The last laser i used was a red pen laser from the $2 shop so I'm probably not qualified to give a detailed review haha :p

But I'll definitely post some pictures, and video too maybe!

I'm awaiting the arrival of an o-like 150mW pocket green too. will write a review and compare it to my friends 50mW Wicked Laser, photos etc i know it's not particularly comparable but it's all i'll have to show the beam difference.

I did a review of the o-like 150 pocket, it's heatsinking is bad, but it's very bright and got decent divergence. Much brighter than a 50mW unit.

what is meant by "it's heatsinking is bad"??? sorry i'm really new to this lasering lark. i understand the concept of divergence but good / bad heatsinking, how does this effect the unit?

does it mean i cannot have it switched on for longer than usual periods of time before it overheats? i've already ordered it so too late to cancel. I'm not interested in burning things at all just a bright beam at night and probably wouldn't keep it switched on for more than 30 seconds at a time max... thanks for your help and advice. by the way has to be said susie has been very helpful so far, can't fault the service.

umm no.

NO WAY thats true.

I have 3 150mw Green lasers, 2 with friends, and they are all working PERFECTLY. No problems, nothing.

And the host is sooo awesome.

Rayfoss FTW, I even got a discount becuase I asked :D .


I've got to say I completely disagree with you. There are many cases of Rayfoss lasers going bad. I know from experience. The good thing is though that if you have a problem with a laser being dis-functional, they work with you to resolve the issue.

Yes, good customer service , poor quality control and/or poor products again at least with the higher powered lasers. I think the troubles start right around 200mW.
