Thank you RedCowboy. That’s a bit upsetting, it’s the only LPM reasonable priced I can find locally. Yes, I have been considering the LaserBee and Sanwu units. Alas, postage costs and import charges into the U.K. will put those in the $500+ range. I like to have a LPM that can measure up to 20...

Yes, sorry I forgot to mention that it is a LPM, what I like to know (please forgive my ignorance) is if it will work with visible diode lasers. Cheers!

Thank you Paul. Yeah, that’s what I figured. I’ve been making some numbers, and it looks like I will be better off buying locally. Will a CO2 unit work with diode lasers too? There’s a few for around £250 that I’ve been looking at...

I am new to the forum and so, we don’t know each other, Barry. Still, It always concerning when I hear of people’s health battles. I like to take the opportunity to wish you a speedy recovery, and I hope you can return to your home and loved ones soon. Cheers.

Yep, the Tracer was $280 yesterday morning. I will not be buying it with a price hike of $70. from one day to the next. No I haven’t. if he has an LPM, He may chime in when he reads the thread. Cheers!

Than you Paul. I appreciate the offer but yeah, not practical. Shame we live several thousands miles away. Cheers. @Encap. That’s odd, the Tracer was $280 last time I looked. Just took a look again and it has jumped up to $350. 🤔 Anyway, I’m only thinking about it. Will look at my options...

Well, They sure are not “toy quality” In fact, I am quite impressed with their cost/quality ratio. As I have said in previous posts, I want to measure output, because I am curious to find out real vs claimed. Also, other member have indicated interest in knowing too. As I have said before, I...

Here‘s a pic of the green one. Target is about 15 meters away. Sorry about the quality, it is raining a little and I didn’t want to hung about in the garden. Looks bright enough to me.

That’s my understanding, and the reason I asked if someone close to me with a LPM wanted to chime in and help on my first post. ‘Alas, we are on page three and no joy. Looks like I will have to buy one myself. LaserBee will be much too expensive once I add shipping and customs fees.. I am...

Pretty much. Had to put the lasers away as my mates were getting dangerous... Was a good night tho! Took a (what I think) is a very funny picture, it’s on the pictures forums, check it out when you have some time. Cheers!

Thank you buddy. You are a nice guy! We all have our ups and downs, no big deal. Cheers!

Well, he has been on the level all along. I can‘t check, the diode is tightly encased, and I might have to break the host to get it out. But so far, I have no reason to doubt him. The beam is certainly strong and bright. We got pissed last night and didn’t take pictures of 520nm beam after all...

I agree, Still, these kind of measuring methods are a good introduction to the concept for the uninitiated. And they teach math which is always a good thing ;) Cheers!

Hello, Francis. Could you advise of estimated time of availability for the Tracer 20w LPM? Cheers!

This will be a little more accurate. Still no wh near a proper spectromete, but you can use it at a pinch.

Thank you RC. Will dip into DIY once I gain a bit more knowledge and confidence. Yes, so far, I’ve been using relatively low power lasers for Astronomy pointing and mount set up/tracking. And specialized low power units for Telescope collimation. Mainly red and green. These are my first medium...

Than you RedCowboy. Yes, it can be focused. Lighting fireworks is not going to be their only job, we are just having some fun (we’ve been carful and safe) and though it will be cool to light the fireworks with it. These will be eventually mainly used for pointing at celestial objects during...

Seller has just comeback to me. Lens is glass, single element. Heat sink is brass. So, not too bad at all. Now, if I could only get hold of an LPM to confirm power levels 🤔...

Thank you, Encup. Yep, looks like I’ve paid a little too much. Still, no import charges or long wait and they came with batteries and a case...not to bad for my first incursion into ‘fun’ lasers. I am sure having some fun with them as we speak, and a good night out can run into the multi hundred...

Bring it on Alien scum... 😂
