But its just annoying and stupid that they are educating people with wrong information. I guess we can all feel superior inside that we know the 'truth'

As the title asks? Why is Blu-Ray called Blu-Ray? I googled it and navigated to Sony's website. "Why is it called Blu-ray? Answer: It is called Blu-ray because the laser that is used to write and read data is blue instead of red or infrared which is used for CD and DVD. It is spelt Blu...

I put over $1000 into my PayPal for a purchase yesterday and my PayPal account became "limited" so i could not use it to send money until i filled in further info, scanned and upload driver licence and utility bill with address on it. After i did this they called to confirm it was me that...

I'm in melb to. I first bought a 50mw torch green from DX but it got confiscated by customs (warning letter). My friend has got one through though. The amount of laser pointers being imported and confiscated is growing very fast. I dont think my laser pointer was tested by customs. but you...

Although i was asking to help my knowledge, it was also for others reference. I got a 150mw, However without a LPM i believe its <100mw (Due to its burning/no fog beam shots). (If you can show of a >150mw, DPSS 532mn, 12mm module (portable for host) . Please let us know :bowdown:. guess im...

Rather than start a new thread thought id ask the question here. Q:When 'pot modding' how much do you turn your pot clockwise, and what results do you get? I know that generally you would only turn in 1/8 increments but, when people talk about successful pot modding and destroyed diodes. how...

What is the difference between using a NiMH and a Lithuim / Li-ion, and it's impact on mode hopping ?

I can adjust the focus lens so the dot is solid, however the divergence becomes bad. approx 20mm @ 5m. other option is to focus it so the "mode hopping" becomes apparent once warm, and begins to hop from TEM 00 - TEM 10 - TEM 20. At the moment the module isn't in a host. I'm ordering a eghemus...

i removed the glue seen holding the focus lens and played around with it abit. seems the beem stays tighter now, however beam isnt as strong. think the batteries are going flat. gonna wait for my host and 18650 to arrive in the next week or two then i'll do a review.

Did you end up getting one? I got the laserlands 150mw but the beam spreads after it warms up. doesnt burn my matchs either, but cuts tape.

yer i also wanted to do a higher power DIY. Can you purchase directly from CNI laser? They have a series that goes up to 800mw. Although its not your normal 12mm, I dont see why this wouldn't work in a custom host. http://www.cnilaser.com/PDF/PGL-H-532.pdf

temporarily; 3x AA NiMH 1.2v Fully charged multimeter read 4.1Volt Waiting on my 18650 to be delivered.

Hi I just received my new 150mw module from laserlands and after powering it up im not sure its 150mw. i dont have a power meter. It does burn electrical tape slowly but cannot ignite a match. Beam is visible in low light areas. But more so after it warms up the beam splits. after about 5 -...

Hi, My first review here. I had order a 50mw green torch from DX (SD301) but it got confiscated by AUS Customs). So i decided to order a green module from a DIY build. After speaking with Marry from LASERLANDS i decided i would get a 150mw module. But before ordering this, i would try my luck...

I pm'd him a few weeks ago about a build i am just starting. i Showed him a pic of something he had built for someone else before and told him that's what i wanted. It was to suit a 12mm 532mn green module and needed a 18650 cell. he said it was $45 posted. If you tell him the diode you have and...

Im in Aus. i bought the 50mw torch from DX, customs took it. I then order a 10mw module and fitted it to an LED host i had lying around. Next im gonna get a 150mw and do the same. If you buy a module and fit it to a host yourself you will not regret it. There's more pride in having built...

If your apart of a 'astronomy' club, the permit is to import ONE laser only. I ordered a DX 50mw Torch. Customs took it. They didn't state its output power on the letter. Letter is a A4 form sheet they address to you with a brief on it then a carbon copy filled out by customs officer which...

Arn't 18650 a li-ion, not a li-po? In my case, my options are 1x 18650 or 3x "C size" NiMH's. 18650 - 2500mAh~ 3.7v 3x C NiMH - 8000mAh~ 3.6v-3.7v I realise that the size of the host will be much larger to accompany these batteries but this OK. I just want the best performing battery setup...

I found out by searching NiMH discharge graphs that a full charge of a NiMH cell will be close to 1.4v but only for a VERY short time before dropping off and sitting at around 1.25v (Depending on current draw). So 3x 1.25v = 3.75v. Pretty much the same/similiar to a 18650. Between the 2...

Hello all, I'm new to LPF and currently planing/starting my first DIY Green Module build. Just have a quick question in regards with the supply(cell) power source. I'm planning on using module 150mw 532nm 3.5v - 4.2v. I have searched but couldn't find a direct comparison between the 2. What...
