I am not sure... I used to own a DX 200 green, but it definitely was not IR filtered, and it couldnt even light matches (but it did sting, and melt some black plastic)

Anyone have any experience with this laser, and do you think the price is ok? Is there anywhere else that I can get the same laser (or better) for cheaper?

How is the quality?

Thanks.

I have this exact laser. It is a well made CNI product that arrived with an avg output of 116mW's. It was the first green laser I purchased and I have not regretted it. The laser is a standard pen type body style with no safety features at all. So I don't think it meets the FDA requirements for an accession number for import into the US. However, they guarentee that it will arrive to your location. If it does get confiscated (slim to none chance), they will resend another.

And here another i...! Go Nova/laserglow/skylasers do a price check it may work for nova! Krep yourself away of techlaserd/WL you may end up paying a couple more $$ but if somethings happens they will do their best to have a satisfied customers, after all if you get good service most peoples come back. You may not take care of my little paragraph but its my thinking.
Sorry for typos i was on my IpodTouch.

Do not buy from Techlasers, many people have gotten nearly scammed by them because of their terrible customer support. Buy from novalasers.com instead.

Novalasers is much better.
They have better quality control.

Importation would not be a problem.
Nova guarantees delivery.

listen, go for optotronics, they are made right here in the USA. www.optotronics.com they have the most well made lasers, and the best customer service available, they also use one of the most powerful IR diodes.
