I'm not sure, but I think that leadlights might come with 500mW diodes... All of this really depends on crystal efficiency. You can pump more power into the crystal, but at a certain point, called the saturation point if i remember right, the crystal will not take in any more IR and the...

well, my dvd laser is a sucess, finally. ill up some pics a bit later. it reads 210mW average in the power meter. i also got permission to get a pool table for christmas, not a table, but a note allowing me to buy one, SCORE! ;D

125 is too unstable for burning, go with 95.

i dont care how "tactical" a lighter is, its not worth 100 bucks...
