    Wicked Lasers in MAXIM!!!

    Interesting read - My g/f picked up Maxim tonight and is trying to convince me we need a subscription. I guess that can't be a bad thing ;-) Anyway, as I was flipping through, I saw an ad for Wicked Lasers Spyder... here's what it says: "Like Dr.Evil, all of us have longed to one day see...

    50mw green laser review (from ebay) (warning lots of PICS!)

    Yeah, I just checked it - no problems - 45mw the best I can tell with my method (with the IR filter) *green led* however there's *NO* issue with the tailpeice now that I have batteries honestly! I'll get action shots a little later, going to the casino for a little while :) BTW: No...

    50mw green laser review (from ebay) (warning lots of PICS!)

    Well I ended up using pliers in the end *so yeah, NOW it turns easy lol* but the cheapie ones aren't that bad if you get a good one. The crystals mis-align really easy though. As far as opening, I used 2 sets of pliers - one to hold the case and the other to grab the very top to twist the end...

    50mw green laser review (from ebay) (warning lots of PICS!)

    Well, I did manage to "jerry rig" a power supply for the 50mw laser and I'd say it was WELL worth it. I paid about 100$ USD for the price of the item and shipping... I'd definitely do it again. The mrad's are kinda crappy but it does what I want it to honestly! I'll try and get pics so...

    50mw green laser review (from ebay) (warning lots of PICS!)

    Exactly - welcome to Ebay hey? So as an update I bought batteries *CR123 but I guess the 50mw takes CR2... interesting because the pic from ebay shows CR123* So I ended up buying the wrong size... I should have tried them at the store, but I was in a hurry to get out. *sigh* Whatever - I...

    50mw green laser review (from ebay) (warning lots of PICS!)

    Re: 50mw green laser review (from ebay) okay, I took it apart even more, and was able to remove the crystals to look DIRECTLY at the diode. Interestingly enough, it's not sealed - it's all open. And still works as such too... Here: Take what you will from it, and I'll take it apart...

    50mw green laser review (from ebay) (warning lots of PICS!)

    Re: 50mw green laser review (from ebay) Okay, I thought that I'd post 2 posts so I didn't lose everything in the first one and get it all put together. This first picture is what it looks like dismantled. It's actually VERY simple to do: everything twists off! The next two are the crystal...

    50mw green laser review (from ebay) (warning lots of PICS!)

    Re: 50mw green laser review (from ebay) Okay, so I got the laser just a few minutes ago. Without a battery. I imagine for some stupid reason customs might have taken it but I'm going to ask the seller about it too (Or see if it says "batteries not included" in the post) Anyway, I have PICS...

    50mw green laser review (from ebay) (warning lots of PICS!)

    Okay, so the package came in yesterday however I wasn't home, so I have to run down the road to get it. I actually haven't even picked it up yet exactly, but after I do the dishes and feed the cats - it's LASER GETTIN' time. This'll be my first review unless you hear me complaining about...

    What type of laser is this?

    The big difference though on how you'll know: The focal point on the different wavelengths are impacting too: If a tape burns from 2 inches but not 6, that's a possibility that there's IR issues. *or movement, but from 6 inches that's typically not a problem* If it burns consistantly...

    Hey guys

    Re: Modify your 5mw Green Laser to 10mwmw 50mw or 100mw Both - We already HAVE guides that can do that here, FOR FREE... What a tool. And not like a useful tool.

    What type of laser is this?

    Okay, I have an update. I asked about when it was going to be shipped, etc... Here's what he said: "Hi, Thank you for your quick payment. I will send it today. It is 50mw but it has not IR filter inside. No high power laser has IR filter. Regards Tony" SOOOOO That being said, it looks...

    newbie question: 8mw vs. 5mw green lasers

    Lets say this: I bought 1 just to see how it worked. It was DOA. When I opened it up, it was a hunk of crap - VERY low quality compared to leadlight, etc. I'd say STAY AWAY (when it was working, it was TEM-shifting on me, and it was about 3mw)

    What type of laser is this?

    That's semi-what I thought. I mostly had the intention of ripping it apart to see what it's like on the inside, and then making sure it's as safe as possible. Honestly, I'd rather attach an IR filter directly to the front even if it already has one anyway just to keep dust and such off of the...

    What type of laser is this?

    Just as a sidenote - I'll be sure to post a review when I get it. I'll try and disassemble it to make sure that it has an IR filter, however if not, I'll add one myself easy enough :) I saw a post about asking about them - I'll see if I can set up a basic "laser mw reader" with a green LED and...
