It is near impossible to buy a 1mW 532nm Laser that
outputs no more than 1mW. The Chinese need to sell
all their over 1mW lasers to countries that have laws
that limit the import powers to 1mW...

Enjoy your >1mW Laser and be careful if you don't
already own appropriate Laser Safety Goggles/Glasses.

That is NOT a 1mW laser. More likely, you're looking at at least 50mW, and possibly over 100mW. Treat the laser with care, as it will damage your eyes if you can't a reflection.

cheers guys ...yeah i know its obviuosly well over the 1mw it was labelled as being ...i hav adjusted the VR pot 3/4 & beleave it or not i have left the Power OutPut Monitor connected on this driver aswell ..i could squeeze quite alot more power out of this by re-hosting with better heat dissapation and adjusting the POW . ive started the build allready with a host from CREE ...this will allow me to use 2x 18650`s ......need to get a test load built up quicktime also ..cheers

hey magmabeam , yes it does burn insulation tape but only assisted with a another stand alone lens ...i would imagine with glass lenses dialled in perfectly this would burn un -assisted ...not got matches around to test .

I'd guess more like 30-50mW. :D

Nice laser.
It's good to see a successful "pot mod" every now and then. Reminds me of the Leadlight days.

I've managed to light a match with a 50mW, and a second lens, never anything lower though. I guess just to smoke black tape, it could be less.

i`m pretty confident it would lite a match ,,,certanly feels hot enough if i give the dark parts of my tattoos a quick blast ..lol , i think i just got lucky with it , the internal build quality is brilliant ..this is my second 1 of this specific type , my 1st 1 was way more powerfull but sadly died about 3 weeks after modding ...( pot mod + power output monitor removed ) thats y this 1 needs another small VR accross the POM ...then i can up the power gradually ....i`m pretty confident with re-hostin , more efficient heat transfer & better cells i can get this £19.99 1mw maplin pointer burning un-assisted .
i just find it more of a challenge to get the most out of something small ....we all know that anything above 100mw is a burner .....there should be a little challenge set to acheive the most ...with the least ;) amen ! lol
