Re: O-like 400mw green - $208 (hitting 600mw) - Review

It can only be made of aluminium, because of the heat transfer. It will no way be of any kind of plastic. But others can answer this to you better than I, because they have it while I am only waiting for it.

If you can not wait for this one, there is an 175mW option for you, also at O-like. Its the 200mW transformable. If I will not receive the ordered 400mW for any reason, this one I would order. But of course I can understand you; you researched and found this one, now it´s gone again. :yabbmad:

Otherwise on the other sites I did not find any real alternative for this price. Some are about 300$, and saying "1W output", but the real output may be less that the 400mW here.

I think I´ll get the 150mw Spartan + Expander

I dont want to wait long ^^

P.S danke für die Informationen mein Deutscher Freund [zu Nachbar wink ^^] (ich lebe ihn Österreich xD)

For what it's worth: I ordered my O-Like 400mw on March 10, and my order is still listed as "processing" in my account.

As of now, I haven't received any cancellation emails, and I still have a Completed -$213.00 USD listed in my Paypal, with no pending refunds. If I get a laser in the next week or so, I'll let you all know!

I don't think anyone has measured the IR output yet, but there's nothing on their site about the new 400mw being IR filtered either.

I advise you to clarify that issue with Susie and not to sit and wait for your laser.

It is unlikely that everyone here got a cancellation email and you did not.

And even if you get your laser eventually, you'll never know if it is defective or not.

My opinion: Cancal it even if O-like didn't send you that email.

I've already sent an email to Susie asking about the issue. I'm waiting for her response before I decide to cancel.

Re: O-like 400mw green - $208 (hitting 600mw) - Review

I ordered the 400mw OL-532-350 a few days ago as well. Still shows processing in my account and i have received no emails from o-like.

I have a number of different quality IR filters and plan to measure this laser and test its duty cycle. The OLNG-350 I have is amazing in that it has a very long duty cycle and is IR filtered (but with a cheap IR filter).

One thing about IR filtered lasers is that the quality of the IR filter is also a factor. many use cheap IR filters which are sometimes just glass. they do absorb some of the IR but not all of it. BK glass is better. dichroic filters are even better but then with those it depends on the quality of the coatings etc. So you can say "IR output was only 3%" but then what was the IR filter that was used??

I have 5 different kinds of IR filters and can measure the IR filtering with each to get a better idea of what is possible.

Where do you get your ir filters? and which one is the best for allowing green wavelength to pass and filter out most ir?
thanks

I got a similar message from Susie. She also asked "so I wonder if you want to go ahead your order or so. We will ship your order tomorrow" I never got the refund from last week, so there was no price difference mentioned.

"Today we have new stock again
and they are all good items
so we will ship out your order tomorrow

Sorry for inconvenience

Susie"

Compared to some other laser companies I've dealt with the past, O-Like seems to have some speedy customer service.

Got the same email from Susie.

I replied Yes, obviously.

If they truly are going to send each one of us his laser tomorrow, that's going to be a big shipment.

Mine has been in processing for 7 days now also. I hope this is because they decided to wait for ashipment of good products, so mine will be OK. Ordered on 3/10. Also, the new stock seems to have gone up on price.
