BitLasers.com - Handheld Lasers and accessories (We ship worldwide)

[Grix]

I'm opening up a little store selling handheld lasers and accessories for bitcoin!

These lasers are all built by me from parts, so these are pretty much unique. You won't find this powerful lasers except on a few select sites, and my prices are also usually lower. Lasers are very fun to play with. Almost all my lasers have visible beams, some of them are astonishingly bright. I also sell several lasers that are powerful enough to burn, even set bare wood on fire without any assistance.

The lasers are sold in semi-assembled states. Some assembly is required, though it is very easy, takes only a couple of minutes are require no tools or experience. Selling the lasers like this makes them legal to import, so you don't have to worry about customs.

Now, I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH: If you want to buy a laser, you must absolutely understand the dangers involved. A split-second of the beam hitting your eye, and you might permanently damage your vision. These lasers are absolutely not toys. I sell protective glasses and I absolutely encourage that you buy and use them. These lasers are also prohibited in some countries, make sure you know the local laws.

I figure bitcoin is mostly used by geeks (no offense ), and what does a geek love more than a badass laser? So take a look: http://bitlasers.com

If you have any questions, please contact me on this forum, or at gitlem@gmail.com .

I am all over this after a little bit. That blue one is calling my name!

[FreeMoney]

This would be like the worst thing I could ever buy. Very tempting.

The blue one is like a serious weapon right? 1300mW damn.

[Grix]

Fucking WOW, Too hardcore!, I wanted to pop a balloon and such, Not melt a hole in my wall!.
Get some lower power ones i need to replace my old green 445nm Stock one that i got from hongkong...  

I will probably stock cheaper and lower powered ones soon, but I'd like to gauge interest first. Plus, as lower powered ones are being mass produced in china, the cost probably won't beat the ones you find elsewhere, while these higher powered ones are cheaper than that of f.ex. wickedlasers.com, the biggest seller by far, but still allowing for a profit to me.

Yes, it is quite frightening! 

But if you use it responsibly there won't be a problem. They are only as dangerous as you make them. And what a sight it is in the night sky!

I can't help but notice you're using CREE drivers, right? (it's on one of those pics) IMHO, cheap cree drivers are really meant for led's and the such. Maybe try using one of those quality lasers by Moh's or DTR? 

[xanadu]

Alright, I'll bite, I'm a sucker for laser gadgets.

Order placed, discount applied, bitcoins sent.  Will report back if/when the device arrives and if it hits their specs after testing.

No, I'm not using Cree drivers, only the flashlight host. I'm using Mohrenbergs's linear driver, don't worry

Thanks! I will pack it up and send it your way monday.

Do you offer an option with a bigger heatsink, and a detachable collimator?

[Grix]

I don't offer different heatsinks atm, but I will probably offer at least copper heatsink upgrades in the future. The lens is already detachable, you can install any aftermarket lens that fits aixiz modules (m9 x .5 pitch threading). I'll probably offer upgraded lenses myself too. A 1800-2000mW blue laser should be doable with the right parts.

That's good to hear. Any information when the next 1.3w ++ blue laser will be in? Also, is the actual light wattage is 1.3w (measured via a laser meter)? I'm planning to pick a high powered laser just for fun, and was looking at wickedlasers before I saw yours.

I think I'll order new parts for blues within a few days.

Yes, the powers stated on the website is the actual powers. I don't have an LPM, but diode lasers, given a certain current, will always output the same power within a small tolerance. I guarantee that the 1300mW one will never go below 1200mW, and usually it will be more powerful.

[grue]

What brand are your safety glasses? I want to check the specifications of the glasses myself.

[Grix]

They are T-rex branded, my supplier states these specs:

Visible Light Penetrated Ratio: >55%

Optical Density: >5.0(OD+5,OD+6)

Attenuation Ratio: 10-6

I test every pair before I sell them to ensure adequate quality.

[CrazyGuy]

Those look pretty awesome, how much will you be selling the blue lasers for?

[Electricbees]

Is it possible to build more powerful handheld lasers? Perhaps a 2w model?
In all honesty, I would like the beefiest laser possible, so I can use it to cut materials like wood, plastic, fabric, etc...

I'm reading here that the violet laser is a single mode, meaning you can focus the laser into a very small point... Are there laser-builds possible that utilize more milliwattage, but still have that feature?

+1 lol. I want the most macho handheld laser on this earth! Rawr!

Yes, higher powered lasers than what I sell is possible, either by increasing current alone (But that would shorten lifetime and duty cycles, so I'm not going to do that), or upgrading components like the heatsink to allow a little higher current, and a high-efficiency lens. But that would of course increase the cost, lenses alone can be quite expensive.

The higher single mode would have to be a violet one, they could potentionally go close to 1W.. But the best for burning is still blue 445nm just because of the sheer power. As said above, a 1800-2000mW laser is doable, and I think I will sell them in the future sometime. (Not cheap though, just saying. It would cost at least $250).

Price is no issue for me, so long as it's reasonable for the hardware, labor invested, and such. That all being said, if I see some good feedback on your previous orders, would you by chance be willing to build one custom for me? Perhaps a 2W blue 445nm, before you are offering them to the general public? I suppose that might be asking a bit much, but if not, I can certainly wait until you stock them.

I'm drooling at the 2.2w blue laser by survival lasers here : http://www.survivallaser.com/Survival_Laser_II_Special_Edition_445nm_Parts_Bundle_Laser_Components_Only/p556088_5173902.aspx

Any chances of doing something high powered like that?

[Grix]

Those look pretty awesome, how much will you be selling the blue lasers for?

The one I offered when I lauched the website was $189. I wish there was a way to display sold out items and their price on the website in a non-clumsy way, but I haven't found one yet.

He's got a little more resources than me, so what he has done is bought a bunch of diodes and cherry picked the most efficient ones, but diodes are expensive, so I doubt I'll reach those powers any time soon. But as said above, 1.8W should be doable, and for much cheaper than the survival laser one.

That being said, there is a new type of blue diode being researched by the community as we speak, discovered in a movie projector. If that turns out to be more powerful than the current diodes in circulation, maybe we will see >2W lasers soon after all!

Yes, I could do that, but as said I don't really have the money to buy too much stock, so by offering it to you exclusively I'd also have to make the others that might want one wait longer for me to restock, so I think putting it on the website, then first come first serve, would be more fair.
