Then buying those goggles should be no problem. However, I wouldn't recommend a 13 year old who has "4.5 grand" in the bank, to use it all on lasers.

Here, But you shouldn't get into the hobby if you can't save enough for goggles after buying lasers. Eye safety comes first!

I've only heard good things about the eagle pair so you can't go wrong with them. They will definitely work if you need them for your custom machined 445nm build. (I saw your thread btw. and that host is awesome!:beer: especially for a 9mm 445nm)

3. From what I read, usually btw. 20-70mW (including IR) 5. Yes, you should be able to see the beam in the night sky if it is 20-70mW

You should have no problem seeing 1W of 638nm in the night sky:drool:

Congrats on the new lasers! Make sure to post pictures of the Oclaro 638nm when it's finished!:)

You could try cooling a 445nm diode with liquid nitrogen to achieve a lower wavelength but I think you're looking for freak diodes that are naturally low in wavelength.

Thanks for the welcome:) but was the positive rep really necessary? :(

Thanks for the welcome!:beer:

Thanks, I guess I could've just searched:)

I apologize for the criticism and I guess I can see how others would find something in this thread. Like Tha Greenlander said, I don't have to view the thread if I don't want to.

Re: FS: 1 Watt 445nm Blue Laser with Charger, 2 Sets Batteries , Glowrings etc. $99. Isn't that a bit too cheap? I wouldn't lower with too much haste.

maybe the physical "manufacturers" who assemble the product might not know... (that's all that I could think of )
