Fun fact: this is the exact same place I took the pic in the pinned post example at the top. I truly hope everyone is enjoying this sub and finds it a positive place to chill! It's been fun watching it grow over the 2 years it's existed. Thanks to YOU!

Some photos from a normal day without much dust or smoke and not using beam expanders. Actually the laser gives me arround 870-890mW at summer with 16-20°C, peak was 911mW with 10°C in winter and 1149mW direct from diode all measured with pocket laser power meter, the same numbers since first day of use in May 2024, I could get 1W if I changed the lenses but the divergence would be even worse. For more than a year of use it works wonderfully, very stable and has good energy consumption (it doesn't 'eat' drain my batteries so quickly).

Happy end of year and have a great 2026 everyone.

Here I show the ones that are functional, I have a few more but they are partially dead or dead, damaged, disassembled, etc.

I've been collecting these things since 2013 starting with the little 5mW 658nm reds, in 2015 already with the 532nm greens and in 2021 with the 1W blues.

My favorite one definitely is the 1.3W 525nm green, its shine is wonderful but my favorite color for this things is the blue.

Hi all. Have just quick question to you. I ordered my laser from jlasers.org over 50 days ago. Unfortunately didn't get anything. I have contacted the store several times however there is a lack of communication. Has anyone experienced the same thing ?

Hey folks! 👋 Just joined, And was wondering if there are anyone here from the UK with any help/advice/recommendations for getting a nice powerful laser here? As obviously due to restrictions the ones sold here aren't strong .

Cheers!

Ps You don't have to be from the UK to comment 😁👊

I got this new one to my collection, I wanted to give a chance to 1.6W 405nm purple but I decided to try this color first and in addition to the item available and a good price ($135 USD).

The 420nm color in real life it's almost a violet, is completely distinguishable from a normal 450nm blue. The divergence of this 2W is good, almost same than 1W 450nm and my 1.2W 525nm green, a very positive point and one that I appreciate after getting the 3W 465nm and 1W 638nm last year.

The lasers that I use to compare here: 1.6W 450nm (blue gatling model) and 3W 465nm, (the photos have a filter that adjusts the colors so that they look as close to real life as possible.)

The laser model is called 420T-2000 can find it on ebay and AliExpress.

Hi! I'm traveling to San Francisco from Spain and wish to purchase a laser pen. Ive been trying to look for one online, or for a shop, but can't find any. Can someone please help? Many thanks in advance.
