I had a similar problem with lazerpoint. Ordered two lasers and they showed up as shipped in the system complete with tracking number (EMS). After three weeks, it had not showed up nor had the tracking number showed any activity. I sent another email and magically the tracking number started...
Here is a beam shot of the 450nm beside a comparable power 532nm. The picture exaggerates the blueness of the 450 beam. It does not look that blue to the eye.
I have a similar laser. The dot is very bright and round and the beam is visible at night, however, it is not a classical beam like you would see with a green laser. It is a cool blue-black look. I find it very pleasing. The dot is clearly visible out to about 1500 ft. It can be seen further...
I have a CNI GLP-589 that has an issue. No problem with the laser diode, it works fine. However, during my travels, apparently TSA got a little frisky with the host and now the switch on the side no longer functions. Either the host body was twisted so that the switch is permanently depressed or...
I work for a private company doing high temperature materials research. "I could tell you, but..." Fun stuff! I don't regret the time to get here, but it took a while. Hopefully, I can contribute from time to time.
Wannaburnstuff suggested I post here to introduce myself. I've been lurking for about six months and finally decided to join so I could buy c0ldshadow's GLP-589. I'm a materials scientist in RL, so the technical detail here has really kept me interested. Looking forward to more lasers! I just...
I got my two over the weekend but haven't had a chance to post about them since. Doing a side-by-side with the one I bought from etimeshop earlier, I'd say they are roughly identical in output. I don't have an LPM, so I can't give you explicit numbers. I'll try to take a set of beam shots to...
I just picked up two of these 5mw Blue Violet Purple Laser Pointer Fast USA Shipping - eBay (item 110526896347 end time Oct-28-10 02:02:34 PDT) on Wednesday. Shipped Thursday from Baton Rouge, LA. I'll let you know how they compare to one I bought from etimeshop earlier this year. The host looks...
