Review of the Adjustable 1x AAA Green Beam Portable Laser

The Adjustable 1x AAA Green Beam Portable Laser is a green-emitting, DPSS laser. It uses a a single AAA cell -- not two AAA cells like most other "pen-style" laser pointers and portable laser do.

It comes in a handsome brass body with a black finish and chrome colored bezel, tailcap, and spring-loaded "lobster claw" keychain attachment.

It also comes with a holographic "stars" projection head that screws directly onto the end of the laser's "business-end".

SIZE



To get the laser to turn on, first be certain that there is an AAA cell installed. If there isn't, then install it (see directly below), and THEN you can go irradiate something.

Aim the laser well-away from your face first. Press & hold down the button on the barrel for as long as you want or need the laser spot, and release pressure on the button to neutralise the laser.

To use the holographic "starfield" projector head, just screw it into the laser's "business-end", activate the laser, and spin the projection head. "Stars" will be projected from the laser's aperture and will change configuration whenever the projetion head is spun. You need not spin it hard; just give it a gentle twist to watch the "stars" change.



To change the battery in this green laser, unscrew the tailcap, and set it aside.

Tip the used AAA cell out of the barrel and into your hand, and dispose of, recycle, or recharge it as you see fit.

Insert a new AAA cell into the barrel, nipple-end (+) positive first. This is the opposite of how batteries are installed in most other laser pens, so please pay attention to polarity here.

Screw the tailcap back on, and be done with it.


Measures 389mA on my DMM's 400mA scale.


TEST NOTES:
Test unit was purchased on Ebay on 03-29-14, and was received on the afternoon of 04-14-14.


UPDATE: 00-00-00


PROS:
Uses inexpensive and readily available batteries
Form factor (size in specific) is much smaller than other green DPSS lasers
The price is right!

NEUTRAL:
Keychain is not on a swivel

CONS:
No CDRH-mandated laser warning label -- this is what nocked ½ star off its rating
No safety features required of a CDRH Class IIIb laser; this is what lopped off the other ½ star

Great review, awesome little powerful laser!

Is it the same series with this: styropyro?

Probably not, not sure though.
