15. just got my permit. :eek:

To own, yes. To import, no. They also need a delay on startup, an aperture cover, an indicator LED, and an interlock thing, IIRC, to be legal to import. (Unless laws have changed that is) 99% sure you'll still get your laser though.

They're not really easier to get, but they're both legal to import, because they have the 5 safety features the FDA requires for class IIIB lasers and above. Thus, there's next to no chance of it getting seized at customs.

It is illegal to import lasers into the US with an output of over 5mW, unless it has safety features to comply with the FDA. That being said, there's a very small chance that a laser would be seized at customs, and I believe Nova, Dragon Lasers, and most other respectable company would just send...

If you want a good quality pen style greenie, check out the X series from Nova Lasers, a branch of LaserGlow. It's the same model as the Viper from Dragonlasers, as they both get their products from CNI. Nova is located in Canada, which may be a good thing for you, depending on where you live...

I can pretty easily see the IR coming from my tv remote in dimmer light conditions. I don't have a UV source to check the other side of the spectrum with though.

I still can't get over how good that heatsink is.

Awesome pictures. :drool: I'm so tempted to build a RGB.

I love the golden colour of 589nm. Only colours I've seen personally though are 532nm and 650nm. :/

If you do end up using a CO2 laser, it should be noted that cutting kevlar with a CO2 laser produces cyanide. (According to Sam's Laser FAQ)

Re: My 445nm Build with the 18650 Aurora SS R2 Cree From Jayrob!!! "Picture Heavy" Awesome build. I would like to see it when you boost the current. Put a shoop da whoop face on the third to last one. :evil:

Amazing. :drool: Makes me want to get into laser shows.

I'm within an hour from the Twin Cities.

Here in Minnesota it hasn't rained since April. Really, really, dry. We need rain. It's been pretty warm though-usually 75*F

Amazing photography. :)

I read this yesterday in the "Latest Headlines" in the FF toolbar. Very interesting.

They may provide a lower voltage, but rechargables actually sustain their voltage for a lot longer than alkalines. Unless you switch out batteries when they're 25% drained, rechargables are the way to go. Lithiums are best, but considerably more expensive.

There's a channel on the local TV network that is a Charter Communications thing. When my dad was flipping through the channels, there was a Windows style error in the middle of the screen, saying something about a system failure. I took a picture, but it's on my phone, and I don't have a way to...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3di1Btb6LbA The video I uploaded on Youtube made by Cyparagon currently has around 22.5k views and 113 comments. I have had a link in the description, and as an annotation since I uploaded the video. I just put a "watermark" with an annotation that lasts the...

I prefer Black Teal, but Backslash is good too.
