Bought this, what do you think???

Hello guys, i recently bought this laser : http://www.focalprice.com/detail_LP165B.html

I am waiting for it to arrive . How powerful do you think it will be???
Have you bought this????
Please tell me if you know.... :wave::wave:

I think it's a 100mW 532nm Green Laser Pointer (Black)

I have no idea what the output power will be... I normally wait till
an ordered Laser arrives before I test it..

It is most likely not going to be 100mw but it will most likely be around 50-60mw but if it is you got a hell of a deal!!! keep us posted.

I will keep you posted! Thanks for your opinions.
I think it will arrive on thursday at my house...

Has anyone received it yet???

I have a similar laser and it works good the only problem is cleaning the lens. If I were you I would have dropped a few extra dollars on a nice rayfoss torch. I just got mine and I must say its great check the reviews!

can the lens be cleaned???

unfortunately with mine it can be cleaned somewhat but not to the extent that I would like.

I have found these!

They are extremely cheap with free worldwide shipping!!!!
HOW can it be???Is there any possibility that they are up to spec????Have anyone bought from there????

Focalprice lasers are known to be completely inconsistent in output, so it's mostly a matter of if you got a good one or bad one.

Even if it turns out to be a 50mW, you still made good on the deal

Back when DX was still shipping to the USA without any trouble, I bought one that looked just like this one. The casing was solid brass, which made the whole casing an EXCELLENT heat-sink, & I never had any trouble with it getting hot. It was rated @ 30mW's, but according to my LASERBEE I, it was putting out 78mW's. This leads me to believe that it's like RANDOMLUGIA said, due to manufacturing inconsistencies, you won't know EXACTLY what the out-put is until you put it on an LPM upon arrival. Here's a tip on cleaning the lens on those lasers that works pretty good. As you know, the lens is somewhat recessed, making it difficult to reach with a cleaning cloth. I cleaned mine with a "LENS PEN MINI" which did a great job. Prior to me buying the LENS PEN though, I took a Q-TIPS, pulled off all the cotton on one end, which left me with a blue, hollow, tube. Then I cut a small section off of a MICRO-FIBER cloth, & with a toothpick, I stuffed some of the cloth inside of the plastic tube, leaving enough hanging out to moisten with AR lens cleaner. I did the same thing to the other end of the Q-TIP tube, but left THAT piece of MICRO-FIBER cloth dry, for obvious reasons. I should mention here that the Q-TIPS that I used were the real CHEAP kind from the dollar store (100 for a dollar), I use the cheap ones for doing stuff like this lens cleaner, applying glue, etc. The REAL Q-TIPS don't have a hollow blue tube, they put the cotton on a solid rod of some kind of stiffer material. I hope this was of some help for ya. rob

Anytime, pal rob

I actually believe it would perform up to par, not counting IR. I knwo I've said this a hundred times before, but with lower prcie companies quality usually begins to drop off around 150mW.

Edit: O-like used to sell a very similar laser, I'm not sure if they still do.

For twenty dollars they are most likely not going to send him a 100mw laser! just saying but you may get lucky

I have one just like this one. Using 3.6V battery, I get a peak of 123mW and 85mW average. Good divergence, heavy case as phoenix77 stated.
All in all for $20, a very good buy. + Paypal had a $20 back offer for FP going on then. Ended up costing me $.06 for mine:na: Best 6 cent I ever spent.LOL

My bet is it will be 57.623mW what is the prize for the closest guess :crackup:
