After not being a laser hobbyist for a few years, I recently noticed a new color (405) in my price range on eBay. I always liked that color, but did not like the thought of killing a $1200 diode in the first few minutes I own it. I ended up on the other forum five months ago because Google put me there looking for the I and the E. I like some people over there. I don't like lasers that can roll off the table. And I like lasers that can run all day. More and more this seems like the place that I should spend most of my time. Since I'm more interested in projectors and deeper tech discussions than dangerous flashlights.
Not lurking anymore SPEC.
