I have worked with rayfoss in the past and faona is really nice/helpful. I think I will go ahead and buy the 1watt. Have you tried yours underwater at all? I believe the RF445-1W-FWT is the waterproof model i was looking at...
And i guess you're right, you cant really screw up something like...
MrDave, do you have any more reviews on this laser? i found this same one by chance, because i ordered an ARCTIC before the whole rush of people, waited upwards of six months, and gave up on said arctic, and NOW want to get a powerful laser. How do you like this one? did you ever get around to...
JEEZ i have been saving for a few weeks for that same laser... and I'm wondering now, are there any lasers that are 200mw burning lasers that cost less than 200 dollars and DONT end up mod hopping? because maybe its just a matter of luck, you might get a crap one that you have to send back, or...
WL normally gets a lot of crap on this site for being over-priced and not as great of quality as you'd expect, I'm suprised noone has said anything to that effect yet. However the decision is yours to make, but I would guess that paying a little more for a lot more power might be worthwhile...
Good review! looking foward to photos :)
I was thinking of getting a 200 green (adjustable focus) from rayfoss, so it is nice to hear that the customer service was good!
And have you taken the laser into a pool yet? you really should try that, it sounds like it would be really fun
What color and power output are you looking at? if you have the money, more power to you :)
I think i will get the rayfoss one, just because if it works i'll be happy if it breaks i will learn, and I will let you know so you can say "i told you so"
I just want to one-up my friend at school, he...
Haha nicely put, however, didnt you state that you have no experience with rayfoss? As I hear, the lasers are pretty much reliable (mind you, not the most AMAZING) why do you say it is going to break? and do you think its not even worth it to buy one if I cant afford the CNI?
:thinking:
haha i agree :) someone told me that the only reason high powered lasers burn things is the IR, so if you put an IR filter on it, it will not burn. Is that true? And can one conceivably get a REMOVABLE ir filter??
Ok then I will definitely go for te higher powered one x)
well I was looking at the adjustable focus ones on RAYFOSS and they were about $150, there were also fixed focus ones for a little less. So I was prolly looking at $150 maybe $200 AT THE MOST if i work extra hours ;)
