Did you ever test it on a LPM? What results did you get? Also what duty cycles do you run? How often you use it?
Thanks man..

Hi there! I actually traded this laser for a PS Vita back in June 2013. It worked well since the last time I've used it and my buddy said that it works fine still but that was a year ago.

I never got to test it at an LPM so I do not know. Sorry.

When I first got the laser, I used it daily for about 6 months and then only used it occasionally then. I don't know how often my friend uses it. I remember using this laser alot to burn the crap out of black objects. Anyways, the duty cycle I had was maximum of 15 seconds and 30 seconds off. I still use this with my lasers and only one broke but it was basically broken when I first got it anyways.

If I happen to not have the laser on for 15 secs max then I just compensate. Let's say I only had it on for 5 seconds, i'll leave the laser off for about 6 seconds or something like that. I hope this helps!

and bumping a 3 year old thread haha..

I didn't even notice that lol I deleted that last comment lol

i had the same laser, it worked for over a year, then it LED'd and i gave it away as a pointer since it still could output a nice beam. it worked very well, burned well too. if had to give an estimate id say its 150+mW.
