UPGRADE:

OK So I think I have solved the problem, I now have a fan built into the device (I had an old PC fan laying around so I decided to try that), I made a second version and Ive not seen any fluctuation. Now something I will say is that the laser pointer is a different one to the original though both advertaised as the same thing the workings within were different. So maybe this version dosn't get as hot and dosn't have the same problems as the previous model. As I had said before I purchased the original laser pointer about a year ago so maybe there has been an internal upgrade or maybe its just different manufacturers, who knows?

Something else I wanted to point out, but is probably somewhat obvious once you see the photo, is the fan runs independantly from the Laser for two reasons, 1. the fan would draw way to much from the lasers batteries and the device would last only a short while and 2. the draw its self would cause the laser to fluctuate constantly.

Even so, I wanted to make sure so here's the second model:

As many know Im currently on the road with GHI again, but I wanted to stop by and update my forum a little.

In regards to the laser burst device, Ive actually found something awesome. I bought a Green Laser Kaleidoscope from Spencers it cost $79 and is worth every penny. Its primarily mains operated BUT I was able to put together a battery pack for it and it works a treat. It has a wider angle and a bright laser.

Heres a photo, and I should get some photos taken from where we was using the laser as part of a recent investigation.

Looks great, I like the fact that it's Mains powered. Less batteries to worry about. Shame that our Spencers closed down here but I bet that I can find this on Ebay,

You can get it off Spencers online. They sell a red version so be careful that you order the write one.

Something I dont think Ive mentioned yet but think is rather an important aspect of using the Laser Burst is the camera used. Now originally I was using a nightvision camera BUT I found it wasnt getting the result I wanted. So after a lot of testing other cameras I actually found a really good high res bullet camera 0.1LUX which gives what I believe to be the perfect image. It still has an IR filter so its not at all nightvision capable in adition this means no IR LEDs which also play part in drowning out the colour of the laser.

I'd love to hear form anyone else using the laser grids and would love to see and hear of any results your getting.....
