I ordered 5 feet of yellow #2 heatshrink tubing from flaminpyro a couple of days ago and I received it today! Flaminpyro was nice enough to give me a little sample of his silicon wiring to see what it's like and it is awesome, for future builds I will purchase from him. It was great doing...

Hello LPF! the other day an idea came to me while i was using my lasers. The idea is a glove with front surface mirrors attached to the finger tips, and whole face of your hand while you wear a wrist strap that has the laser beam exit under your wrist and be able to hit the mirrors on your hand...

Thanks yobresal for the blue ice JAD kit. Shipping was fast, around 3 days from purchase to arrival. Product came as described and in perfect condition. I would also like to thank DTR for the quick shipping of one of his m140 diodes. Diode was ordered same day as yobs blue ice kit and arrived...

Hey so I got the blue ice JAD kit from yobresal, and an m140 diode from dtr. I wasn't able to make this diode more than flush with the Heatsink. I connected to driver leads to the correct pins of the diode. (Red wire is positive right?) Here is what it looks like after trying to press the diode...

I got the blue ice JAD kit from yob and an m140 diode from dtr. The kit says its a direct press Heatsink no aixiz module required. How do I get this diode more than flush in this Heatsink?

So I purchased a yobresal blue ice had kit and it says it requires 2x 16340's does anyone know if I can instead use 2x cr123 rechargeable 3.2v batts? If not where can I find the best 16340's that are rechargeable and compatible with 1.2A buck driver

Hey LPF, I ordered Yobresal's Blue ICE JAD kit, and it comes with a "direct press heatsink" does this mean that I just put my bare m140 diode into it using a rag covered vice? or do I need to be very careful and do it some other way? I'm looking very forward to assembling this kit.

So I am building an lpc826 red laser around 300mW @ 650nm. Where can I find good safety glasses for this wavelength at an affordable price with a quick ETA to California USA.

Hey guys so first of all I want to point out that I am not new to lasers as all. I already have a collection of lasers. I own a 447nm 1W and I know how to safely operate high powered lasers. This will be my first time building a laser though. Anyways, I want to build a 650nm burning red laser...

Hey everyone so I have been fascinated with lasers since about age 13. I bought my first greeny from deal extreme it was advertised as 25mW I never used goggles but I never shined it directly in my eyes but ever since I was 14 I have a tiny black blur in my vision it looks like those circles...

So I own a pair of dragonlasers safety glasses they work very well but since they are glasses I can still see some blue light in my lower peripherals. Since they are glasses I can see blue light from under my nose. I am looking for "goggle" styled safety wear. Something that looks like...

This is my first review here on LPF so go easy on me. Shipping: For starters: I ordered my Spartan 1Watt 447nm Blue laser from dragonlasers.com on 8/9/12 for $240+shipping+safety glasses cost. After having issues paying with my debit card, I emailed Frank from dragonlasers and he let me use...

Why is it that most laser company websites offer 1Watt 445's for almost DOUBLE the price of what builders here on this forum sell their builds for. For example 1Watt spartan from Dragonlasers = $240 I saw someone selling a 1.2W "Blue Ice" laser here on the forums for $120~ So why are the...

So I received a 1watt blue laser the other day, I got safety glasses with it but I'm wondering if I can shine it inside without it hitting a mirror like object and look at the dot without glasses. Of course I'm not going to look at the dot from like a foot away but how about 5-20 feet away? Is...

Why is the FDA associated with lasers, and laser safety? I though FDA is the FOOD and DRUG association. Lasers are neither food or drugs lol. Sorry if it's a stupid question, but when I told my friends about the FDA regulations on lasers they looked at me as if I was stupid.

I was looking at Yourlasers.com red 200mw laser for 41$. Are their lasers On spec?

So I am new to building lasers, and for my first project I would like to build a 100~mW violet laser. I will use a PHR-803T sled diode, an Aixiz Module, and a set 100mA driver. I am pretty sure I can build this laser, as styropyro has a great tutorial for how to make it. I think this will be a...

So I purchased the 1watt spartan from dragonlasers for $240. I look on the buy/sell/trade section here on LPF, and I notice people selling 1watt+ lasers for nearly half the price of the dragonlasers spartan. Are dragonlasers CNI lasers way better than the ones sold by builders here? Or should...

Hey LPF, First off I would like to start out by saying that I am fascinated with lasers, I own a 75mW 532nm Viper from dragonlasers and I have had it for over a year now. Recently I have become even more interested in laser and now I am waiting for my 1Watt 445nm Spartan (along with the safety...

Hello LPF this is my first post. I'm glad I found this forum, i have learned a lot about lasers. I am not really new to lasers, my first laser was a cheapy 5mW green laser (probably without IR filter..), as I learned more and grew more interested in lasers I purchased the 75mW viper 532nm laser...
