Re: G1 Arctic 1W 445nm Laser Best Offer? Would $150 including shipping sound fair?

Re: G1 Arctic 1W 445nm Laser Best Offer? No it does not come with charger or the goggle. Well i guess i can include the goggle for extra $10. Shipping it from Raleigh, NC I tested out the laser today, the power was measured to be around 740mW w/ laserbee. But the battery was low. So i'd...

Thanks for your response. Just to clarify, are you talking about pushing the 1W 445nm laser diode to 2W and even 3.2W? or are you talking about a different diode?

Wow now i feel retarded for killing a diode connecting it straight to a 9V battery when i first started.

Is nichia 1W the most powerful 445nm laser diode? Someone build a 3.2W 445nm labby according to one of the post. So i just wanted to ask around and see if there are really such powerful laser diodes.

If i connect two 18650 batteries in parallel, i should be able to draw 1.5Amp from each of the batteries safely to get a total draw of 3 Amps right? What if say I connect two O-Like 1W 445nm laser drivers in parallel? I believe they are rated at 1.2 Amp, so i can safely draw 2.4A of current...

Hi, Nice laser. You just inspired me. I would like to build one of these. Where do you find a 3.2 W 445nm laser diode?

So if build a couple lasers with Key lock ignition system will it be legal to sale? How do i get FDA approval? Does WickedLasers have FDA approval?

Re: G1 Wicked Arctic 4 Sale I'm not getting many views. Should i delete this post and repost this and include "1W 445nm Laser" in the title? would that be against the rules?

Wait i thought 18650 are 3.7V? DealExtreme: $6.83 UniqueFire 18650 3.7V "2500mAh" Lithium Batteries (2-Battery Pack) So initially i thought 2x will give me 7.4V. and i can use voltage divider to get like 5V. Anyways, We built a AC to DC power supply last semester with variable DC voltage...

Hi, I own both a G1 and a G2. Since Smartchip is simply more badass, i'm selling the G1. i'm new here. so i'm not exactly sure how much it sales for or how much i should be asking for. The laser is USED of course. It may have a minor problem. Last time i used it was the beginning of the...

Dudde your a DJ thats awesome lol. I wish i can be both a geek and as cool as you are. What clubs do you dj at? I work with the owner of Untapped Energy and pro promote our drinks at different clubs every week and knock redbull off their shelves.

So as far as most people understand, the sales of lasers is illegal to some extend depending on its power and location. What about the sales of laser diodes and other components such as drivers...etc?

For the record, i feel very embarrassed asking this question considering that i'm majoring in EE. So the question is why do we need a complex driver to regulate current? I mean can't we just use a resistor to get the current we want? For example, if i want to power a 1W 445nm laser diode. i...

It is quite immature, but the application is simply burning stuff. I've always figured a 1w 808nm laser diode will burn much more than a 1W 445nm or other visible light laser diode simply because 808nm is infrared meaning it is pure heat. But i can't think of an object that will reflect heat...

Thank you for your advice. It's very useful. Well do you have any recommendation to what laser diode i should be using instead? i don't plan on using it for dpss for now. just trying to build a high power portable laser. The more power the better. I guess it will also have to be single mode if...

So after my second year as EE at NCSU, i'm ready to construct a high power 808nm portable laser. This is the biggest and most exciting project i've ever taken, so i'd really appreciate some advices/help. Lathing and driver construction will probably be the biggest issue i'm facing. I can get...

I found these very useful. Thank you for posting them.
