Re: New Stock of Overspec 5mW Green **2/2011 batch is here!**

Hey got my lasers today!

The only thing I dont like about these is beam color on the sticker is red (I know thats how its supposed to be by law but I really like having the sticker being the color of the laser so I can glance at it and know the color rather than having to squint and check the nm)

Rough estimation suggests I got possibly

Peak - 26mW. After 30 seconds - 22mW.
and this
9: Peak - 59mW. After 30 seconds - 31mW.
or something like either of those

Thanks!

No problem! There is a sticker-maker somewhere on LPF you can find it and print them out yourself :) then you can make the color any color you want!!

I recieved mine yesterday, but I have yet to insert any batteries and see the beauties in action. I hope to put in new AAAs later today and test all of them on my LPM.

Then I will post back here with the powers of all 5 I ordered.

Thanks again swimminsurfer for great lasers!!!

I bought a look alike on ebay and compared it to my super beast, and it looks like my super beast is much brighter. I can barely see the pen's beam at night, but i can see the super beast's when in partial darkness.

Saying you bought a look alike green pen and trying to say it is like the ones swimminsurfer is selling is basically saying you are comparing a life size painted wooden model of a Bugatti Veyron to the real thing.

Yes, they look extremely similar on the outside, identical if you would like,
but all of the difference is on the inside of the car.

The real car can actually move and run at around 253 mph for a top speed from a V-16. Versus the wooden model that can't move at all, let alone hit any top speed cause it has no engine (maybe if you push it ;)).

My point is there are a thousand and one different green pens available out in the world with different drivers, diodes, crystals, and then the quality of those parts to go along with it. The pens that swimminsurfer sells are one of them and the single one you found and then comparing it to the 'super beast' is one of the other ones.

And comparing them (swimmingsurfers pens to the pen you have) is not logical or with good reason.

I am not angry at or have any negative thoughts towards you. I am just letting you know why you shouldn't compare them. :)

Now, if you can prove somehow that the pen you have is the same type of pen that swimminsurfer sells, however unlikely, then I will retract my rant and provide an adequate apology because I was wrong.

Where in my post did i say that i was comparing the look alikes to swimminsurfer's? Im sorry if it sounded like i was saying bad comments about his lasers. I was merely stating the fact that some ebay ones aren't as bright as the Super Beast one.

Re: New Stock of Overspec 5mW Green **2/2011 batch is here!**

You know what...I definately read you post incorrectly/misinterpreted the part when you said:

I bought a look alike on ebay and compared it to my super beast...

I thought you were stating that you bought a look alike from ebay and you were comparing that pen like it was one swimminsurfer's to the super beast you already had.

I am sorry I made a big deal out of nothing and misinterpreted your post. I was trying to defend SS256's (SwimminSurfer256) product, but it looks like you were never attacking it in the first place.

Please accept my apology.

Sure. I know SwimminSurfer's lasers are great, as my friend has bought them before and they worked extremely well. I would buy some..but apparently I had already bought 5 super beasts before seeing this post. Too many green lasers now.

Thank you for that :) I appreciate it! Also.. excellent choice of car if I say so myself.

Bad timing :/ although I'm sure a laser named "super beast" should live up to its name! Maybe in the future :)
