About the company
I ordered this laser a very long time ago, at the end of March, with Airmail shipping. What a bad choice! It took more than a week to arrive and then, after one more month, it was seized by customs.
Kevin from laserbtb promptly sent me another laser with express shipping (I had to pay him 40$) and after two weeks the laser finally arrived.
But that’s not all: the safety goggles were missing, because he forgot to put them in the package. He refunded me their cost and I had to buy them somewhere else.
Overall I’m not very satisfied by laserbtb; its customer service is not the best I have ever had, although he helped me with my first problem.
Final rating: 7/10
About the laser and its accessories
At a first look I would have said that the laser came in a nice lockable case. The case is actually quite cheap and it took me some minutes to make the locks work. However the case is not a very important thing.
The laser came with no battery but a battery charger was included. It’s nothing special, but it seems to do its job.
The laser itself is really huge and quite heavy. There are many stickers on it as you can see from the photo; the top sticker is not well aligned to the laser (I know, I know, these are very little details. But as Steve Jobs said, details matter). Also, the DANGER sticker says that the laser is <500 mW, although the laser should be rated 200 mW.
When I put the battery into the laser for the first time I didn’t realize that the key lock was already unlocked and that the front shutter was open, so as soon as I pressed the red button the laser shot a beam against the black case. The led near the switch button is really little bright, I almost can’t see it at daylight.
Overall I can see that not everything is made with a great accuracy. This doesn’t actually matter very much, but I’m quite used to perfection in every detail.
Final rating: 7/10
About the laser itself
The laser is almost as long as my forearm, and I like it; its weight gives it a high-quality feel. It has three safety features: a key lock, a shutter at the aperture and a safety pin on the back, which can be used to remotely control it using a switch.
The laser is very bright at daylight, although I cannot see the beam. The focus isn’t very sensitive making it easier to get precise focal lengths.
I can’t measure the power of the laser since I have no power meter, nor I can’t check the wavelength and the IR emission. Sorry, this is my first review and my first high-powered laser, be patient.
I tried burning some duct tape and I could cut it in half just in a few seconds as you can see from the photos.
In order to see the beam at daylight you need just very little smoke, and you can see it with no smoke at all in the evening or at night.
I’ll keep using the laser for some time, and after an extended period of usage I’ll update this review with some new photos and the laser’s final rating.
