O-Like's got a new waterproof torch on their site now. I am thinking of ordering the older waterproof 200mW red. But what do you guys think of this one?

200mW red laser torch/focusable/waterproof [OLRLTR200] - $53.99 : O-Like, Quality Products, Great Prices

they're always the same diode with different hosts, so just pick the one that looks better

Frankly, I don't like the GITD clicky on this model.
IMHO, It makes it look "toyish"
(you know, like the red tips on the barrels of toy guns?)

The old model looks very traditional, but the new one has a creative and interesting design. I like the new one, myself.

I would like the design on a flashlight with a striking bezel but I wouldnt go for that red, my favorite part is the tail cap lmao.

i just recieved the 200mw o-like laser, and well, it doesnt ignite matches w\o having a dot of sharpie on it and being about 12 inches away or less when focused (fireplace matches)... is this normal?... ive seen ppl lite matches from far away, but they were the small normal matches, could that make a difference?....... this is my first high power laser

Click to expand...

Fireplace matches are much harder to light then kitchen matches.( more mass to heat up)
Using 650nm (red) you almost always need to blacken the object @200mW.
405nm (Blu~Ray) is much hotter (shorter wavelength), so it doesn't matter what color the object is.
