    What wave lenght for white

    The laser is on for such a short time, and the disk is spinning so fast, that everything is kept intact. Btw, in case you didn't know, the way that disks (CD, DVD, Blu-Ray) work is that a laser makes tiny etchings on the surface that correspond to 1's and 0's. Every wonder why the disk is warm...

    Laser Losing Strength?

    Yeah, the 18650 will be a tight fit at best for my F22.... So I'll go with the AW 14500 (IMR).... I have an ultrafire charger that came with the batteries. Is it alright with the IMR or should I get a charger from AW?

    Laser Losing Strength?

    okay. I saw (jayrob's I think) 1.5W 445 build in an F22 regular, so I'm guessing that he used 2 16340's? EDIT: It's DTR's (same guy who sold my my module) and he didn't mention what kind of battery he was using. Stainless Steel F22 Build EDIT AGAIN: In another reply post, he said he was...

    Laser Losing Strength?

    Ahhh.... So are 18650's better than 14500's? And will an 18650 fit in my F22? Here are the measurements: Overall length (without assault crown): 10.1 cm Inside Diameter: 1.99 cm Available Inside Length with Module/Heatsink Installed: 7.5 cm Will it work? And if not: I have a C6 coming in...

    Laser Losing Strength?

    Hi everyone! As you all may know, I recently finished my 1W, 445nm build, and now I have a bit of a problem :( It seems as if my laser is not anywhere near as strong as it was when I first started out. I have 1W Blue Laser Module from DTR, an aluminum heatsink that fits my F22 host, and I'm...

    Why are you fascinated with everything LASER?

    Okay, here's my reason for obsession: When I see a laser, I can't help but marvel at how... beautiful it is. I always am awestruck by how perfect a laser is. Especially the 445 wavelength. The way little particles of dust suddenly glow as the laser heats them up, then slowly fade like embers...

    Learn From Mistakes That Can Happen To Anybody...

    I was screwing the front end of my F22 on after putting in a fresh battery, when the laser came on and burned my hand (not badly, but I dropped the tail section). I had forgotten that I had left the switch in the "on" position after the battery went out. Lesson here is to never have and part...

    Great Laser Pointer Case!

    That's a nice one :) I have a leather case with a little elastic band that fits my F22 and a pocket that I put my goggles in, but it originally held a bunch of international plug adapters :) Goes to show, the strangest things end up being perfect for our individual needs.

    Laser for Star Pointing

    Thanks! :) Technology has most certainly replaced a LOT of traditional culture, not just in Korea, but everywhere in the world.

    Laser for Star Pointing

    Korea was really, really nice. I arrived at the seoul airport really late at night, and that glowing orb thingy above the terminal was spectacular. I stayed in Seoul the first night (amazed by the people watching TV in the subway). But for the rest of my stay I was in Deijon and Gwanshu (I...

    Laser for Star Pointing

    Thanks for the advice! However, I've been to Seoul and the light pollution there is atrocious. Luckily for me, small-town Texas is nice and dark at night :)

    Laser for Star Pointing

    I read one of your other posts and ordered some QQ-Tech lasers that seem nice :) I have a C3 host sitting around that I've never gotten to, so I'll probably just take apart the greenie and hook it up in the C3. As for the other two, I've always wanted a 405 pointer :) Thanks for the Lazerer...

    Laser for Star Pointing

    Hey guys! After successfully completing my first DIY build (1W 445nm in F22 host), I got a call from my friend asking to see how it turned out. To make a long story short, he was very, very impressed and asked how I had built it, etc. Anyway, his birthday is coming up, and I wanted to build...

    F22 Flashlight Modes

    The flashlight driver (the one that sits near the LED) is totally gone. But I have a hunch that there's a SECOND driver near the tail switch. EDIT--- If there is another driver, I can't access it, and like I said before, I removed the original driver completely. EDIT AGAIN----- Just...

    F22 Flashlight Modes

    Hey everyone! I just finished building my 1W, 445 nm laser inside an f22 host. Now, I'm very,very annoyed right now because the 5 modes the flashlight has by default are still happening with the laser! How do I get them to stop, and just have the light on high beam steady all the time?

    Laser cutting potential

    Please know that I'm by no means an expert; lasers are just my hobby :) And by the way, are high-power lasers legal to own in China?

    Laser cutting potential

    Yeah, people actually use bricks and stuff as laser beamstops, precisely because they are very resistant to laser energy.
