Hey guys i am really new to the forums and i love laser pointers and have just gotten into them. I was wondering what your thought were on if my laser would get seized by customs? i ordered from lazerer 100mw and was wondering if it would get through. i live in Missouri, United states so i didnt no if that changed anything.



Thanks,


Chandler

Welcome to the forum!
As far as I know you should be ok, I haven't heard of anything from Lazerer getting pinched by customs, Wicked is on their hit list.

Click to expand...

The power fluctuation is due to thermal expansion of the crystals in the DPSS unit.
As the module heats up, the aligned crystals move very slightly, thus affecting the power output.
Cheaper pointers fluctuate more than better ones, but they all do it to some extent until the unit temp and output become stable.
