was it one of those ones from DX/KD? I have the KD one, this one seems to be different than the DX/KD ones.

Hey Solowgregg - Which 200mW from Focalprice do you have that measures 80mW, the $74 pen-style, the $80 "fatbeam", or the (now out of stock and off the site) one similar to the 300mW in this thread? We do club laser shows 4 nights a week and I order every week or two from LED Shoppe (their $25 50mW greenies) and we sell like 6-10 of them a week at the shows ... Now I'm looking at offering something in the 150-200mW range and the price point is great on the $74 cheapies, but if they're THAT underpowered I wouldn't want to resell them at the risk of misrepresenting the product...

Also, has anyone else had good luck with the $151 300mW greens? There's a review on the site now from someone who bought one and it tested at 150mW so I'm a little leery to dump $150 on one for myself and I'm not thoroughly convinced the 500mW monster would be a good idea for me to have around :)

Nothing of the Lasers you mentioned are off the site...

http://www.focalprice.com/product_1374.html <-- the one cric8r got
http://www.focalprice.com/product_5243.html <-- the "300mW" ...

Edit:
Someone with a LPM at focalprice wrote that he bought this "500mW" Monster .
When he gets it he´ll test it´s output.. (Here is his tracking number RT010603385HK ^^" )

OMFG a LP forum member :D :D
I knew that i´ve seen this nick before ^^


[highlight]€dit:[/highlight]

Okay there is only one thing which is stopping me from buying this laser:

The warning-label of the one which is shown on Focalprice says "...output <100mW..."
thats a little bit confusing because they said that they had send you the false unit but the output of yours is WAY higher :-?
What does the Label on your laser say?

[highlight]Edit²:[/highlight]

Mhm...
I think i read something wrong ...
You ordered the Camouflage one , got a Laser which looks like the black one , but the internals are still the same as in the Camouflage one? A little bit confusing :-? Please confirm that !

ABOVE IS COMPLETELY TRUE BUT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Here is what is going on:
The one i received looks just like the 100mw model but is actually the camouflage one.  Blank---------------------------------------------------------

AND if you can see the top of each of the two lasers:
http://www.focalprice.com/product_1374.html  <
http://www.focalprice.com/product_5243.html  <

Product 1374 has no inside ridge, but mine does like 5243.

All i said was that i contacted live help and they told me it looks like 1374 but has the guts of 5243.
HERES WHAT THEY SAID:
"We ran out of the 'camouflage' as we sent you the actual parts of it"
What they mean by this is that they modified the one they sent me into the camouflage one by adding a bottom portion to make it cylindrical and painting it army style.

Hope all misconceptions were resolved by this post: :p

Heh Heh... Let's REALLY make this an interesting thread - I just ordered from FocalPrice (with EMS shipping so it should be here by Wed or Fri) the following toys to test: LP056B (50mW green laser pointer), LP058B (150mW green laser pointer), LP041B (200mW green laser pointer), and LP035G (300mW green laser pointer) ...

NOW I need to find the best deal out there on a decent LPM, nothing too crazy or high-tech, I have wanted to pick one up for awhile to test the outputs on our show lasers anyhow so I figure what the heck, why not "give back" to the forums and help others out in making decisions as to which lasers are a good deal, crap, etc - so I need someone to recommend a good place to buy one and some ideas which are the best "bang for the buck" in an LPM - HELP!!!!

(We sell laser pointers at all of our shows, but I really don't know how the market is going to be for the high powered stuff (we sell between 3 and 6 50mW handhelds a week right now but even though they're a hot item at $40 I really don't know how many people will shell out $100-200 for a higher-powered toy), so my plan is to offer any handhelds I test to forum members at cost if they don't sell at our shows - this way I can keep playing with different stuff and hopefully help out a bit...

Again - any ideas on a good, cheap LPM? Thanks!

The LaserBee is a good choice.

A word of warning- I've heard that EMS shipments are a lot more likely to be searched by customs.
