I'm considering getting some more LG pointers go go along with my Aquarius (the fourth one ever of the blue ones) and my CNI direct version of a Rigel (15mW!). I don't wanna spend that much on one for my kid though lol. I'm a huge fan of LG and their products lol.
Thank you Jerry! I'm the guy...
Hey all, one of the very oldest members of this forum arbitrarily popping in for a random ass question.
My son is my little clone, and unsurprisingly he wants to get into lasers after having seen some of mine. He's seven, so he's still of the age where waving around pretty colors is what...
The reputation/trophy points thing is a big part of what led to the awards program on my site. The member base wanted something qualitative, not quantitative; so we developed this program where to get lots of rep/trophy points you'd have to have actually accomplished something, which can be...
Hey guys!
I've been a member here for a very long time. I'm possibly one of the oldest members still quasi-active on this forum, even if I don't really feel like I have much to contribute. Since we've switched to the XF platform however, I feel as though that may change.
The long and short...
Precisely the point.
I have THE first 405 pen in the hobby, one of the first ever examples of the blue CNI 473s, I had (but broke) one of the first CNI 594s, I had a double-digit serial number Leadlight 532 and now I want one of if not the first one of these in a handheld. The stuff I value...
Once we get the handheld issue figured out, I'm willing to pay one of you to build me a pair of Spartans; a pair at 10 and 100ish mW. I don't have the means to do it myself, but I want in at the ground floor of this.
Thanks guys, especially @BowtieGuy for helping me through my post-Photobucket ineptness lol
That raises a question... can you guys see my avatar or my sig pic?
I hope I can hang on to this laser forever. My son has taken quite a shine to it however, so I'm not entirely sure how possible that...
Honestly?
Probably LOL
The community now is an entirely different thing than it was when I was active ten years ago. Back when I made most of my posts, the forum wasn't vBulletin yet, hobbyist power meters flat didn't exist, and 60mW from anything was impressive. Check out the link attached...
I know this thread is old af, but here is the FIRST blu-ray ever stuffed into a pen, a PS3 diode from way back in spring 2008 by Dr. Lava. I still have it, it still works, and I literally just took this picture. :)
I think that after allowing this info to sufficiently process, I'm gonna order one of these. Does anyone have any idea what it would take or how long it may be before this wl is available in a handheld?
Also- after almost 11 years as a member, I finally have 1000 posts! :eek::san:

Unfortunately Photobucket's money grab has basically killed the thread. I never actually metered it, but it blew away the controlled output 5mW 532nm Leadlights, and had a visible beam in moderate light conditions...
