock...:eek:
Could you immagine if they didn't stock them anymore? Prices would go skyrocket high...
