Is this for real?!

My friend just ordered a Burning Laser, but the output power is 1 mW? Is that possible, he ordered it a few days ago, and I wanted to buy one as they are cheap. But I want to know your guys' opinion!

G301 Green Laser Pointer Pen Focus 532nm Burning Lazer Visible Adjustable Beam | eBay

NightExplorer96 · Jan 9, 2014

Typical eBay pen crap.

Other then that, 1mW won't burn anything. It's more dangerous looking at the sun then at a 1mW pointer.

But this laser IS NOT 1mW. It's most likely 50mW or more with more then 60% of total output being IR.

Be safe

So it does burn matches etc, also it it worth it?

Who knows? Time will tell. With all cheap chinese lasers even identical ones from the same seller can vary by OVER 50mW

Yes it can burn matches if focused enough.

NO it is not worth buying plain and simple.

This is about the worst quality of greenie's possible. Just buy a quality laser from here:

LP 515nm 532nm 1-150

Be safe my friend

It'll probably be around 30mw of actual output. Interesting how it says you can use either 1x 18650, or 2 x 16340. I bet you can only use 1x 18650. Also funny how it says the brightness is >350lm LOL. Not how you measure laser light.
Honestly I wouldn't buy that, but it would still be a decent laser for sky pointing and such, I'm sure.

The 301 tends to be under-specified. Burner? Doubtful. Especially for a 532nm. Maybe only if modded.

Jeremy10001000 · Jan 9, 2014

Yeah, damn xD. Well also what kind of a laser would I need to be able to see the beam?

*Technically* if you have enough fog you can see any laser's beam.

But for best beam visibility for cheap, I would purchase a 532nm laser.

Jeremy10001000 · Jan 9, 2014

Alright, also I love how I refreshed and like 3 comments popped up! xD

CameronJP · Jan 9, 2014

You would be able to see the beam of that laser, it's just not high quality. Probably wouldn't be terrible for a first laser. Just be sure to buy a decent battery and a good charger.
Or you could check out rayfoss.com
They have decent priced on spec lasers. I recommend you get a 50-100mw green laser, just be careful!!

Jeremy10001000 · Jan 9, 2014

Yeah, any good site with cheaper prices that can ship to Canada?

Haha, I'd like a couple xD. I heard lazerer was good, but not anymore?

Oh sorry haha

Yes Lazerer is good for a first laser. Of course it isn't going to be "top-notch" but it will get the job done.

I´m quite sure this laser is able to burn!

Had quite a few of these (5) in the past. They were perfoming between 80-110mW.

They all worked great, none of them died. IMO the power/quality to price ratio on these is very good.

If anyone is telling something different, they just never had (many of) them.
