Hello there!
Yes, I know, WL is not that popular on these forums, but I did not know that when I bought the WL Core one week ago off from ebay.  Of course I had tried to inform myself after finding the Core on WL`s website.. Unfortunately I bounced upon the "laser community"-forums, finding only positive reviews of  this laser.
So, atm, I am still awaiting the Core to arrive and wanted to hear your impartial opinion about this green laser. Was it worth the 40 $ I paid for it? Is it really the best "true" 5mW out there?

Thank you and greetings from Germany,
AceGWC



Ah, and I have to say: These forums are actually a hundred times better than any other laser-forums I found on the net.

Edit: Another question, the "laser community" forums weren´t able to answer because of the members` inactivity:
Will I notice any change in my laser´s output, if I use NiMH 1.2V batteries instead of alkaline 1.5V ones?

I've heard the CORE is okay, but most people would go with any of the Lyras from Laserglow.com

I don't know if they're the best, but from what I've heard, the cores are actually top-notch pointers. They're always under 5mW: 3.8-4.8 for the vast majority as far as I know

I opened up a core a few days ago and they have big crystals! around the same size as my broken dx "true" 50mW!

^ how much could I pot mod my core? 10-20mW? I mean pushing it within the limits so it will last more then 30 seconds. ::)

The best 5mW would have to be the lyra from laser glow.

I have had a Core for over a year now (I got it in one of WL's give-aways, so I didn't pay a cent for it) and have had few issues with it. I don't have a meter but it appears plenty bright to me for a 5mw or under greenie. So far it has been reliable. The only thing I don't like about it is the button is hard to depress - my finger gets tired pretty quick or I just put a clothes pin on it to keep it on for a couple of minutes when I need to, like for photography.

Hi!

My CORE just arrived and I have to say I am very happy with it. I will post a review soon, including pics of it mounted on a tripod and steady long range beam shots. If I manage to find my Yukon telescope-camera adaptor, I may also post telephoto pics.
