Ok so it came today to my workplace, Ordered on Friday 12/10/2010. Called Jack after I ordered to verify things and he answered himself and told me "No problem it will be shipped in 1 or 2 days". Jack Shipped it that monday, and it arrived on tuesday ($170.00 USD for the unit and Overnight shippied for $28.00).
Product Link: Optotronics Green Pen Pointers
Specs from Optotronics site:
It came in a Nice little penbox, no batteries, host looks brandnew and imacculate. Pretty heavy in the hand for a "Pen" laser. This later is rated at Max Output>150mW. Jacks documentation indicated its sustained at 158mw, slightly over spec. No peak info (at least until I get my meter).
I have it running on 2xAAA Duracell Alkaline batteries (brandnew, but about 2 years old expire march 2015), 1.5v output each. This laser doesnt burn paper, light matches, or feel even slightly warm on the skin, at any range, which I was a little surprised at, being rated at 150mW. It does appear brightly on buildings about 1/4 Mile away, which was cool lol. Beam clearly visible at night and "reaches the sky" (but not terribly bright), and visible inside in moderate to full light.
So I'll start with your basic beamshots in dark and moderate/full light pictures from my Iphone, no steam, smoke or fog:
and 2 short films: :yh:

So basically let me know what you guys think? You think its actually outputing at 150mW? I was under the impression that with 150mW you could burn stuff.:undecided: I may need to change to rechargeable AAA's. it might not be getting the proper juice. Any comments are appreciated.
