almost 14" long w/ the extension tube and the assult crown is quite sharp-
so if you are not blinded you still would not like being poked in the face for sure.
I am anxiouse to see the peak on the two 700/532 PL-E shipping next week- I will be awesome to have one in each hand- If the one Regina got is a typical example we should see 1W or so-- but even just 700mW and the long duty time make this a prize laser for sure.. The 445 1.2W PL-E I have here has had the same 26650s in it for weeks with no sign of needed recharging yet. Does anyone know of ANY company offering a bigger (size) handheld?? IDTS-- I expect a large order for these IF there is a GB #8-- for sure it will be the crowning jewel of any collection...
plus add the big 12X BE and it will def 'reach out and touch' from distance.
The 532/700s were a special order- 600 mW is the biggest that is offered otherwise.
The new pics will be placed in this thread( so sub it)
BTW just like any laser- alterations/upgrades or just taking one apart voids all warranties so you would be doing this at YOUR OWN risk. That is standard policy on lasers AFAIK.
Trying to 'FIX' something that is not broke has generally been a bad idea IMO.
