I don't know, I have no meter but it was on setting 9 (max) as it's the adjustable sort. I've lost the key already alas, I need to make a more permanent arrangement with a small opticians screwdriver. As it's aluminium I don't think I can use a rare-earth disk magnet to attach which is a...

It's not a review as I have no testing kit, just a couple of photos.  First is vertically into the night sky.  Taken with no flash with a Canon 10D, even though both were on a marble slab in the garden there is some slight distortion due to wobble, there's a road 200yds away with lots of...

Some kid was banged up for zapping a police chopper a while back, now some other kid has been arrested and charged after zapping a passenger plane coming in to land and then the police chopper assigned to catch him - f**kwit! The news sid that the pilot had been 'temporarily blinded' and the...

Re: Thumbs up for Optronics Cheers, will do. I'm extremely jealous of you, the skies up there are so clear (when it's not raining:))

Re: Thumbs up for Optronics Glasgow eh? Nice place (and I mean that), had a good weekend up there a few years ago. We went to a murphy's pakora bar near teh museum which still intrigues me to this day; you're in Scotland, you go to an Irish pub and it specialises in serving Indian food. You...

Re: Thumbs up for Optronics ah, thanks for enlightening me. I need to learn more about them, my defunct WL laser is going to be a testing ground. Am I right in thinking it's an IR diode that does something to some crystals that produces the green? My two bosses are off today so I think I'll...

Thanks for the warning. I will definitely avoid him as I really don't want any free stuff that I can buy on fleabay. It's saddening to know that in this enlightened age there are still people who reject the priinciples of dishonesty and goodness. Thank god for eBay, it's truly heartwarming to...

When my old WL pen-laser broke down, I did a lot more research than I'd done back when I bought it.  Though out of warranty it had not been used much and the best WL could do was offer me 10% discount off a newer one, well I could get them cheaper than that elsewhere anyway.  Discounting eBay...

If you can't get through to WL then that's just because Internet Explorer is looking after your best interests. Buy them elsewhere, they'll be cheaper.

Idiots. It won't be long before the govt. starts restricting sale/use of them in public. Some kid over here in the UK got 4 years in prison for aiming a high-power green pen laser at a police helicopter. The only good thing is that if more kids get them they'll probably get a ripoff one from...

Any suggestions welcome. At the moment an Opto RPL 200mw looks about the best. Undecided whether to go the adjustable/non-adjustable route if I g for an RPL. But any other options considered. Cheers

I'll try the alu foil, that's worked in other lasers but this isn't stuttering. Got a reply from 'Jessica' at WL this am, they're offering a very generous discount... 10%. I will get 7½% from Opto by mentioning here so I think WL can go and jump in the sea.

Oh well, if it's toast I will take it to bits and see if I can do something else with it involving a blue diode. 2 years is good? I've an Sp3 which is 3-4 years old and still going strong. You just reminded me. Some years back, my very old HeNe tube laser bit the dust after a night...

Hi all I've got (hangs head in shame) a WL Nexus 95mW that I got 2 years ago.  At the time it was there or eBay or a load of US sites that looked exactly the same and were selling the same at the same prices (and presumably were the same person). I must say that the laser has been good until...
