My first LPM, EVAH!

Hi

This is a review of my first LPM purchase.:drool:


Ive been looking to buy a lasers meter since 2009. I could not purchased one because of lacks of funds. :cryyy:


Finally, last week money was blown out of the piggy:crackup: banks and decided to purchase a lasers meter.
Looking, trough a few threads on the reviews section ive decided to go for the Laserbee models, wich seem very durable, quality seems optimal and excellent customers service.

I was not settled on what model suit my needs, after a few hours of intensive searchs and pm to the sellers. Two models wheres compatible with my budgets:thinking:, the Lasersbee I-X and the LaserBee II, i have finally opted for the Lasersbee II 3.2W wich would most likely give better long-term usage.



The Transaction was pleasant, there was a slight confusion on my parts that was rapidly corrected.


The shipping was excellent, package was insured properly to the value of the goods.
Shipping was done the next day and well padded.
Excellent communication with fast reply.:angel:

Nice Review>:gj:

Its always nice to know what your laser actually are putting out.

I dont know what i would do without mine. I use them everyday.

Have you been shocked on any of your laser outputs yet.? In other words are any of your laser putting out more then you expected.


+:beer:

Nice to you were able to get a LPM after such a long time of waiting for one!

Nice review of your new toy Rangedunits... :gj:

@lazeerer, all of them are underspecs, might be because i am using weak battery.
@DJNY, The piggy bank suffered from intense smash.

Also, i had an eyes appointments after an indirect hit last week @500mW, my eyes seem to be in good shapes. The lady told me that she need to check my retina and optic nerve next week, when i asked her.


Edit1: Two camera was used for those photos, an Sony CyberShot W350 & Iphone4 back camera.

Edit2: Added two new photos.

nice review greg! Glad you finally got a lpm!

Hopefully your eyes will be okay. Try and be more careful!

Nice review.

But I think that the lasers are too close to the sensor.

There should be a minimum of 20cm distance.

Whats that thing in the fifth picture down? :crackup:

OWNED :tinfoil:

He may want to tell Jerry that the HLPM is no LPM or he had stolen it from someone else - at least it says "My first LPM.."

Nah, I dont have use for a meter. But if I did, I'd grab a Laserbee too. :angel:

For my defense, i never figured how that HLPM works despite the many explanation.

Jerry told me he met you, and taught you how to use it correctly. (Owned again)

Man just be honest. You dont need to hype it to make a great review.

Quote from Jerry from an e-mail conversation when I got my HLPM and didn´t know how it works:

It is VERY simple to use.... We have not had
anyone that could not understand our
simple Instructions... and we have sold over 200 of these LPMs...
