Anyone know if these O-like products are any good?

100mW 650nm red laser pen/ focusable /Pop balloons [OL-650-100P] - $11.99 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce

RGB laser systerm combine optical lens /2pcs in a pack [OLRGML] - $16.00 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce

808nm,1064nm IR filter [OL-FL] - $3.50 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce

The dichro's spec sheet on O-like look very similar to CNI's dichro's... RGB beam combiner,dichroic beamsplitter,red/green//blue laser combining, full RGB laser.

I'd probably buy one of DTR's projector optics kits if you want dichros. The other products are probably okay for their price; I wouldn't expect anything special.

My opinion is that for the lenses you cant beat the deal that DTR is putting up. As for the small focusable laser, that "pops ballons" well if it really is 100mW than it might be a good pointer for the price, and it looks good too... on the other hand if you are searching just for 100mw 650nm you can also check wallbuys, they have great discounts in this moment.

It seems that the o-like 100mW red laser is cheaper than wallbuy's 100mW red lasers, interesting why it's so cheap... even for o-like. As for the IR filter, it's to check IR in my lasers. The dichro's I don't really need need, I just stumbled upon them at o-like and they aren't very expensive

Probably, but I don't want to buy everything separately and pay more for shipping than the items themselves

Yes that is a PITA, having an item cost less than shipping has no sense. Sometimes I end up buying more than I really need just to make the shipping worth the cost.
