Received my O-Like 405nm laser today!

Ok so this is my first time owning a blu laser of any kind, it is really cool! It is more like a UV laser (black lite) and is really hard to focus on. Since the human eye does not focus UV light very well, it appears to have a halo around the spot. I think this is caused by the lens of your eye brings UV light to focus just above the retina. Anyway, i think the laser is really cool.

Here is my review:

The biuld is the exact same as the red 200mW new style laser that O-Like has for sale. The focusing head is nice and smooth from the silicone grease used on the threads. It does not shift while focusing and the beam quality is great. It uses the same CR2 rechageable batteries.....the batteries for this laser go in opposite of those in the red laser. Positive faces the tail cap.

The laser spot is difficult to see outdoors due to the low wavelength, but indoors it is cool! I had to smoke up the room for the beam to be visible in my photos. The video I shot is cool, I am burning leather and lighting three matches. However the exact focus point of the laser was hard to see, the matches usually ignight instantly. Well i hope some of you will buy one of these, it really is neat!

Nice video and beamshot :thanks:
I was considering getting one myself.

Get some clear UV protected safety glasses, they will let you see the dot without the glare. They are no substitution for real laser goggles, nor will they save you from a direct hit, but are ok if you are very careful. Also Glenn (Scopeguy) sells some decent ones for $10. Once again they are no substitute, but they are decent.

HAHAHA as soon as i read the title I thought it was a brightsaber post since he has been flooding with laser this laser that about his first O like order. what a beautiful laser.

I can't wait for mine to come! Even though its only 10mW lol. I'm mainly after the purty color!

Any power readings? I thought you had a power meter
