I can't be the only one, right? Just now an eight legged freak was dangling above me and I took great pleasure in gutting it with a 1.6W 445nm laser beam (Thanks Tinkertavernco!). Something about that snap-crackle-pop sound the fallen creepy creature makes followed by the small puff of smoke...

Gizmodo posted this article on the THEL that caught my eye, and I thought I'd share. I'm sure we've discussed her before but this one in particular at Rheinmetall's Ochsenboden Proving Ground is quite attractive. I need this for the ants in my kitchen. :( I wonder when they go on sale...

I've decided I'm ready to sell my LG Rigel-6, as its a very niche color, and while I like it I really really miss 473nm, so I'm going to replace my 473. Here is the review I did on this laser just less than a year ago...

When searching for reviews of 594.5nm pointers before purchasing mine I found they were sparse, even on this forum of laser enthusiasts, so hopefully this helps someone else take the plunge and purchase a yellow. :) I'll start off by saying that this was the smoothest laser purchase I've had...

Hello good people of the LPF, I was just trading emails with every laser company I know of in this past week trying to find the best deal on a 473nm handheld with some power since my Aquarius bit the dust. So far dragonlasers.com has a pretty great deal on a 30mW and we know they sell CNI, but I...

I've noticed the reflection on the wall when you melt something with a laser is really cool, abstract, beautifully random even, so this is now one of my favorite things to do with my lasers, but never have I captured it on camera so well, as it's usually quite dim. It's an even cooler effect in...

Hey guys, I have an issue with one of my 50mW pointers, the little rubber thing that holds the driver in place has broken, seems like an easy fix, but I haven't been finding any readily available items around the casa to replace it. Suggestions anyone? N00bs, Pros?

So I'm seriously gonna take the plunge and drop the 400$+ for a 5mw here in the next few months. My question to those of you who know is: which yellow? 589nm or 593nm? All my options are about the same price, and I have three I am considering. 1st, a Spartan 589;Orange Handheld Laser --- 589nm...

Hello, I've had to take a break from the forum the past few months due to life being hectic :rolleyes:, but I have now returned, with good things to say of everyone's favorite company Wicked Lasers. So first the backstory: I was among the first few thousand in the everlasting list of...

*To the Mods* This is my attempt at making your job easier, this will put all the drama back into one thread, so you won't have to go around deleting threads daily, please give me a chance to have this thread, I enjoy helping the n00bs* This thread is here to inform you, I am making this an...

One day, not so long ago, I was home alone and the only thing on my agenda was to take a shower, but I'd just gotten my Skylasers portable after a very long wait (see: Arctic shipping delay x2) ... Needless to say I wanted to do everything with this beautiful device, and when it came time to...

Hello, I found this on CNN today, I'd like to know others' opinions on it. Do you think it was necessary to open fire the first time? Second? Third? Let's hear it. *WARNING* -this video contains some terrible realities of war, if you are weak toward the sight of people dying you might not want...

Skylasers.com has now doubled their prices on portable lasers, and for no apparent reason... This is crazy, their lasers are not worth that price... It's now more economical (and smarter) to buy a herc from LG. Wow, just wow.

I saw this concept on my (close 2nd) favorite tech website, gizmodo.com i thought it was a really cool concept. Anyway, here's the link: http://m.gizmodo.com/site?t=HJGwrdYHH5lbvSt7FAwTRA&sid=gizmodoip

Hi, I am selling this skylasers 170mW green laser pointer because I have upgraded to a portable and don't need it, also I need a new computer... It's the exact same one as on skylasers.com, (without the lock, the lock proved unreliable to them) it was listed as a 150mW and I was offered a...

I was just having a convorsation with my best friend and fellow laserist Scotty, and we thought of something. Weapons grade lasers will more than likely be invisible, IR... Maybe it'd work as a space weapon, or as an arial artillery piece like boeing's ABL (airbourne laser), but think of this...

I'm kinda just venting here... And I'd guess this is where I put this kinda thing... Skylasers recieved my order on Dec. 30th 2009, around midnight... I didn't get an order conformation until 7:00pm the next day, but they, of course, had NO PROBLEM charging my card for it... Okay, so then there...

Here's something fun I thought of today, everyone knows by sigs what lasers you have, but I thought it'd be fun to add the total of all of your lasers combined together! So, if it was possible to hold all of your lasers at the same exact point, how much power could you put on-target? I could put...

Just wondering, I searched the topic on here and googled it, but couldn't find it anywhere... I know that on the visible wavelength scale it falls right between red 650nm and orange 594nm... So what do you think 635nm looks more like? Orange or red? Just wondering. -thanks.

I noticed in alot of pictures on reviews, laser collection show-off-ing and things like that, some people have these plastic endcaps on their lasers. I wanted to know where I can get them, but the guy (a vet, as usual) I PM'd about it wasn't kind enough to reply (as expected) so I'm bringing it...
