I have asked for updates in PMs to Glenn several times. Others have asked for updates on this discussion. I haven't seen any update that says we need X number more 447s or anything like that. If we were just told exactly how many more were needed or a target date maybe I wouldn't have worried...

Obviously I realized it does take time. That is why I canceled my order.

Well it's been almost a month since I sent in my $295 for the 447nm laser and it's been over a week since I asked for a refund. No laser and no refund. Glenn - you need to get your act together. You haven't placed the GB with CNI yet so there should be no reason that those funds are not...

Time to submit the GB order to CNI . . . .

What is the status of this GB ? How close is the order to being placed ? How many more purchases do you need before you can actually place the order ? Most importantly, how long will it take for the lasers to be delivered to our homes ? It is a race - I have my Arctic G1, now I'm waiting for...

Have you seen the new Wicked Lasers Arctic 1W laser ? Check it out. I just ordered one. Looks to be an excellent deal - only $197.97 It is called the Spyder III Pro Arctic. It's a new product so if you order now shipping will be free. Portable Blue Laser from Wicked Lasers - Spyder III Pro...

I have had my P808L-1600 at 1600mW laser for a little over 8 months and I love it. It is such a good portable IR laser. If you purchase one, you will not be disappointed. Unfocused I can burn at 4 feet or so. Focused, I can burn the white walls of my apartment. It is intense ! The 2W would...

Did you use a black marker to color the match head black ? The RPL-400 & RPL-425 can light a match head even if it is white (I have done that many times before with my RPL-400 which outputs an average of 485mW). There should be no need to color it black.

The only complaint I would have with this laser is that it does not have a clean beam. Look at the part of the video where you are burning the square paper with the black square. Now look behind the paper. You can see all the scatter that is probably from the lens. I had this same complaint...

My Sky 808nm +1600mW laser can create a flame on the white walls in my apartment.  I will try to cut a white styrofoam cup this weekend and let you know what happens. I hope it doesn't catch on fire . . . .

I would have to say, since July 2007, I have spent somewhere between $5000 - $6000 on lasers and their accessories.

I did - stupid me. I should have read all the details on shipping & EMS. Oh well - live and learn.

Well . . . my first order from DX was the 200mW green pen style laser and guess what ? Customs got it in CA. and that was sometime last year. I received paperwork if I wanted to claim the item and pay some fees and the court costs. I never responded.

I received my Viasho Laser Power Meter (VLP-2000) about a week or so ago.  It is a nice and simple meter to use.  Jack, at Optotronics, has checked it out and measured it against the Coherent LaserCheck and the Fieldmaster GS laser power meters with very consistent results.  ...

I will try to have the pictures by the weekend. Sorry for making everyone wait.
