LAZERER STICK 1W 445NM
As far as I can find there are no reviews for this laser so this is the first (As well as my first review)
I POINTED THIS BEAST AT THE SKY AND NOT ONLY COULD YOU SEE THE BEAM 50FT+ AWAY YOU COULD ALSO SEE THE DOT IN THE CLOUDS AWESOME
Processing
6/10
I ordered the laser on 1/27/12. Max of course was on vacation at this time until 2/1/12. So I waited patiently. On 2/7/12 I sent him an email regarding battery confusion he responded within a day and said my laser will be processed soon. I sent him another email on 2/14/12 regarding why it was taking so long he responded quickly again great customer service. The laser was shipped 2/15/12.

The shipping was free so I expected a 3 week wait but it was shipped EMS apparently probably due to the long processing time THANKS MAX.
The Laser
10/10
I got the power certificate with the laser here are the results
Output(Max): 980mw
Output(Stable): 980mw
The laser itself is awesome it is 7 inches long (My lucky number ) and 3/4 inch thick. It is awesomely big. I calculated the beam divergence at 1.2mRad. It will burn everything I can light candles burn matches instantly and cut match's in half when focused. When on infinity it lights matches after 1-2 seconds and burns pretty much anything. It goes through a CD case in around 5 seconds. (My first laser that can do so). It is very well built. I love it.
Overall
9.5/10
Would be 10/10 except for the processing issue, sorry Max
Really cool pic
Beam Shot

The Dot (again)

Output 2
Unfocused
Engraved wood (Top was done while focused bottom was done on infinity(BS is my initials btw))
When I laze the ceiling yellow/orange stuff glow's :eg:
Another beam shot this one during the middle of the day and beam still visible
Comparison to 50mw 532nm (Mind you this was at 5:00pm (17:00))
Comparison to 50mw 532nm (On wall)
Comparison to 50mw 532nm (On black plastic (actually started to burn it with the 445nm even though it was 2 1/2 feet away)

Extra's
The laser will also work with CR123 3.0V batteries. It is not as bright as when I use the 3.6V batteries it came with. The beam is very visible, much more visible than the 50mw 532 I have. The beam is visible outside right now and it is 4:00pm (16:00) with snow on the ground it is cloudy though. The laser is also waterproof although I do not plan on testing that lol. The beam is blue and only purplish when I use it outside cause it is pretty bright out. It makes glow stuff glow great. I can engrave wood with it and light matches "the hard way". It light's candles with ease which I'm happy about . It will ignite paper quite well when focused . The laser get's hot around the 45 second mark and I strictly follow the duty cycle. It's the perfect laser IMO 1. It's blue (my favorite color) 2. It burns everything (I'm a pyro) 3. It looks amazing 4. It is exactly 7 inches long (As said before my lucky number )

*Sorry for the bad quality pic's I forgot my camera in Florida so all I have is my phone
p.s. What do you guy's think of this review ?
p.s.s. I have tried the laser with 2x3.0V, 2x3.6V and 2x3.7V and could not see a difference. Is there much of a difference when using different power batteries or it does not matter ? I do not have an LPM to test.
p.s.s.s. It broke 2 months later :scowl:
