Thanks Matt. Do I just go to that section and ask who makes them or do the builders advertise?

I've narrowed the field in my quest for a blue laser. My budget is right at the 200 dollar mark and i've pretty much decided to go with olike. Please take a look at my choices below and let me know which one i'd be better off with. Thanks. 1. Real 1W 445nm blue Laser...

Also, I'm more interested in a diode laster rather than a DPSS.

Who here on the forum is making them and how can I get in touch with them?

Well then maybe the good folks here can assist since I'm more versed on green lasers than I am on the blues. I'm basically just wanting something powerful enough to be able to get a decent beam out of and not necessarly a lot of burning power. My understanding is that the blue beams aren't...

Ok so i've never heard of Olike but I just visited their website and they seem to have some pretty well priced blue lasers. What can you all tell me about them and more importantly, should I spend my money with them?

So is it a safe bet to say that if it's just "beam" i'm after that I should just stay with green and perhaps get a slightly higher powered one than my curren 50mW model?

I bought my first laser about 4 years ago. It is an x45 from NOVA. It's been great and now i'm looking to buy my first blue laser. However I'm a bit confused over what's exactly out there these days. I've seen the lower powered ones all the way up to the 1W's. Here are my points of interest...

I have an x45 from NOVA. It's just over a year old and it's starting to take it forever to get up to full power. It starts out with a very dim dot and then slowly works its way up in brightness. I just put new batteries in it and it still struggles. Is the diode dying on me or could it be dirty?

I think my problem is solved. As I was inspecing the laser, I noticed the aperature cap was loose. I tightened it up and everything seems to be working fine now.

Glad to see another happy NOVA customer. I got my x45 a week ago and have been very happy. Now I just need to start buying accessories to fill the case with.

Yes, I do think part of it may be an illusion based on my concerns. But to clarify exactly what happened last night...the output did indeed drop off to basically nothing. I was pointing the beam in the sky for a demonstration and then the beam just disappeared. I then aimed it at the brick on my...

The demonstrations were mostly small burning demos and beam demos in the sky. The duty cycle is 100 seconds although I never got close to it...usually stopping after about 50-60 seconds. The only thing I can think of is that the humid conditions outside might have been affecting the power...

So as most of you know, I received my x45 from NOVA on Monday. It's been a great conversation piece but last night I had my first issue. I was doing some small demonstrations for some guests when all of a sudden the power output dropped off to nothing. I thought the batteries had gone bad so I...

After a week's wait...my x45 from Nova arrived on Monday. I was more than impressed. Peak power is 59.8 with an average output of 56.2. I haven't had time do any experimenting yet but I hope to in the next few days. Any suggestions as to some cool stuff I can try? Also, I have a feeling I may be...

After weeks of research and lots of advice from everyone here, I finally made my first laser purchase. For my beginner model I went with the x45 from Nova. I didn't get the order in until after business hours today so it won't be shipped until Monday. I suppose it may show up by the end of next...

Re: New Raffle !  NEW NOVA X-85 !!!  WITH CA So what is this new item you just have to get your hands on?

This sort of helps me make up my mind. As everyone here knows by now...I've been torn between Nova's x45 and x65 and Dragon's Viper55. Now that Nova's 65 is the same price as DL's 55, it only makes sense to go with the 65. However, Magdalena at Nova knows what I need her to do for me in order to...

You had to know it was coming. Nova, not to be outdone by DL updated their site this morning by dropping their x series prices. I really thought they would have dropped a bit more than they did though. Oh well.

This looks a little too bright to have come from a 35mw. Am I right? http://www.wickedlasers.com/load_pic.php?t=p&f=6d41e73a65b0a82f7ab9136db01ca105.jpg
