Hey guys,

Finally have the joy to add another wavelength to my collection :) Enjoy!

PS: Bought AirMail shipping and it arrived within 5 days! Very pleased!

Basic brown box, nothing too impressive. I must say unboxing was quite easy due to the tape being easily cut, good job Laserbtb!

9398-004.jpg

Inside was newspaper used to "protect" the laser. A black box containing the laser was covered in bubble-wrap underneath the newspaper.

All the contents.

The laser feels very solid, wasn't expecting such build quality. The warning label reads Class IIIb laser Peak Power <500mW :wtf: I know this unit is over 5mW so I will be very cautious around it, and will try to get it LPM'ed ASAP.

The dot looks very neat and circular. Almost near perfection.

Expect picture later tonight, can't pick up 660nm right when the sun is shining in :(

9402-008.jpg

Blue LED indicator.

9403-009.jpg

All my lasers :D

Left to Right:
660nm/635nm/532nm/473nm

Overall this laser definitely impressed me. Wasn't expecting anything near what I received(as stated previously) and will definitely buy more from laserbtb!

9/10!

Awsome review. +1 when i get the chance.
What power are your other lasers. Also, you should try a high power 445. They're quite cheap in relation to their power.

Thanks!

My other lasers powers are in my signature. I will see about 445nm, trying to get 515nm next!

Heh, that Aquarius host is actually quite bulky. The last photo shows just how long the laserbtb hosts are too. Even makes NewWish pens look small.

FYI this is what they look like with the paint sanded off, ridiculously easy to do too:

Not suggesting for one second you should do that, but if you read the thread I explained why I did it to mine...

Even with 5mW people should still be cautious. 5mW lasers can exceed the MPE as well. ;)
