Since I had lost my other 50mW green (rated 60mW) and I couldn't live in a world without 532. I decided to get the chrome host 50mW pen from O-Like
Packaging and shipping (6/10)
It came very well bubbled wrapped in the usual white singapore post envelope. Instead of declaring it as the usual "Flashlight for gift" susie declared it as "Parts of LED torch $15 gift" It took 10 days to arrive to NZ
It didn't come in a box but instead in a retail style bit of packaging which strikes me as unusual for a laser. I'm disappointed by a lack of box.
Host (9/10)
This host is shiny and feels nice in the hand. It's awesome and looks way premium compared to a newwish pen
It does look like it may get scratched though
Divergence (7/10)
I haven't measured the divergence but it seems pretty average. When I point the laser at an object 100m away the dot appears noticeably bigger than that of my other 50mW O-like laser but since I dont have that anymore its just from memory
Modes and Stability (8/10)
It appears to stay (most of the time) TEM00. But like virtually all pen lasers it does get affected by heat and sometimes dims. It appears this laser doesn't like cold. The stability is still good but not as good as my other O-like greenie but that wasn't in a pen
Brightness and Beam
As a 50mW green it is very very bright. The beam is somewhat visible in a lit room and very visible at night.
Sorry for the bad pic stupid jitters
Burning
As a pen laser dont expect a burner. I can pop black balloons but that seems to be it. I left my googles at a friends house so when i get them back i'll try burning with a magnifier
Overall
Good laser and nice host. Would recommended except its got some stability issues and O-like has better. 8/10
