I bought this laser
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Green-Power...8&qid=1391258226&sr=8-1&keywords=curtzy+laser
Since it was reduced from £20 to £5 and I was interested in buying one for astronomy.
(Worth mentioning I'm new to lasers)
It arrived and I was confused to see the specifications of the laser different to the ones on the box and on amazon.
I took some pictures and posted them on imgur for you to see, I don't believe it is that much as I tried to light a match (even with black sharpie on it) and nothing happened.
Here are the pictures (They are high resolution, 4000x2248 so remember to zoom in on them if you are struggling to read)

Unrelated: The batterys it came with were crap, so I put in new batterys and got a very bright spot on the wall, a small thin beam in mild lighting conditions and a very nice beam at night, perfect for astronomy.
The only fault(?) is that if you push the button harder, it's brighter. (I'm not joking here the brightness does vary on how hard I push the button. A friend also confirmed it for me when he had a go with it)
