EDIT: LPM RESULTS CONFIRM THAT BOTH OF THESE LASERS ARE LEGITIMATE.
The green peaks at 642mW while the red peaks at 847mW.
Here's some information that I didn't include in the video:
The company XPL is also known as "S&H Laser".
Here are the links to the two lasers:
500mW 532nm Green
600mW 635nm Red
The lens threads on the red laser are very loose, so I added a few layers of Teflon tape. This made fine focusing much easier and I highly recommend you do the same.
The green laser has divergence of ~1.3 mRad.
The red laser has fast axis divergence of ~5.1 mRad and slow axis divergence of less than 1 mRad.
Once I get an LPM, I will make an update video including power measurements.
This video may seem a bit dumbed down to those of us here. My YouTube audience is not very knowledgeable about lasers, so it has to be that way.
Nevertheless, it has a lot of useful information and should still be a lot of fun.
With that said, let's let the video do the talking:
The green laser is the one used in my new icon.
