Re: **** True >200mW 532nm S-KY PGL-200 handheld l Any reviews of these on the way ? With pictures and burning results on everything but the house :P

Re: What's THE most reliable green laser under $14 And that's why I said I'm interested in buying from DIY or a small workshop of enthusiasts business ;) So is it certain Blaze buy from S-KY ? Are they "standard" S-KY lasers or customed some way ? Are these ok for reliability and general quality ?

Re: What's THE most reliable green laser under $14 Not exacty half the pirce but it's a start ::) Is this BlazeLasers a small (enthusiast) workshop which assembles lasers or do they also sell the products of a bigger manufacturer ? If they manufacture them, are there any conclusive comparisons...

Re: F.S. * 300mW MXDL Open Can Laser With Heatsink You really should post some good quality photos of these lighting, both indoor and outside at night. Are they visible in the night sky or on a dark background ? Can they burn plastic and paper ? I'm more interested in a green portable but a...

Re: What's THE most reliable green laser under $14 I think if someone would offer to build green portables of medium to high power (would need parts, science and probably a purchase list from members) he could have great success with them if: 1. they would have equilavent brightness, burn power...

Re: F.S. * 300mW MXDL Open Can Laser With Heatsink No info whatsoever on my specific questions, not in the first post or the linked thread. There are no relevant pictures (of the lasers lighting or burning) and the movie is also relatively useless (noone thinks a 300 mW won't light matches). If...

Re: F.S. * 300mW MXDL Open Can Laser With Heatsink Do you or anybody else manufacture green portables with an output of 200 - 400 mW ? I would be interested in buying such a unit from a respected builder here if it had equivalent performances with similar units from reputable manufacturers...

Re: What's THE most reliable green laser under $14 What is the use of these 'flashlight' type lasers from DX ? Do they have a wider beam (1 inch / 2 inch) ? Are they used a a normal but more efficient flashlight ? Or as they suggest on their site as a non-lethal weapon or deterrent ? Anyone has...

So what is the actual divergence, what approximate beam diameters for both green and IR at 1 - 5 - 10 m ?

How wide does the IR component of the beam usually spread in such a cheap laser ? In terms of diameter (spot width) over distance, say at 1, 10 and 100 m ? Is there only a direct beam IR component of the same basic shape as the green component only (much ?) wider or are there also other types...

So it's all those things together actually (aggravated by the fact it's invisible) ? How wide does the IR component of the beam in such a cheap laser usually spread ? In terms of diameter over distance or any other ? Also thanks for your reply.

Hi, I am interested in this laser pointer model (200 mW from DX). I've read about its problems particularly the poor IR filters. What are the exact dangers of it not having IR filters ? Is it the reflections on nearby surfaces, chain reflections in air / vapours, does the IR component have a...
