Okay You clearly have a problem with me. I don't get what it is... But.. In the most eloquent terms I can muster... I don't give a **** what you think. I am going to do something worthwhile. More worthwhile than e-stalking people on a laser forum. (kinda sad, if you think about it) I'll get...

Au contraire. FINISHED lasers over 5mW are banned from SALE. My the lasers I'm planning on selling are not finished. They still require some assembly.

Thanks! I'll put a photo of my finished laser in my signature (First class IV, so proud of myself :D) And it'll fit. I specifically designed everything to fit inside the casing of a standard 12mm Aixiz.

Firstly, My forum name comes from a PC game I enjoy (Spore, EA, 2006) I've used this name in a bunch of different places, and you're the first one to find something strange about it. And I have no idea what that picture is supposed to be.... Secondly, I live in Texas.

Laser Accident Database Case: Year: Country: 7934 1999 Israel Woman deliberately stared into a commercial class 2 laser pointer for approximately 10 seconds. The patient's best-corrected visual acuity was 20/40, and she had two small pericentral scotomata, as well as a hypopigmented...

Hey Everyone! Okay, to start off with: I live in a small town >100k people, and there is NOWHERE within 100 miles that you can get "laser stuff". I've also noticed a not-insignificant demand among the local community for a local "laser shop" if you will. If I sell, everything will be...

"When fear is eliminated, there is equality" O_O In any case, there is an important lesson of human psyche to consider: If a man goes to a karate class, and becomes a black belt, he does not simply kill his wife in a fit of sudden rage. The discipline required for him to achieve his black...

Re: WTS: 1W 445nm "pocket mini kit" Blue Laser Okay, here are some quick statistics for you: 1W= 1,000mW standard laser pointer= 5mW minimum power to burn= ~100mW Lights matches in ~3 sec= 200mW Cuts electrical tape= 300mW Pops ballons on contact= 500mW Burns wood= 700mW Cuts through...

I found this on CajunLasers after noticing the "Page 2" button :D Would it work?

Wow... that's incredibly expensive.... :) So, can you recommend some sites that sell host/heatsink kits? I've already seen CajunLasers (not exactly the styles I like), any others like it?

Any flashlights with heatsinks that are ready to use out-of-the-box?

When I said "stock", I meant the one that came with the Ultrafire :D So, it would be worth it to get a custom heatsink? EDIT-------------- Can I use any of the pre-made ones instead of getting custom?

I'm using an Ultrafire WF-503c Is the stock heatsink enough? Especially since I'll be firing the laser in short bursts....

The laser parts are on order from ebay, so I don't have a pic yet :( THIS is the link to what my module will be when I finish assembling it. As for measurements, it's all contained in a standard Aixiz housing

Oh, and also, I can't use one of those "box" heatsinks, as this laser needs to be portable.
