I'm in the market for a used LPM.
I know that there are pretty good models (Laserbee, Kenometer) for around $200 new. But, I really don't want to spend more than $50-$100 or so. I would prefer used and highly scratched up. I don't even need it to be completely accurate (+/- 10mW off is fine) or calibrated recently. I just wanted to get a Laser Power Meter that "works" to around +1Watt.
I know many people have several power mgives me a relatively good idea of power-output, and if someone would be willing to let one go for this price. I would totally appreciate it. :san:
I'll pay for shipping, tracking, your groceries, whatever it takes. :D

just to let you know laser bee has one for around 50$ and you can by a filter to cut the light down by 1/8 the power so you can get much higher readings for very cheap.
just have to do a little math.
 
I have an older, analog, Scientech 364 with a 4in calorimeter (head), that you could have for $75, plus shipping

Peace,
dave

Buy this and a ND-filter.

Thought about going that route. But, getting a filter, and setting it up with my DMM, jsut seems like too much of a hassle. Kinda' looking for an all-in-one.

I saw you mention this before, but an analog read-out doesn't seem to be what I am looking for (kinda' wanted a digital readout [pics/glasses testing/etc...]). But, if I can't find anything else for around that price. I will absolutely consider it. :beer:

LOL! Well you can certainly take pictures of the meter and test anything you want just like a digital. The main difference is that it is a swinging needle rather than LCD digits.

Of course.
But I just feel like a digital read-out would work better for me.
I really don't want to spend $200 on a Laserbee. But, if I must, I will. :thinking:

I was literally laughing while I was typing that response

I don't have a bit of problem with people wanting something "just because." ;)

Varied tastes are one of the things that drive the free market

Absolutely no problems on this end


Peace,

Thanks for the info. But if I got that meter and a thermopile head, it looks like I would be spending close to $200. For that amount of money I would prob. get a new LPM with data logging capabilities.
(note: I guess I'm looking for a beat-up and scratched [functioning] Laserbee, sort-of) :beer:
 
maybe ask jerry nicely is he has any cosmetic defective units or partly dead screened units that he would not mind sending out.
 
PM already sent...:cool:

The problem is that we have not yet had one LaserBee product
sent back to the shop as a new product defective return..
We have never needed to replace a LaserBee I or II because
it was received defective... else we would have some supper
deals for 2nd hand products on LPF...:cool:

This is what real professional do. Any flaw should immediately be destroyed, and not a fix around with glue
 
well if you ever see the need to recycle any dead units ill take them. fix the boards and have my first lpm.
i kinda want a good diy lpm..
do you sell kits?
 
Sorry... we don't sell kits because you need to have a way to calibrate
the LaserBee I or II. And we have never built any dead units.. which is
good for us and bad for you...:D
