    Hercules laser exclusive?

    Hi Photonxiii, I don't really think you got any deal at all and in fact spent more than if you would have bought the RPL-200 rather than a counterfeit. By the time you buy a battery, charger, and other costs, the counterfeit you got cost you about $23 more and on top of that you didn't get the...

    200-500mW green running on 18650

    Here's a thread from the LPF on the subject of techlasers. I asked Justin from LaserGlow if techlasers is the official CNI distributor they claim to be. Justin just replied and will update the thread when he gets more info from CNI directly...

    200-500mW green running on 18650

    I would be very careful of ordering from techlasers. This domain as well as others which point to techlasers are owned by Steve Liu and family. Most likely another WL sham that is directed at people who have no laser power meter or any idea what 200mW of brightness really is.

    Please tell me if this laser is worth the money

    No need to ask the seller anything. These claims are false garbage. They will not even output 25mW, but I guess it is a "less than 250mW laser" as 25 is less than 250mW as shown in the photo. 1. in the spec it says 1.5W diode, this is total bull as a CR-123 is not capable of sourcing the amount...

    Wicked Lasers Sonar (Blu-ray) Laser is here!!! :)

    Re: Wicked Lasers Sonar is here!!! :) Hi Winny, Read this link for more information about RMS. http://www.opamp-electronics.com/tutorials/measurements_of_ac_magnitude_2_01_03.htm Yes, RMS can and is used for for rectified sinusoidal waveforms; but it's not the accurate or correct way to...

    Wicked Lasers Sonar (Blu-ray) Laser is here!!! :)

    Hi Craig, I'm familiar with the Sper 840011 meter, a friend of mine owns one. Yes, it has a silicon sensor; like the lasercheck does. The silicon sensors do not have a flat response across it's spectrum range like the thermal sensors do. This is why they have a "look up table" to multiply the...

    Wicked Lasers Sonar (Blu-ray) Laser is here!!! :)

    Re: Wicked Lasers Sonar (Blu-ray) is here!!! :) Hi Craig, What type of meter and sensor are you using to measure the power of a pulsed laser? I think you misunderstood the duty cycle vs. average output power. Unless the meter head is designed to measure short duration pulsed beams (it'll be...

    Wicked Lasers Sonar (Blu-ray) Laser is here!!! :)

    Re: Wicked Lasers Sonar (Blu-ray) is here!!! :) Hi Craig, I wanted to chime in on the way output power is calculated for a pulse laser. RMS is for AC waveforms, this is because for part of the cycle the current is going in the opposite direction and thus goes below zero and then to a negative...

    Why are Wicked Lasers so much more expensive? - longish post, sort of.

    I know I may be a biased source. being a competitor and hope this is not taken as "stirring the pot", if so I apologize; but this picture alone only means that WL published this on their website, it is not a cause or reason for their higher sales price. 80% of people believe 98% of what they see...

    Lots of cool Lasers

    I just looked this place up. I can tell you they are not a manufacturer of anything. They are just a Chinese product marketing company. If you look at there other products most are mp3 players and such. These are the places that market to the guys selling Ebayers on E-bay. They don't use any...

    Repost of new "Fusion" laser review (now available to CPF'ers !)

    Hi SenKat, I agree, this is the kind of thing that can drive a new company right into the ground. Not only does it hurt the product image, but the amount of time and costs to send these back to China and then when they get repaired, the cost of sending them back to the customer, not to mention...

    Optronics RPL-260

    Hi SenKat, I was just reading other threads and saw a post that said you "sharpie everything". My previous comments were not to bash you in anyway and I didn't see this until thread until just now. Please don't take it personally, I hope you know I wouldn't do that to you. ps, when are you...

    Optronics RPL-260

    I've been working with nc987 by pm to solve his issues. He bought the laser on E-bay. It is a real RPL-260 (with that rating) and was originally sold back in August of 2006. It sounds like it working well for him now. I do agree with SenKat; Unless the divergence, power and the power...
