Other notes: Threading is not rough or scratchy, it is not all lubed up and gunky either. The Threading works fine and there really isn't anything to note regarding it good or bad. It functions as it is intended.

On with the photos.........




















The Power of the green laser continues to climb up to 190mW past what is shown here on this graph.

Considering the nice hosts... not bad at all.

You mentioned that 18350's would not fit... how tight is the fit lengthwise though?

How is the quality of the threading?

Edit: MUST GET GTID picture! That's awesome:beer:

The 18350 will not fit in because they are too wide. I can't tell you how the fit length wise because they don't fit in the laser.

Oh my gosh that is a great price for a >150mW green in a safety host! Thanks for taking the plunge, Yob!

I know what's next on my list....

I have added night time beam shots.

Great review! +1
I am glad you are also satisfied with your experience.
I have another 2 reviews coming up of SKYLasers' products!

Thanks for not appreciating the 'plunge' Scotty 757 and myself took!
Just kidding.


And Yobresal, add the 10% discount code to the OP - 716513518239.

Thanks! Yeah I have 3 more lasers hopefully coming soon. I ordered them with these 2 but only received these so far.

Looking forward to the other 3 reviews!
They told me it takes longer to get to the United States due to customs.

Does this place only ship by DHL/EMS? I'm not seeing a shipping option that isn't $26.

Yes. They only use DHL/EMS.
I covered this in my review (Link in signature).

Ah, didn't see your review before, thanks!

I'll have to wait until I've got enough to place a big order then, not worth spending $30 on shipping for a $50 nonessential item. Good deals though, that's for sure.

Yeah. The prices surprised me too when I first came across the website.
Use the 10% discount code with your order, with a larger order that should more than make up for the shipping costs!

The shipping costs are actually really good, considering DHL/EMS goes super fast. (I'd recommend DHL over EMS)

Hey guys, if anyone is interested in the 100mW 405nm let me know. I already sold the 532nm. i would ask $45 for the violet to cover shipping costs and paypal fees. Not making any money on this just offering it up now that I have reviewed it. It would make a great host for a 445nm with all the safety features.

Any idea on the divergence of the 532? or is it too late?
Are these smaller than the old pl-c from jetlasers (if you have experienced one before)
Nice review as always

Already shipped it out. The divergence was not bad though. It was good. I just don't know how good. It is much smaller than the PGL style and very similar to the PL-C. I would have to see them side by side to know for sure. I posted dimensions so if you can find dimensions of the PL-C you can know for sure.
