Why is Dealextreme so cheap?

[quote author=Diachi link=1228171496/0#4 date=1228173019]The ledshoppe lasers seem quite good actually, the 5mW lasers have been found to be mostly more powerful than advertised, sometimes by 8-9 times the rated output. I expect the same from the 50mW.

EDIT: well maybe not 8-9 times more powerful than stated for the 50mW, but somewhat higher output than stated. ;D

Not good at all. Unless it's anticipated and the buyer has access to a LPM.[/quote]


Yeah it can be dangerous , it's not so bad if the 50mW is over powered, as it's already powerful enough to do damage, but if someone thinks a 5mW is safe and it's actually not 5mW it's 45mW, that could be a problem.

I ordered the 5mW a week or so ago, it should be here soon. I should also have an LPM soon .

so would i be better off buying a 50mw from ledshoppe then a 5mw from DE?

im assuming the answer would be yes, but being that i live in the US, would i for sure 100% get it if i ordered it?

where's a good place to get LPMs? would love to test some lasers i have in the works
