Question About DX Lasers

Does anyone have the ''True 5mw Green Laser Pointer'' from DealExtreme?

This one here: Cheap True Green Laser Pen 5mW

I've heard positive feedback and reviews about this laser pen from deal extreme. This one here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mu-IEMqLkXE is the best review and unboxing video I've seen so far.
It seems to be a great 5mW laser pointer but I'm not sure about how powerful it is, but it stills amazes me.

I'm thinking on ordering this one from DX but first I need your opinions to be safe.
So yeah, here comes my question..

Should I buy lasers from Deal Extreme?
Is this a good deal?

Are you looking for 5mw specifically?

Chances are pretty good its going to be overspec... probably 20-45mw. And for the exact same style, you could get one on eBay, seller id truevalue.... Listed as 5mw, more like 30mw, only 4-6 bucks depending on listing (they are all the same, just tries to squeeze out extra money from those who dont know)

I got that laser from fasttech the other day and it even said DX on the side of it. Fasttech ships faster then dx and is just all around better. I metered it and if I'm remember correctly it metered at 45mW, but I can check that for you.

This may be the wrong thread to ask this but is DX a reliable site for laser parts in order to build a laser?

^Yes for me. i have bought hosts and drivers that worked great. though i had 1 bad experience when a battery charger went BANG! if you're looking for something like a driver, make sure you check it's output. if you want a host, theyre amazing. i bought a c6 host for like $10 incl postage. it was great quality and when combined with a heatsink gives decent runtimes for it's size.

Thanks, they have now gained a customer :beer:
