ok so i found the post thread button... hahahaha all these months and only found that button now. i'm just not use to this forum set up... took awhile to find the b/s/t navigation as well. anyways...
ok so i've heard some bad things about this site. i had a positive experience for the most part.
this product was around 670 or so including ups shipping.
let's first start by looking at a pic of the case this laser came with.
it has a pretty snug fit so the laser body doesn't bounce around or fall out... at least i've never had that problem with carrying it all over the place and the case rolling around in my bag as i move it where ever.
next on to the picture of it fully assembled.
now on to power. the laser site says it's 300-360mw, i don't have a LPM. i have pictures to compare it to a rayfoss 100mw. rayfoss's 100 if i had to guess is around 70 of green light (correct me if i'm wrong or way off XD) That is reflected off of the white box rayfoss' lasers normally come in so its all blobby looking. i totally forgot to get a pic of the dots when viewed from protected glasses so you can see the actual size of the dot (if anyone needs that pic i will post it.) i think it's clear that the dot isnt bigger cuz of mrad, but rather the brightness. this laser does appear to have a power that is with in the 300 range based on other lasers i've seen (unless they were all underspeced) XD
this is a beam/dot shot at 9:36am hawaii time.
FYI that's my sis' poster not mine XD LOL.
now on to the only fault i found with this product so far. it's not TEM00. i talked to someone on LPF i forget who it was (sorry XD) and they said that it wasn't detrimental just lacks burning power, unable to do certain experiments, and lacks cosmetic. since i had no need for burning ability since i have a 8xBR i kept this one, but i was told that mode hopping is enough for a return since they claimed tem00. the tem is more like 03 or something like that if i remember right, its' a dot cut in like 4 pieces vertically ()|||() something like that pic<<< but rounder of course XD.
it could just be that i got a bad one and that most are tem00 when they ship it out the first time around.
the one thing i find a bit disheartening when i referred back to the laser for this review right now is that they changed the duty cycle to 100/10 meaning 100 sec on 10 sec off. i hope that's just to show a more conservative cycle. originally it was 5 min on max. i sure hope they didn't get caught "over stating it".
sorry if my words aren't all technical or pro like the tem pic i tried to make with the text XD LOL. i'm more of a laid back person i guess? this is the end of my review. sorry to put rayfoss in this review, but it's only reference of power i had. rayfoss is a good seller though... actually she sells a laser that looks similar to this one with similar stats. she started selling it after she updated her site which looks cool now, she's cool by me too
