You'll be lucky to get even 50mw out of it with loads of IR. I would look somewhere else.

Don't even bother with them. They sell junk... Look at my story in the reviews section! Junk man... Ordered a laser, worked for 1 minute and died and hasn't worked since. Now I'm trying to get my money back from them, but I don't know if i will see that money and I'm left with a broken laser.

Don't even bother. Check out price angels.com instead. John is a rep from them here, and you're more likely to get what you want and the customer service is way better than any other drop-shippers or resellers I've seen.

It is highly unlikely that they will let you return a product and if you do youll have to ship it internationally.

If you want to be happy with a laser check out o-like.com

I second Udanis on this one. They don't communicate well; I'm currently trying to do a return as well and have yet to hear back. An exchange would suit me just fine except they aren't responding. I have a huge worry my time, money and advice is going to waste...

Please consider o-like or price angels instead... Unless you did a spontaneous order and are asking our advice after the fact in which case I would suggest you cancel the order and try to get a refund.

Just my .02c

I have this laser and for the price it is good.:D
Here is my review of it + LPM test:

>>>http://laserpointerforums.com/f52/200mw-green-keychain-laser-focalprice-com-57933.html<<<

If i remember correctly mine put out ~83mW of Green when i put my glasses in front of the beam When i was testing it. Now this is not the right way to test for IR the proper way is to use an IR filter that i did not have available at the time.

Also Lots of members here have order this laser with most of them being around this mW Range.

The only think is horrible is the divergence. Mine as 2.0mRad.

wow, at that divergence I would be tempted to pull the head and try to adjust the optics.
Not much loss is she calves but for a dpss laser, that is pretty harsh.

Hey, thanks for the tip but i have already tried this. There is nothing you can do to improve the divergence on this laser. I have tried turning the lens and it doesn't help it at all.

I would say the problem is the Concave lens that is attached to the LD Assembly right above the crystal not the convex lens that you can turn.

update:::::::::Oooops! wrong thread, sorry

Just received one today from Focalprice. Had a paypal claim going the whole time! I paid $12 extra bux 2 have it within 7 or 8 days. It took 28 days. Free shipping is faster and less danger of customs taking it.

The batteries! That's what I need to ask about. First they don't mention most of these pointers are case (+). Luckily, they must have reverse battery protection, because it's still alive!!

They come with two 1.5v AA batteries. So, if that's 3 volts, what else can be used? How many volts can it handle? I probably can't use two 14500("AA size" rechargeable) 3.7v because then it would be getting 7.4v and 8.4 when fully charged. What about two common rechargeable 1.2v batteries? Then it probably won't be enough!

Yeah, you're right. Actually, I have both. The keychain has one ICR 10440 300mAh3.7v battery. Please don't be confused just because I'm stupid. I read the other thread on the double AA one and then came straight to this one.

There's no problem with having one rechargeable ICR 10440 300mAh3.7v. I do apologize. It still would be nice on any of these if they would orient us to the correct case (+) polarity without having to guess. It's not on their site or in any of the feedbax. I found out by the lone youtube video posted on this item.

.........well, back to the other thread!!!! later.
