Ok everyone, I have some basic photos for you to see.

The laser is awesome, I love it. I could not load these on pbase since the site is down so this will have to do. Make sure you click on "Other sizes" to see the larger versions.
I mentioned this in my other thread about the laser:
well the +150mW laser arrived today! It is very stable so far and the ouput is at 156mW according to Jack at Optptronics from his power meter. It is really bright and I tore through 6 black ballons in just a couple of seconds. The divergence on this unit is about 1.5mrad (educated guess). The glare from the spot on the wall makes the spot look larger that it is. My red safety glasses reveal its true size. In the box Jack places an "Over voltage Warning" which states: "Only use AAA batteries that do not exceed 1.6v per cell as higher voltages will destroy your laser. It will reduce the diode life from 1,000 hrs or more down to minutes or even cause instant destruction. Over voltage failure creates a tell-tale destruction signature that is easily determined by root cause failure analysis, is not repairable an will void any warranty" So with that in mind i am using either the Energizer Titanium or Duracell ultra batteries. The Enrergizer Advanced Lithiums are at least 1.7v ea.....do not use those in ths laser! So far it is AWESOME! Really bright and burns stuff as soon as you turn it on! Instant pian. I will provide some photos of it very soon. You will not be dissapointed by this laser.
