Received my awesome AtlasNova laser !!

[Roga_Danar]

I received my laser last night and spent almost all night outside in awe. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/happy14.gif Arnold and Alvine Beland were a pleasure to do business with. I got a 22.4mw Leadlight that blew me away. My first night with it had about 80% humidity at 70degress or so and I could see the entire beam. I'm talking any angle from parrallel all the way to perpendicular, and the beam was a bright solid green line. I live in a rural area and I guess conditions were very good out here in the northeast, but it was so impressive that I believe it would be incredible almost anywhere.

Those of you looking to make your first green laser purchase, look not further that http://abeland1.com/
Quality, speed, and profesionalism.
Thanks again Arnold. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thanks.gif

Have to agree with you. I just recieved my 10.9mW abeland Leadlight earlier this week - and im very very impressed with it...

Id love to get a 22.4mW though.... mmmmmmm

 

[LASERSforLIFE]

yeah, all i have is a TRUE 5mW, but i want something in range from 15mW-20mW. Roga Danar, be sure to take pictures and post them in here!

 

[Roga_Danar]

I would take pictures and post them but I won't have time as I am leaving for the Army in a few days.

 

[lasercrazy]

Are you gonna take it with you?

 

[Roga_Danar]

LOL No I wish I could but I am certain that it would become the expensive toy of an irresponsible person (drill Sergeant) the very first day of Basic. Oh well I can wait to play with it after BCT, AIT and jump school I suppose...

With the humidity at Ft. Benning that would be an awesome sight. But you're right, it would get taken away. It wouldn't even make it as far as the DI.

I am getting itchy for another laser and I just got this one yesterday!! Between flashlights and guns I was already burning holes in my bank account, the last thing I need is a new hobby! I will probably buy another from Arnold during my Christmas leave, I can only hope he has a super-powerful one with my name on it come December! Besides I need to own at least 2 so I wont feel bad should I decide to void the warranty and take a look inside one of these babies.

Those C-Cell 50 and 75mw models look quite intimidating. Anyone know of a website that ships those to the USA?

 

[2dim]

Has anyone checked this out? The price for their >15mw seems a bit outrageous. Is it really that much better?

Re: Glp-III

As you probably know that laser is a cnilaser.com product and it can be bought from http://z-bolt.com/ they also carry a 75mw one.

Taken from Z-Bolt's website: ( No sales to United States pending FDA / CDRH Laser Product Report )
This is written on all three of their C-Cell Class IIIb DPSS laser pages.

Megalaser just tweaks 5mW leadlights... don't bother.

2Dim, don't bother with Megalaser, in all likelyhood they just take a stock leadlight and turn the pot up. This means you are paying an outrageuos price (really, REALLY outrageous, $349 plus shipping!!) for a leadlight when you can get one for less than $70 in some cases on ebay and just turn up the pot yourself if you so desire.

But what I suggest would be calling or emailing Arnold at Abeland1.com and get a stock leadlight thats a powerfull handpicked and tested unit, completly unmoddified. Megalasers only says that theirs will be more than 15mw for $349 plus shipping while I got my 22.4mw from Abeland1 with overnight UPS shipping for just over $200. I am sure that if you had regular shipping on one of his 17-18mw units you would be in the $160 range.

Re: Glp-III

I did not go any further than the first page. Looks to me that you could take their >30mw green module and connect it to 2 batteries... to get the kind of device you want, if you're handy with that sort of thing. It might be the same module that's used in the Glp-III.

On thir site i saw this: "How long do the batteries last?
Battery life depends on several conditions such as battery type, operating temperature, the amount of time the laser is used constantly and the initial state of the batteries when they were loaded into the unit in the first place. Generally in room temperature and with good alkaline batteries you should have maybe an hour of high powered use followed by several more hours of less than full power use. Generally battery life is good with both of our units but we did choose performance over battery consumption, so it is always wise to keep a spare set of batteries and to store the laser for long period without batteries loaded."

The pat about "we did choose performance over battery consumption" seems to indicate to me that they pushed up the pot to the max so it has less battery time - am I right?

I'm very happy with the model I received from AtlasNova, and look forward to our first Astronomy Club meeting this month. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif We're building a new dome and I hope to convince the commitee to use glow-paint so we can "draw" on the dome! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thank you Arnold and his wife!

 

[slammin]

What are the full rules for laser products/sale in the u.k?
Can anyone point me to a site?

 

[DarkLight]

I have one on the way from Abe around 24mw. Can't wait.

These forums are pretty cool btw.

Never knew there was so much to know about luminous objects!
