Please read

As there is not much interest for my laser, i was thinking of making like some kind of lottery tickets. 50 tickets for 3$, makes 150$. Each participant can buy up to 3 tickets! The drawing will be done by one of the older members of the forum(i think we can agree on our member Old Lumens).

How will the drawing be done?

Your username will be converted into decimal ascii code. ASCII Table - ASCII Character Codes, HTML, Octal, Hex, Decimal
For example, my username would yield a sum of 768(k=107, + o=111, and so on…)
The sums will then be put in numerical order, lowest to highest, and based on that, you will get a number from 1 to 50. If you buy 2 or 3 tickets, you will get the 2 or 3 consecutive numbers, for example 31, 32 or 15, 16, 17.

If you are in, please post I’m in and number of tickets(1-3), payments will be done after 50 tickets are sold.

Important

I am not responsible, if your customs sieze the package, although it looks like a flashlight.

I also suggest these safety goggles http://www.survivallaser.com/Eagle_Pair\_\_190-540nm_OD6_Slip_Over_Laser_Safety_Goggles/p556088_3346945.aspx

Do not shine into your eyes, even when wearing safety goggles, it will make you blind! Also do not shine into other people, animals, planes…

Good luck!

3 watts?!! That should put a nice glare on the moon. :bigsmile:

Yea, i guess i got lucky when it passed the customs, had to pay the taxes tho, but a woman working there didn’t really know what it is so i stil got it :smiley: everything above 5mw is banned in most europe.

Great stuff realy! Not only for play, but great for outdoor activities too, i got one 1W Nichia lazer and do carry it every time i go hunging, we got here LORT like woods, and 2 years ago i broke a leg while chasing a jackal party….this could safe you life, can be seen from 10 kms and up

Driver is bonded to the bottom of the heatsink so this is the largest driver heatsink you have ever seen :wink:
9mm 445nm diode driven at 2.5A (pretty sure I set it to 2.5A but could have been 2.3A) with 9mm glass lens. End cap has been milled and spring sunk deeper into it to allow 32650 cells. Any other questions can be asked and I will answer to the best of my memory. Built this about a year and half ago and all of the parts are still top of the line. IIRC it was doing 3.2W when I last tested it so it will be over 3W easy when the buyer gets it

Tnx for theupdates :slight_smile:

It's a good deal, good luck with the sale.

Cool! I cannot imagine how powerful it will be. I only tried very low powered 1mW and 5mW blue laser pointers.
I love charming sapphire blue beam emitting from any blue laser. Enjoy your laser fun freely.

Great deal here guys. No need to mention the necessity for safety glasses for whoever is considering this I would imagine :wink:

One cannot inagine the power one wields when holding this kind of laser! It’s truly spectacular :smiley:

Bump

I would suggest posting a few beamshot pictures in the OP. I know you have a video linked but some nice pictures right in the OP might help. Lure people in

Must go!

Infrared-filtered output?

Not in my knowledge, but the parts are from dtr laser shop. Livinloud should know :slight_smile:

Would be fun!

Nope. 445nm is a direct diode color. Zero IR is produced.

DPSS lasers are the ones that produce IR if not filtered. The most common DPSS color you’re likely to run into is 532nm green. Other DPSS colors are rare and expensive. DPSS colors -wikipedia

But 532 is f* expensive :slight_smile:

Hmm? High power 532nm is expensive but there are lots of cheap low power 532 lasers from china.
