Today I recieved my X105, my first high powered laser. Over the week I was thinking, "Is it really worth spending $230 on a bright light that can burn stuff that any lighter or magnifying glass can do on a sunny day?
After popping in the batteries and turning it on, my answer was YEAH!. THIS THING IS ABSOLUTLY AMZINGLY AMAZING. They also sent me a free diffractiong grating! This thing peaks 122.3mW and averages 113.2mW. Shreds matches, ballons and melts plastics. Lights fuses and does pretty much everything a 110mW laser would do. After playing with it for a while I thought I saw something by the dot, and sure enough, IT WAS MODE HOPPING. I was devastated, I thought I would have to RMA it but I stuck another pair of batteries in it and now it works fine, but this thing just sucks down batteries, so I'm gonna use rechargables. Overall I am very happy with this laser. Do any of you have a rough estimate on how much less power it will put out with the rechargeables? I'll post pics tonight.
