Hi everyone. I figured that I had some time tonight to write another bad review...SO HERE IT GOES.
Item Site Link
http://kaidomain.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=1246
Model: KD50 Version 1
Laser: 50mW Green Laser
Battery: 1X CR2 included
Today I received my brand new KD50. It took about 2 weeks for it to get to me, but unfortionatly that time doesn't include the 1 week it took for them just to ship it out. During the week that it took for it to be shipped, I had a very hard time talking/writing to the Help Department. For instance, I would send them a 2 or 3 paragraph email asking several questions and they would just respond back with just one sentence and that was it. They always left questions un-answered and at one time, they even appeared to get angry with me???
Ok, outside of that whole fiasco, I am very pleased with the product that I received.
As you can clearly see, the finnish quality of this laser is flawless. By far one of the best laser bodies/hosts I own.
Quality control sticker
Now as for it's performance.....
I have had some issues in the short period of time of me even owning it.. The push button assembly has problems with it. For instance, sometimes when I turn it on, I get a very dim or even non-existant beam/dot. This leads me to believe that there is either a bad solder or a faulty switch. Due to the fact that when I just wigle the switch with my finger, the laser flickers and goes up and down in output, I am 99% sure that it is the switch. I will either replace it, or fix it with some solder.
Switch in detail.
Un-assembled
Switch Looks very cheap
This is the ring that the switch gets pushed into. Please note that the switch isn't soldered into the laser. This is where I think the bad connection is occuring.
In the end, when the push button manages to get a good connection, this laser seems to have a great output, but unfortionatly, I can't give exact output reading due to my lack of owning a LPM. Beam is visible indoors with the light on.
Don't let this discurage you from buying this laser, for I believe that this laser really is a huge bang for your buck.
The overall quality of this laser is much higher than any DX laser I own.
Scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the best
Value: 8
Output: 6 (could always be brighter)
Battery type: 3 (I hate CR2's)
Finnish: 10
Quality: 5 (Fix the push button and I would give it an 8)
Divergence: 6.5
Company: 3 (Impossible to talk to)
OVERALL: 7
Thanks for reading. I will post some Beam shots at a later time.
Feel free to ask any questions. I will try to answer them to the best of my abillity.
