    Trying out the new Home Depot EcoSmart LED BR30 bulb

    Hi guys, good thread. At first I purchased the EcoSmart 15W r30 bulbs from home depot, but was disappointed to see they had a start-up delay and didn't dim well (not to mention 30k color). After reading this thread, I returned them and picked up some of the Lowe's Utilitech Pro BR30's at 27k...

    Home laser hair remover??

    That thing would not be good to use if it's continuous. That's not to say permanent laser home hair removal is impossible. The best method I have read is to first get a waxing, then rub carbon black into the follicles and wash the surface. The carbon black efficiently absorbs the IR energy...

    Potmodded DX 100mW green laser

    potmodding wont' gain you anything in the DX lasers. they are already maxed out close to the point of failing.

    'Pearl' Violet 405nm 90mW Anodized Kryton barrel build

    Update: more pics!: The finish has evened out and become shiny after waxing a few times. this photo was taken with it running at 135mW at night with humidity in the air.

    Question regarding laser lifetime

    Hi, if you want pen lasers, check out Nova laser, and if you want more powerful lasers, check out Laserglow. They are both run by the same person, and the quality is much better than DX, so is the price.

    haha, thanks. This his the third extraction from this $300 model burner I have done, and by the third, it doesn't seem so bad ;)

    'Pearl' Violet 405nm 90mW Anodized Kryton barrel build

    Hi, it's time for the latest installment in building.. a LG ggw-h20l 6x blu-ray burner was sacrificed for its beautiful gem 405nm laser diode. This time the kenbarrel kryton was anodized in sulfuric acid using the procedure I outlined in this thread. Then the barrel was cleaned and waxed with...

    Australia to restrict laser pointers; sales to be treated like firearms

    It's not just ruined by a few bad apples, It's ruined by a few bad apples and a hypersensitive govt. You'd think making the act of lasing a plane illegal would be enough, and it should be. After all, that's what this law is supposedly trying to prevent. But they went a few steps further and...

    removing a Blu ray diode from an axiz housing?

    Milos is right, there is stainless steel piping available that fits perfectly around the top of the diode so that you can press on the base only to push it out. It works fairly well and is less dangerous than pressing on the front of the diode, because any deformation in the metal can can cause...

    Inside a 6x blu-ray burner diode (thanks Mike)

    Hemlock_mike has sent me one of these that met a premature end. Here are some phtos of the internals. You can see the pin conection arrangement clearly, as well as a shattered facet. Also it's interesting to note the z-like gold electrode on top, instead of the usual straight sliver. Click...

    5 watt medical laser

    It appears to say 'CO2 laser' which would mean it's a high power infrared laser, very dangerous because you cannot see the light as it's blinding you. It could be used for cutting and burning though (goggles a must, and probably water cooling, too).

    can you explain your reasoning behind this one?
