Hi, i noticed this and i straight away knew it was NOT 200mw for the price it is.I was curious how many mW though?

DealExtreme: $46.81 200mW 532nm Green Laser Module (3V 11.9mm)

If it was a 120-150mw laser that would be a good laser for the price. Has anyone done a review?

Thanks

I thought daguin got a few of these last year (or late 2009) and tested them.
IIRC, they didn't put out more than about 70-85mW.
For the money, I would go with o-like:
100mW: 100mW industrial green laser module [OLGLM100] - $58.99 : Welcome to O-Like.com, Your source for laser products
or 200mW: Green laser module 200mW For custom build or lab [OLGLM200] - $115.99 : Welcome to O-Like.com, Your source for laser products
You are sure to get (closer) to the rated power from o-like. Don't waste your money at DX. :undecided:

I've got one that I put in a pen. It's putting out 80mW and is pretty steady! I like it. Just know that you have to de-solder the wires off and solder on a spring for the battery contact. Not hard to do even for beginner soldering skills. Let me know if you want to know anything else about it!

Nice thanks for the info! I am going to get the 120mw green laser from odicforce. Do you think that these are true 120mw lasers?

Looks exactly like the DX module to me. I have only dealt with Odic once and it was a great transaction. I would say go for it and let us know about it! You have a LPM??

At the moment I currently do not have a LPM but hopefully soon I will be able to afford one! Do you know where I can get a good LPM from for cheap?

I will get this laser as I have had no problems with odicforce before.

Thanks

I recommend searching "radiant alpha" for a LPM. $100 for a 2W meter isn't bad! Keep us posted on the module when u get it!
