Welcome to the less dark side! :D I was a regular over at CPF for many many years (TEEJ), so.... I get it. :D

NJ Flasaholic/Laser people are always a good addition. :D

I hope the dust reveals the secret we seek. :D

LOL - No. :D Only one turns like a control, that I saw so far, so, that's the power. (One down, one to go...) Podo said half presses do the modes... so, another ring would be interesting. The potential things to "turn", starting with the butt/switch end, are the butt switch cap... ...

So, one cell at a time, not two 18350's, etc, right?

Thanks! Can you also clarify the cell options? As in, can I use two 18350's with that extension tube, or, will that cause a disruption in the spacetime continuum or other problems, and, I tried one 18650 with the extension tube, but the cell was too short, by a lot, and would not make contact...

I am still waiting to find out what cells to use for what reasons, etc. I received the laser, and the workmanship is amazing, really great. But, with one 18350 is gives a dot, not a bar, and, it blinks on/off, and the dot is not staying on. Turning the power ring doesn't seem to change the...

Its some cool stuff. I first saw some stuff on this back around 2014 or so... and, its fairly mind blowing. Chirality is very interesting as well, and there's a ton of info on it... but things like lemons and limes taste different, even though what you taste is the same chemical, but, the...

I too would be interested in a 1 w mini 532 nm if it's available as an option. :D

Thanks! I ordered a Ranger, style 7, 445 nm 5 w with a BE. After reflection on it all, the striker would be too large to casually carry about, and the Ranger is the right size, and 5 watts 445 is still going to work for me. I have both 18350 and 18650's, and it appears it can put out all 5...

LOL - It showed up as a new post and I did not notice the date. :D

I THINK you might be thinking amps and volts, but they are talking about watts. The drivers can trade amps for volts etc.... so you can get less run time (Fewer milliamp hours) but at higher voltage, etc. :D Anyway, off the top of my head, it sounds a bit like where your head was going? :D

Thanks! If the ring is in the lowest power position when on, and then turned off with the switch, does hitting the switch again make it come on at that lowest setting? And, maybe its the browser, but, I can't blow up the pics of the styles to see the differences/tell them apart.... Could you...

I was looking longingly at the Ranger with ring adjustment of power in the 5w 445 nm.... but, really wanted 7w... And The descriptions of the many many choices for the Ranger's body and trit combos is too confusing (For me at least, but I'm old, etc) The multimode of the strikers seems...

IIRC, the Laserglow's are OD 7 for that range.

Just noting that as far as efficiency, really, a florescent tube UV source works better than LEDs, and so forth. :D

I suppose it would be analogous to the first colonists crossing the Atlantic to colonize America. Some colonies failed, some succeeded. Its a false dichotomy to assert that if we did not go into space, the poor would have more money...as those in poverty did not chip in for the trip, and the...

The limiting factor is not distraction, etc. its economic. Ore, parts, fabrication, use energy to obtain/produce. The "business" of the future, therefore, will be more likely to involve who OWNS the machines that do it all. Your income will simply be derived the same way it always has been...

My thoughts on interstellar travel focus on one aspect: WE MUST DO IT IF WE ARE NOT GOING TO GO EXTINCT. The earth, the sun, well, they will not last forever. Yes, we might have a few billion years before the sun converts to a red giant, etc...but we do not know how long before an asteroid...

Its a false dichotomy actually, in that the space stuff is decontaminated when it returns, TO kill unwanted microbes that might be brought back...(Outside of samples, not the samples of course) ...and the question is really about what life is...or that should be the question. Now that we have...
