I just got a true 5 from dx, (and an x-65) well i held the true 5 to a baloon and it poped it within 5 sec, wow talk about overpowered 5mw it will punch holes in trash bags and all of this without a lense or anything, i guess its not eyesafe like i hoped.  Now if only the x-65 would light a match, its got a 71 average and 89 peak which is right at the begining because it starts out sur bright then lowers alitle.

Does the silver top on the true 5 come off, cause i need to clean the lense with a lenspen because all the speckle and dust on it, you can tell its dirty from the dot it throws.

...lazer... ;D ;D ;D

Its definitely over powered. As far as what is over powered in it im not sure. You may have got a mutated greenie or simply too much IR. Any case, you got something nice for a good price.


As far s the scatter, i believe the caps DO come off, but its hard as heck (At least mine was) They dont screw off-you need pliers and a hell lotta elbow grease...... I wouldnt recommend opening it up. It scratches the paint a lot and pretty much dements the thing. Plus, your not even guaranteed that it will open.

You could use a QTip or Cotton swab. Although, micro fiber cloth is probably the best bet. For the Qtip-put maybe like half a drop of good quality lens cleaner on it.... GENTLE swab the lens and then use the dry back part to dry it off GENTLY But then again micro fiber cloth is probably a much better bet :)

I know, and i had gotten it so it would be something to play around with that was eyesafe, guess not ;D. A q tip wont work, not even my micro pro lense pen will fit down it without taking off the end cap but it already works so good i dont think wiping off the dust on it would change much.

It will also go straight thru a trash bag in about 2 sec ;D

i cut up my micro pen.... just pull out the black part formthe pen and take a knife to it.... got it nice and skinny it workd pretty good.... i am disapointed with lenspens though their supost to be all great and perfect dots whare as mine still leaves specils if i point the dot at the wall i can see faint specls on the shelf ablve it with the dot blockd off but hey i guess since they cant get the divergenct perfect you cant get the spot crystal clear either anways the cut down micr pen worked the best for me
