Hey all, I recently purchased a customized Blue fan Budget LPM, and as requested by Johan(Bluefan), Here is my un-biased review.
Service
Johan was extremely helpful, He went out of his way to answer my questions and satisfy my needs. I would have liked however for him to be online more often to respond to emails and such, It sometimes took him up to 4 days to respond to my emails, But in saying that he was having power issues beyond his control, Which he did explain to me.

Postage
After informing me that my LPM was complete. We discussed the postage options. After I had decided on which way I wanted to go(DHL, Express Mail, Normal Mail) I decided to go just with normal post. He posted it out the following night.

Range Switch
Whilst discussing with Johan about the head and the maximum output being increased, He informed me that the TEC was actually capable of reading up to 5 Watts, It was the circuitry which limited it. He then told me he would see what he could do to increase the maximum. The following morning I woke up to an email saying that he had managed to setup a mode switch on it which would allow the LPM to read lasers of up to 5 Watts, Leaving the switch on the left let me read up to 1999mW before the LPM would zero out again, I could then switch over to the 2 - 5W range allowing me to measure higher. He did this at no extra charge which I was extremely happy about considering I offered to pay him extra $$ if need be.

Calibration
For better accuracy, Bluefan offered to do a linear calibration at multiple wavelengths. He charged me 15 euro for this which I was ok with. Calibration certificate tells the rest:

Overall Product
Overall I'm really happy with this, For the money I spent, I can't complain.. I do have a project box on the way which I will be wiring up a switch, and proper battery circuits. Here's some photos:
The meter by itself. The blue readout is extremely bright. Easily visible through my OD4 Eagle Pair safety goggles.
My LPC-826 Build running @ 470mAh with a G2 Lens.
70mW Laserlands 532nm module in WF-501B(Puts out around 12mW of IR)
Overall Rating: 8/10
Timing was 44 seconds to hit: 300mW
So all up I have a 5 Watt calibrated LPM for $147 USD. I'd recommend Bluefan and his services to anyone who asked. This is my first ever review, So i'd like to say thanks for reading and I would appreciate your input. Thanks.
