Check out Target fast.....they are clearancing out some great host flashlights....for next to nothing. I got a bunch of river rock and dorcy stuff for 2 to 10 bucks apiece. They had Dorcy 120 lumen 3AAA lights with battery status green/red tail switch lights built in for 7 bucks and I scored on...

Re: Does anyone have a DX laser that DOESN'T mode Yeah, I'm totally for real. :o lol TS

Yes,  it will ruin the binoculars instantaneously, don't do it!   The glass lenses on binoculars are neither flexible nor self healing, so when the laser impacts the glass, it will shatter!  I repeat, SHATTER!  Or at the very least, scratch, it. Now, on the other hand,  laser BEAMS are ok...

Re: Mitch Apatow    !!!!!!! Wesdaman 14 bought a high powered laser to use as an implement of warfare in retaliation against his mother, and when he ends up incinerating her scowling eyebrows in a fit of rage, this forum will be blamed......by the entire international news media. :-? Great...

Although I'm sure Switch, being a true fan and all, could tell us ALL about the post production effects in Star wars.... It has been my experience that Pre Production Effects are where the real fun is. 8-) TS

Re: Does anyone have a DX laser that DOESN'T mode Upon closer inspection....I found out mine wasn't mode hopping at all! I got a magnifying glass and found out it was putting out a rapdily scanning series of microscopic letters...... D-U-M-B F-O-R-E-I-G-N-E-R I reprogrammed it to say...

Star wars fans can youtube '3 in the afternoon'. TS

Mine mode hopped within 1 second of turning on. The barrel gets warm quick! The PCB stuck too far out and when the battery compartment is screwed on all the way, it compresses the spring all the way back and into the board. I tried NiMH's and got a few seconds of obscene performance. But not...

Minimum convergence distance is about 7 1/4". I may post a how to for this mod, soon. This scope is eminently moddable. As for an add on expander, I'm sure one could put one together. I will try and get a video of it in action. The beam at aperture looks weak, and hardly shows up except in fog...

Re: Does anyone have a DX laser that DOESN'T mode Don't buy the 200mw greenie. Buy the 30mw flashlight version which is much easier to swap drivers on. The PCB on the dx200 is crap. TS

Why pay several hundred bucks for a beam expander, when you can buy a silver Daisy rifle scope for under $20.00?   The main tube takes CR123A's perfectly.  It has all glass optics.  The aperture lens housing is finely threaded for highly accurate and stable focus length adjustments.  Don't...

I just returned a DX200 greenie I just got which was mode hopping out of the box. In the rare moments it didn't hop, it would pop any colored balloons from 6 feet away, instantly. No black marker dots required. I was offered credit for the return and will be getting 2 of SKU-7884 & 1 of...

:-[ You caught me. I went out on a limb with that one. Because that's where the fruit is. Don't tell Doyle Brunson I mutilated his line. TS

Re: FS: 85mW 405nm solid AL barrel laser blue!! Perhaps a glass coating filters some of the UV output. I know that any of my greenies over 80mw with plastic optics will start to 'speckle' after a few hours accumulated use. I don't know if some of the coating is being ablated which causes the...

Sure, but we're talking apples and oranges. The ouput of this particular technology is quite similar to sun light and at much greater efficiency, producing much less heat. The implications seem very fruitful. TS

It puts out 140 lumens per watt. It simply can't afford to waste much energy as heat. Way better than current LED tech. TS

Re: FS: 85mW 405nm solid AL barrel laser blue!! I'd pay good money for one of his drivers! Drivers are my weak spot. I'm no good with SMD stuff. TS

Re: FS: 85mW 405nm solid AL barrel laser blue!! My wife just told me, "welcome to the club".  I said, what club?  She said, the grown up club!   This was right after she tortured me into not nabbing this laser!!! I told her It's a steal.  Throw it on ebay and it's gone in less than 2hrs.  ...

Re: FS: 85mW 405nm solid AL barrel laser blue!! My hands are sweating as I type this......may I ask what the divergence is?  Or spot size at a given distance? And are the exit optics glass or plastic? Regards, TS

Dr Lava, do you plan on assembling any of these units for sale? If so, what'll it take to get my hands on one? TS
