FS: RPL-400 $1000

up for sale is an optotronics RPL-400 532nm laser. i got this beast direct
from Jack only about 4 months ago, the unit condition is still as new,
no visible scratches or chips anywhere on the laser, took great care of this.
to be honest, i have hardly used this laser since i bought it, maybe a few minutes of
use every couple of days. i have made more use of this laser in the last 2 days
testing its output on Kenoms thermal head meter.
recently, i was measuring the output with the adjustable cap, and was getting results indicating that
the laser may be under-powered and was in contact with jack about returning it.
now that i have tested it with the non-adjustable cap, i know for sure this laser is outputting
well above its advertised 400mw.
due to this being a high powered green,the diode has a very narrow temperature
operating range for maximum efficiency and the crystals/diode obviously heat up quick.
because of this, i was unable to get a steady reading on the meter.
ie - this lasers output doesnt flat out and stay at a certain power.
with a fully charged battery i tested this laser 4 times, over 4 minutes for each test with a cooling
break of 2 minutes after each 4 minute test.
within the first 4 minute test, the lowest output on startup was 278mw, the peak output was 472mw.
the average output fluctuated between 359 and 424mw.
during the last 4 minute test, lowest output on startup was 382mw with an incredible peak of 534mw!
the average output fluctuated between 415-479mw.
somethings come up and i need to raise around $1800 within the next 2 weeks so i will offer to sell
this amazing laser in the carrying case with battery and charger with the non-adjustable tailcap for $1000 shipped worldwide.
i would urge the buyer to get some proper goggles for this laser, the wickedlasers 532nm shades i have
are literally useless for this laser.

few pics

certification report

hmm this seems like a good deal. i might be interested

The lasershades wouldn't be useless, I'd rather be hit by 4mW of 532nm than 400mW.

the shades are ok if shining the laser around indoors, but not for burning.
alot of the green seems to get through the goggles when burning.

Awesome laser, awesome price! I wish I could get it. Good luck with the sale.

This is a great deal and if I didn't already have two awesome green lasers I would jump on this deal so fast...

thats almost same price i paid for my 260 rpl Where were you in feb lol
thats a great price what I wouldn't give for an extra 140 mw ;D :'(

hahah if you look in the first picture, you can see that the laser is so powerful, that it creates a shadow on the wall behind it of the tripod stand

dont say i dont take care of you guys here
this is your last chance to own one of the best and highest powered RPL-400 Lasers (still in brand new condition) at nearly 50% off rrp.
this offer is only valid for 8 hours, after that im deleted this thread and laser is no longer for sale.
if anyone is interested in this amazing laser, the price has been slashed
to $875 shipped.

What.

ANOTHER RPL-400? Jesus christ, that's 3 I've seen in just a few days. I would of taken this deal if I hadn't of already bought an RPL-300 :'(

Ah well. Thems the breaks. 300mW should be enough. I'll just skip a few generations and come back when hand helds are 2W for $1000

875 shipped no-way your giving it away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-?

I'd be MORE than happy to take this AWESOME piece of laser technology off your hands, especially at this ridiculously low price! Now where can I find $875.00? Sorry, but since I can't afford it, I HAD to give myself a laugh to prevent myself from CRYING MY EYES OUT :'( :'( I'm sorry that the laugh was at your expense, PLEASE forgive me? I REALLY would LOVE :-* to pick this up, but no can do, unfortunately.phoenix77

You know what. I think I may just buy this anyway.

I was gonna spend a whole heap of money anyway: http://www.laserpointerforums.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1212673883

So rather than a ton of little pointers, I could have an RPL-400 or RPL-300 up for sale. I'm sure there will be an Australian looking for a high powered greenie after the ban.

Definitely get this. At $875 he is practically giving it away. After the ban you can keep this awesome laser and sell the 300 you already bought to someone else in AU for serious profit.
