Hey guys, this will be my second review on LPF and this time im featuring the LaserGlow Anser.

I finally received the laser late tonight and this review will be short since most of it is the same layout as the Libra.

The Box

The box is basically the same as the Libra's box, very nice with a well detailed inside featuring the LG logo and the hole to store the laser.

Anser Vs Libra

8804-imag0205.jpg


Above I compared the Anser VS the Libra, as you can see the Anser is slightly longer but overall has the same host and a larger "warning label" :D

Output Power

My Anser averaged about 3.8mW and peaked at 3.9mW which is sufficient for me in my goal of achieving a rainbow, the dot is pretty visible and is definitely brighter then the "Libra's"

Current wavelength's

Above is just a fun picture I took to show how far I am in my rainbow collection :crackup: the picture appears fuzzy thanks to my Android camera but it does the job, these two wavelength's are also perfect for Christmas :)

THE BEAM!

I didn't expect to see any beam but I tried it anyway, I turned off all the lights in the room and a very nice green beam was visible. Im sure outside the beam would be a lot more spectacular but It is currently freezing outside so I will do that later.

Am I satisfied?

Yes, overall I love LG's host and feel they are one of the best out there in the current market, the dot looks great and being able to see a beam at only 3mW is impressive! LaserGlow has once again outdone themselves and most definitely earned my respect, GoodJob :)

PS: I will try and not rub off the *Anser* logo.

Thank you all for reading, once again sorry if this review was short and straight to the point, I just woke up and saw my Anser had arrived and I still need to do some Homework. Hope you all enjoyed reading and stay tuned for more reviews ;)

When reviewing people usually include the tracking info WITH the review of the actual laser.

Is this a review of the shipping?

In This case it would be a "UPS standard shipping review" not a laser glow anser review

I was thinking the same thing when I saw this last night. But of course I didn't want to post anything. It seems like whenever I respond to one of "Tha Greenlanders" post I start something. Anyways, my guess is maybe he will just update the OP when he gets the laser for the actual review.

Typically it's best to review something when you have it, otherwise it's just a UPS review at the moment :p

DON'T Post a review on a product, or service, until you have actually received the product, or the service has been completed! I know it may be tempting to post a review after placing an order, and getting great service during the order process, but hold off until you have the product, and it hopefully also surpasses your expectations.

Yes, that's what I was going for I am updating this thread as until it arrives to me.

As soon as it arrives I will complete the thread with a detailed review and pictures :)

Not a bad review, very clear cut and to the point :beer: obviously not much to say about LG's products other than positives (usually at least :whistle:)

Hey another me down huh? Your on your way.

Yes haha, still have a long way to go yet Tmack ;)

Edit: Though I have to ask, how is it possible to see such a beam with only 4mW of 532nm? I thought it had to be at least 10mW.

Very nice, thank you for the pics. The host looks very simple but sleek, how does it feel (heavy)? I'll rep you when I can :D

Thanks NO4H!

And the host feels slightly heavy and sleek indeed, it also features a very nice black glossy finish.
