I know 532nm DPSS lasers aren't priced as high as they use to be, but i still couldn't believe i got this for under $100 along with aluminum case, battery, charger, and 5 star caps. I found it on ebay but I've been seeing it on a few whole sale sites. As well as the same model in 405nm for $50-$70. But this greenie isn't too shabby! Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's pumping out mass amounts of IR, but it's still bright as hell & burns better than my 300mW Krypton. It's focusable and has great battery life. I've also ran it numerous times over 3-4 minutes before it even started to get warm. I use it constantly and it doesn't seem like it'll be crapping out any time soon :) Wonder if i got a luck of the draw unit or if the chinese company actually cares about quality haha anyways thanks for checking this out!

Unfortunately i don't have an LPM, but my Krypton was bought from a member here who metered it at 380mW and this ebay laser burns NOTICEABLY better :) I'd estimate 300mW of green and a couple hundred mW of IR. Seems pretty stable too!

I forgot to note that i asked the seller if it used a glass or acrylic lens & they said acrylic but wpuld put a glass one in at no charge. I figued it was just something they said & hoped i wouldn't check lol. Well I've had this model laser in 445nm before (dead now) and still currently have a 405nm one and when you take the focusing heads off them, the lens housing is black and level with the focusing head. On my green one though, the lens housing is silver and sticks out a little. You can see glue on the silver too. Again wondering if this is actually a decent seller or if all models come like that...

Let me know if your lens is like how i described. Also see if there's foam around the spring on the driver like most Chinese lasers. This one does NOT have foam which again makes me wonder if maybe it really was modified for a glass lens. My 405nm one not only has foam around the spring, but the foam is glued in.

I know I'm almost positive I've ruined my camera on my phone from too many beam pics XD i tried a couple times but couldn't capture the real "greeness" haha just like i use to get great 405nm shots but now they don't show up as anything but blue. This is way more 532nm green than the pic shows i swear!

Are you using any smoke or anything? That is an incredibly clear beam:eek:

Just the smoke from one small herbal session lolol don't get me wrong it definitely helped with the beam shot, but i can still get an impressive unbroken beam in my grandparents house and that place is beyond smoke free haha and don't even get me started on winter nights!

I hate anything tobacco related as well so it really wasn't all that smokey in that pic either. I think you're gonna be impressed when yours comes and you personally get to see!

How's that??

Ahh much better. You said only $100? Wow, that's tempting. I was looking at the 532nm from laserbtb but it's $170 for 300mw. I'm eyeing the 18650 battery in that case. ;) It certainly looks like an ultrafiery way to burn down your house. :D
