It seems like DX is working their way up to a PGL and flashlight style laser with some serious milliwattage soon.
I know the green lasers from DX are a crapshoot, but they're generally honest and don't present their products as anything their not. And in general, even when way under spec, I don't think I've seen anyone with a DX green that still wasn't a good deal for the mW vs. what they actually paid for it.

GAH !!! Only on the proven items....with the vast array of items they are selling anymore - it can be a valid question....so I guess I need to find a different crusade now

Buy one and send it to me to test ! If they are using the new-wish laser modules, POSSIBLY it is IR filtered....wont know until someone tears into one

That would actually be awesome if you wanted to do that ! I have lots of IR filters, and would be willing to test it out

I find this DX product a bit of a waste really. In my opinion, it would be much better to see a series of higher powered laser in form factors like this one:
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.7116
Running of CR123 instead of CR2 is a bit of an advantage, but why should a laser look the least bit like a flashlight?
Incandescant lamps can blast off their excess heat as IR radiation, but LED ligths and lasers cannot and hence need heatsinks. Someone should figure that at some point.

The Idea to use this form factor was to have the room to house the newly built circuitry, Higher Power LD and heat sink.
