hey yall, i know im kind of late to the party, but i ordered from gadget town about 3 months ago. i got a 50mw green and 10mw violet. I got the two lasers about 10 or 11 day later. the violet one was working fine but the green was dead. Thankfully customer service was awesome, i got to talk to and actual person and they sent me a new laser right away. The new one has some issues with the on/off switch, but it is functional. The green one seems a bit underspec but im not sure. it could pop a balloon with sharpie and had a beam visible in a dim room.
i just bought that 200mw one amsnyder got, hoping i get lucky with a good one. it should be here soon so ill tell ya what comes of it.
Overall, i would recommend gadgetown for someone looking to get a cheap laser that will still do a bit of burning. Also because of the customer service, good old Hang Feng Wu (chinese guy) sent me an letter with my new laser apologizing for the broken one.

I just inquired about my order since it should have been here by now. The response I got back says the delay was due to the company moving to a new warehouse and it may take 3-5 additional business days. They say they emailed me about it but I did not receive any such email. I guess I will find out by Friday next week if there is any credibility to this company.

The 100mw greenie did arrive today from gadgettown, it is definately brighter than my 5mw greenie, but I would still say quite underspec, ie won't burn anything. I will post a review in the review section as soon as I can find my camera's memory card and take some proper beam shot, and laser spot pics.

got the
"200mW 532nm DC 3V Open-back Green Laser Pointer" today, very fast shipping, took just 2 days for free shipping. it is way brighter than my 50mw green. the beam is visible in a lit room, it can light matches without any help from a sharpie and it will cause anything black or very dark to smoke almost instantly. i dont have an lpm, so im not sure about the output power, but its and awesome laser! the only thing anout this laser i dont love is the divergence, i was about 200 feet away from my friend, shining at his chest and the beam was about a foot in diameter. it looks awsome and the dot is still visible very far away, for the price, i would highly recommend this laser
