hello.........i don't find the thread about the olike 200mw new diode. where is it?

i would buy a good laser... without to get an handheld.
i looked to opto 150mw.. it is the best for the price... and ir filtered.
BUT... the olike diode is much cheaper...and is about 180mw in power(not 200mw as advertised)....but filtered i think it is about 150mw green... am i right?

so.. for the same amount of about pure 150mw of green... with olike i could pay less... but...in your opinion..what should i do? i live in italy.. here custom is VERY VERY annoing. a single diode would easilier pass custom... optotronics pen...i don't know!!!

the question is... if the olike diode has TRUE quality... o it is only a lower power module overdriven/pot modded. i've never understand WHY from a while time... a lot of module use a BIG TRANSISTOR in the back face of the button. is ia a CHEAT to improve power WITHOUT improve quality? ........experts could teach me :)

ah.....IF i get the olike o could try to use it in the silver bottle shape host CR2.... or buy a 1xaaa powered star laser from DX....replace the diode... and use a 10440 lion(that i own).
but olike power graph...use 3 v. maybe 3.6 (4.2 fresh) could break/overload the laser.....

They would probably be outputting similar amounts, depends if you want to be able to use a custom host and have to do some light DIY work to get a laser how ever you want. Or get a pre-made pen style host with a good name and guarantee but a steeper price.

I have a review of a 150mW O-like module in my sig, if you were going to get a module I would recommend going for the 150mW since they are normally over spec and have had a lot more testing done with them. Only a few people own the 200mW module.

thanks vitalyx!

asherz.... i have bad opinion regarding the 150mw module! it is the same module 80/100mw.. but with higher performance... i BOUGHT and received a 120+ pen laser from olike...(150mw diode) and it was very underpowered. it was like mi 30mw laser... maybe 50mw... but not more. the beam was the SAME. maybe i only got bad luck......susie told me the problem was temperature(it was summer)... but it is impossible to explain so much less power.

ok... module could be better from the pen..( but the 120+ pen use the same 150mw module).
but.. i prefer to buy another NEW module...and not a pre assembled pen... italian custom could block it with 50% poxibility :( :(

you said "to do some light DIY work" eheheh work is a BIG WORD :) only put the module into a pen host,fix it with glue super attak, and enjoy it :) but i don't know if the voltage can be MAX 3v... or also 3,6/4.2 volt.... in that case... a single AAA pen host with star lense and 10440 lion will be AWESOME:) so much power(over 200mw i think with 3.6v) in a little toy :)
