I took the gamble and ordered a laser from TAOBAO. The order was handled by a now banned member (read more here).
THE LASER
I didn´t expect much, just a working laser in a host I haven´t owned before. Paid $55 + $6 shipping + $6 handling fee - $70 total incl PP fees. The laser case included a 18650 batt, a charger and the laser itself. The laser if focusable, has a rotary shutter (like the PGL-III-A) and a safety key lock. A blue LED shows when the key is in ON-position. The LED is (gladly) more decent compared to order LED indicators we know (VIASHO f.e.).
SHIPPING
The whole process from ordering to the receive took a bit less than 3 weeks. Communication was fine during the time Laserhunt wasn´t banned. Got a PP notification when the laser was sent out including tracking. The laser came in a solid white case, wrapped in chinese communism propaganda pages taken from a book, and a solid carton around.
POWER
Average power is between 68-70mW, peak at 73mW. Very stable and just 5mW IR in the output. Laser is able to pop balloons and light matches.
PICS
The box containing laser, 18650 battery, 2 keys and a charger (not in this picture)
Labeled as <4000mW
Rotary shutter for safety and for dust cover
VIDS
Can be watched in HD 720p
Beam focused into the "flashlight direction" - no smoke in the room
Igniting a black colored match
Overall experience
It´s quite nice laser. $1/mW, and the lowest IR I ever measured at my greenies. Shutter is a big + for me, also that it is focusable in both ways. I also want to thank the guy who ordered me the laser. He turned out to be honorable and a man of his word!
