I recently bought this product, and I am not satisfied with it at all... http://focalprice.com/product_6687.html
It came in the typical newwish case, and had cheap chinese batteries, like I expected...
The output is about half of what they rate it as, but is not very stable... about 30-50mW...
I expected more from focal... ::)
OH, and also the laser sticker was on the "wrong end" with the batteries, showing that laser radiation was coming out of the end with the batteries :O

Did you get that power reading using the batteries that came with it or with good batteries? Those cheap ones that they sent you might not be giving the laser near enough juice.
