Just got my 130mW Evolution Pro

Check it out, there's much more to come. :wave:

Peaks at 175mW

$180 for a 175mW green? Not bad. How did you test for this power? (Sorry if it's in your Youtube vid, I can't watch videos at work).

Have you tested divergence? You may have gotten a pretty damn good model there.

Wow sweet, il get mine metered in couple of minutes with a Lasersbee II deluxe.

Also, instead of making this topic, you should have just written a review in the review section.

No it's not in my Youtube Video. My friend tested it with his power meter, and once it was warmed up it was cleanly producing power in the area of 173-177mW, and this is with fresh lithium batteries that combined may have a voltage of a little over 3.0 volts. Not to mention, my friends and I played around with our lasers from about 1.5 miles away from each other. My friend was using his DragonLasers 150mW hulk, which peaks at 210mW. However, his laser was only 5% brighter than mine. From around a mile away, he could see me shine my laser straight up in the air (that's how bright the beam is).

I don't believe my laser is a freak model, because I have seen other reviews of this model. The laser also comes with a power chart, and a lot of people receive lasers with outputs around 160mW with only alkaline batteries. Lithium generally boosts the power to 20mW over (for a short period of time). I am very satisfied with the laser.

The beam divergence is not an issue at all. Originally I was expecting a close focal point for burning, thus a large dot at distances. HOWEVER, this thing has a very tight beam. The beam, going straight up into the sky looks infinitely thin.

It lights matches with ease and pops balloons in seconds. I need to pick some up today to make another video demo.

When you get home you can take a look at this video too.

The total price for the laser is 197 bucks due to shipping. This laser was received within 4 days. Another one should arrive to me tomorrow.

Safety glasses?
