Hello CaliKirk,

I know man, Im amazed! Been a very long time since I've owned such a powerful 532 laser! When I first was LPM'ing it I expected a little over 200mW but it kept climbing to 300, then 400 I was like damn when is this going to stop haha :p

Yep, they still ship all kinds of lasers to the US :)

Sorry but what is DL? :D

Also, if you guys had any knowledge on greenies for me I'd like a to hear your opinions. I am thinking of buying either a 1W 520/532 or a 700mW 520/532

What I'm looking for in this is a nice solid beam but also a tight spot. I'm probably going to grab a beam expander in the future but thats gonna be a little ways off for now. Any advice you have is greatly appreciated :D

DL = Dragon Lasers

If you want a tight spot and a solid beam then you probably want the 532nm - they'll have the tightest beam. Lots of options for companies, you could take a little risk and go with XPL... I'll let some other suggest something else. 1W 532nm in a handheld is a little harder to come by - for example, LaserBTB only offer up to 700mW, although the output could end up being higher than advertised ...

Just did another test & got a peak of 470mW, so almost 300mW over-spec yikes! Yes, DL is DragonLasers :D

My gosh! When I was reading the title I expected catastrophe. But, no, catastrophe will only be for whatever you point that thing at... :)

My Spartan 589 is a monster like this. 200% overspec. So it looks like DL is sending out a lot of overspec units now... Nice find!

Thanks Sta! Yes! This is very good news if DragonLasers keeps sending units like these, could lead to tons of more business. I wished they offered other wavelengths in this host though :(

Thanks for the info :D

I was only thinking of 520nms cause I think I can build them cheaper :p

Does that laser have an IR filter?
Click to expand...
I believe it does seeing as it's from DL (A CNI reseller)...

Also, from their site:

Our laser pointers ONLY give out green light. Green light is the most visible color to the human eye. This makes the beam from our laser pointers very bright with a spectacular vivid green color. Shoddy green laser pointers on the other hand do not just give out green light, they also give out infrared light.

Gotta get me one of those! Haven't yet seen a 532nm above 301 laser kinda power levels. Bet it looks great! Nice catch Hap

Edit: Got any more pics? Would love to see more.

Hello ElectricPlasma,

That is the only one I took on my phone today. I can definitely take some more night shots if you want? :yh:
