I wasn't quite sure what to put for the power in the tittle, because even though the sticker says "70mw", it has been discussed in a previous thread that is about 25-35mw of blue. I don't have my kenometer yet, so I don't know the actual power it is putting out. This thread will be updated when I get it.

It came in while I was at work, and it was eating me up all day. I couldn't wait to get home and try this thing out. Got off work, traveled home (speeding heavily) and ran to my room. Since blue is one of my favorite colors (along with orange) I love the color of this beam. The beam is slightly visible in a dimly lit room, and easy visible in the dark. I did notice (Yobresal did also), that it seems to dim after about 2.5-3 minutes of being on. I just let it sit for a minute, then it's up to full power again (looks like it to me anyway).

I'm going to do some videos when I get around to it. I have a lot of assignments due Wednesday that I have to take care of first.

Here are the pics:

Next to green 250mw laser. They are the same length BTW, but I'm still not sure who the green is made by:

Obviously not nearly as powerful as the green, but I like the color better. I can't wait to get a FS mirror and a motor to play with this baby.

EDIT:
I got my kenometer today with data logging. Here's the results with a fully charged battery. I think I'll be shipping this to Optotronics tomorrow morning.

The pic is kinda large, so just click the link:

EDIT:
With the recent cold weather here in AZ, I thought I'd try graphing this laser again. Battery was fully charged, just like in the previous graph. The only difference was that the temperature in my room was 15 degrees cooler with the graph below:
