    574nm 36 mW Yellow Laser

    Count me in for a GB, too. I'm still waiting on my two I ordered from Freeman just like everyone else, but I'm sure I'm going to want more so I can make some handhelds.

    574nm 36 mW Yellow Laser

    What kind of power supply will I need to run one of these? Just a couple 6V batteries or do I need a variable power supply? What kind of power supply are you guys all using for these? What a time to be alive. 490nm diodes and cheap 575nm DPSS all in this short amount of time. Haven't been...

    Re: CLOSED: Taking payments ROUND 4!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! I came home from work, and I was excited to see that my lasers had been delivered. However, after further inspection, it seems that I was shipped Arshus's order by accident! His three HL's and gifts were contained in the...

    Re: OPEN: Taking orders ROUND 4!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! Hey, offroadfreak8582, I hate to have to do this, but could you take the HL808 - 1000mW off my order? I just realized that I don't have the money to buy that laser (and the proper googles that I'd have to get to go with it)...

    Is this because I didn't take the time to resize the picture? All my other pictures I've posted have been scaled down to 800x600px, but I left this one untouched for better detail. I tried again to capture the interference patterns, but I failed. I can get some on the very edges of the circle...

    My HL405 does not have a green light for the armed position. My only laser from the groupbuys that has the indicator is my HL532. The thing I love about this violet laser is how well shaped the beam is. It's a perfect circle with minimal divergence (exactly what we're here for, right?). My...

    I LPM'd my lasers! My 100mW HL460 hit 92mW. It likes being cold, for I got a 5mW jump after leaving it outside for a couple minutes. I think if I leave the laser outside for a while longer, and then test it, it would hit over 100mW. My 300mW HL532 hit 395mW (this one also likes being cold, but...

    My LaserBee LPM has arrived! I'll measure the lasers I got from the groupbuy and post them here. I'll also update my HL405 review thread with some readings on that, too. I'm almost more excited to have an LPM than I am to have the brand-new lasers!

    It's good to know that 17mm batteries fit, too! Thanks for the info.

    I tried this myself this morning before I saw your post here. The extension fits just fine, but you're right, the HL host is only going to accept 16mm batteries. I sent a message to yobresal to see if he has an 16650 IMRs for sale. I don't expect him to have any, but if he does, I'll be buying a...

    I looked up the Spectruino. It looks pretty cool, and it's a reasonable price. However, the specifications state that it has a 9nm optical resolution. It wouldn't really be able to find freak diodes or accurately determine the difference between 520nm and 515nm (or even 450nm and 460nm) like we...

    I have just a couple thoughts/impressions that I'd like to share. I think it's awesome that the description on the package said "Portable Laser," and that Skylaser's FDA accession number was included on the customs paperwork. It makes it feel, you know, legal. I also enjoy the remote interlock...

    I feel the same way. I took off all the stickers except for the ones with my LPF name. I've put in an order for some new laser warning decals from NickD070, as those are the only stickers I feel are worthy to apply to these beautiful hosts.

    Re: CLOSED! Taking payments. ROUND 2!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! My lasers have been delivered. I must resist the urge to leave work early. It's cool to see how fast these have been shipping, as our packages were in Hong Kong only two days ago! I'll give you guys an update on them...

    Re: CLOSED! Taking payments. ROUND 2!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! Mine just left the Ohio facility, too. The description on mine says "Portable Laser," so it looks like Kevin used his FDA ascension number, and it made it past customs just fine. I wish it had an estimated delivery date...

I set it up so that it sends me a text message every time there is a status update on the tracking number, so I don't have to check it myself every ten minutes! Oh, and my...
