Snecho, I guess I'm being thick-headed. So if the beam is not passing through the lens, at all, some sort of light is still passing through?

OK - I get that. In my case with the UVEX glasses I have, if absolutely no light passes through them what would the OD rating be? I'm certainly not going to put them on and look directly at the beam. So how would I know what the OD rating is? I know, I know - it SHOULD be printed on the glasses...

Help me better understand the OD factor. I thought it determined the amount of light that passed through - no? How can I test the OD factor? Remember, zero light passes through, at least to the naked eye. Ponz

Guys, I am, by no means, trying to be argumentative. I'm merely sharing what I've learned. Isn't that what this forum is all about? I have 3 pair of these glasses and sacrificed one pair for testing. As hwang21 stated, yes the plastic is absorbing the heat and they did in fact char, melt...

I understand everything you guys are saying. Check out my test results please: 1) If I shine my low power < 200 mw green pointer though the lens of these glasses I can see a faint green dot on the wall behind the glasses. 2) If I shine the 5 WATT blue pointer through the lens of these glasses...

I have a pair of UVEX SCT ORANGE XTR SCT SPECTRUM - #S1933X I just bought a 5 WATT Blue. Will these suffice? Thanks, Ponz

Received my home-build from Rich (Lifetime17). Very Impressive! Quick question. I haven't bought goggles 'yet'. Following a burn or three, I notice a temporary orange spot with my vision. Is this normal? Yes, Yes, I realize how powerful it is and I'm ordering goggles now. I have two pair of...

18650, CR123A or 18340 - please

Batteries! Higher drain with lower mA OR lower drain with higher mA? Ponz Edit: Forgot to mention - my primary laser will be a homebuilt 5+ Watt Blue

OK Guys! I can rest easy now Lifetime17 is building me one! Ponz

I know your recommendations for retailers - but does this sound too good to be true? http://wildlaser.com/product/strongest-powerful-military-grade-5000mw-blue-laser-pointer-flashlight-with-3-modes-and-free-charger-battery Ponz

I watched this video yesterday. How difficult would it be for someone like me with poor soldering skills to get some of the equipment needed, here, from forum members with a little tutelage? I've unscrewed the nose off and it doesn't look like there's a way to remove the guts! Ponz

Hello again. Is it possible to upgrade this Gatling style host to a more powerful blue? Ponz

It's been a few years since I last posted. Ponz

1 to 2 inches? Is that all without the beam extender?

Question? Is a beam expander for 'near' burning? What are reasonable burning distance with/without a beam expander? I'm looking at a 7 watt blue unit. Also - what is meant by single or multi operational modes? Thanks in advance, Ponz

Yes - and very weak green one! Ponz

Hak, I was reading the reviews over at Jetlasers. One guy mentioned import fees. Can you elaborate on that at all? Thanks - Ponz

Lots of luck with that reply. I'll never do business there again. TOTAL ripoff

Here's the ad that duped us: https://torchexproc.com/pages/aluminux Mine won't even warm a piece of black newspaper! Mine is green - not blue and transmits no heat at all! My Mastercard Co. is reimbursing me the $37.50, but I'm unsure if they're taking it back from the rip-off company or...
