    Spartan 447nm 1W takes longer to ship than expected...

    The tracking showed that it was a valid number but had no information. That was the first time I tried it, almost a day after I got the e-mail. I think it was like 3 days later it showed foreign acceptance. That was over 2 weeks ago so my memory is fuzzy, haha.

    Spartan 447nm 1W takes longer to ship than expected...

    Woohoo! My laser arrived today! Ordered 8/12, Shipped 9/1, Received 9/17... 21 days processing, 17 days shipping, 38 days total. The laser is very solid feeling and well-balanced. It may be more plain than alternatives, but I really like the host because it feels and looks like a professional...

    Spartan 447nm 1W takes longer to ship than expected...

    USPS is slow internationally because it's not an express package. It's the priority "parcel post" has -- it gets there when it gets there. I really hope DL finds a way to use an express courier to the USA in the future; their USA customers will appreciate it. My latest tracking update, in case...

    I'm new, but i had a great idea dealing with 445 goggles

    That response is valid to the topic, but not valid to my argument, so I'm not sure why it was posted as a reply to me directly. My argument concerns the ethics of discussing methods for improvising your own safety glasses, and of using ones that prove equal to commercially available sets. More...

    I'm new, but i had a great idea dealing with 445 goggles

    I thought it had been established that proper protection is necessary first. I don't think anybody disagrees with that. The idiot is anyone who accepts any type of substitute for said proper protection, without thoroughly testing it to prove equal first. Perhaps kids legally do not have the...

    I'm new, but i had a great idea dealing with 445 goggles

    I agree that nothing here (or anywhere) trumps safety. That said, each persons safety is their own responsibility. Any self-constructed eyewear should be tested on an individual basis to meet or exceed the same parameters that certified glasses do before even considering treating them as...

    I'm new, but i had a great idea dealing with 445 goggles

    Jeez, Ben, you sure have managed to summon opposition! I'm a little surprised since the motto here seems to be "build it yourself". Perhaps that only applies to things they've already tried... or perhaps it's just a liability bandwagon? Either way... Maybe theater gels will work, or maybe it'll...

    Spartan 447nm 1W takes longer to ship than expected...

    Yup, mine shows expired too. The USPS site says no such thing, so I think that's just PackageTrackr's way of saying the data is old. Not worried about it.

    Spartan 447nm 1W takes longer to ship than expected...

    I requested some form of express shipping and was told by their online chat rep that they only use USPS to the USA because EMS to the USA was unreliable. I don't know what specifically makes it unreliable, but suspect it may be a higher ratio of problems with customs.

    Dragon Lasers Spartan ~1W 445nm

    Thanks for the review and pics. I can't wait to get mine. Definately don't recommend it as a self-defense weapon though. Remember, this is 2010 -- we live in a weak and weeping society that thinks it's okay for a robber to sue you for shooting him for trying to rob you. Years ago that concept...

    Spartan 447nm 1W takes longer to ship than expected...

    I'm sure a lot of people are dissatisfied from WL and switching over. I ordered an Arctic on 6/16, order number 501xx. I put up with lies and mystery delays for almost two months -- the nail in the coffin was when their customer service representative was outright rude in the online support...

    Sure I don't mind doing that for you. I will not be going the weekend of the 4th, rather one of the ones after, and don't know which one yet. I do have an eBay account. 100% feedback and premier paypal account. If I did, it would of course come with no warranty or support of any kind from me...

    LOTS OF LASERS & OTHER STUFF FOR SALE by HERUUR

    Finally, something near me! Every time I see something happening posted on the internet, it's some place hundreds of miles away. I'm in SE Wisconsin and will make it a point to stop by sometime!

    I found one of these at the dumpster. What to do with it?

    Nice find! The mirror assembly is held onto the shaft by a little flat metal piece. That piece is slightly too large on one side and is rotated so that the too-large end presses against the mirror assembly mount and pinches the shaft. Once tightened that way, friction is the only thing holding...
