Should I buy the PL-E Pro 445nm 2W Blue Laser?

I think they do a very good deal with the goggles, tripod, laser and other things. I finally want to get an all rounder laser which can burn and can be used for point at the stars at night. I am willing to spend around £300 on everything I need (Goggles, Bipod, Beam Expander, Holster, (Good) Charger, AC cable and anything else I have missed)

P.S. A little about me, I've been fascinated by lasers since I got a little 5mw red laser pointer from a shop about 6 years ago. I've owned in the pas a "500mw" red laser from Dealextreme, a "200mw" green laser from Dealextreme and now I own a 532nm "1000mw" green laser from a shop in Turkey (More like 200mw I think) for general use.

I want to advance to the next stage in this hobby so I came here and my next step is to get a "daddy" laser.

Thanks.

Oh and also I am still waiting for a 200mw red laser from Dealextreme which I ordered....

15 months ago....

:wtf: 15 months.. Must of got stuck in customs or it just got lost:bumpit:

For stargazing, 50mW is enough, but for burning, should 1000mW+. I bought a 1500mW Levin blue laser pointer from LaserTo today, hope can receive it next week.

So far have they offered you a good service? And also have people brought from there before? Before I want to spend £300 on a laser (Which is alot of money to me) I want to make sure I get something in return.

I ordered one almost a month ago. It worked well, but I realized that I bought it on impulse at the time and sent it back. It looks like it got lost in the mail.

Really? What makes you think that? Did tracking show anything abnormal?

I was thanking of making a new laser host taking the best looking parts of wicked laser and jetlaser and making one awesome looking laser! I like the size of the jetlaser I would make it take 2- 26650 batteries what do you think of something like that?

Nope, it shows that it left the Chicago sorting facility on the 6th, and Gray sent me an email saying that it probably should've arrived in China by now, and there's nothing showing on his end that it arrived in China. He also called the post office and EMS a few times, and they can't find anything. This will be the first package i've shipped to China that's MIA.

I think that's a great idea. The Arctic does look slightly better than the PL-E Pro, but the PL-E Pro has a better size. It'd also be great if it could run on 2 18650's with adapter tubes as well.

I like the design and power. Go for it!
