EDIT: Given the bad feeling and suspicion by some of the forum members, I want to stress one thing.
This review can be good, fair or poor, but is honest and based solely on my point of view, without any interference of any kind.
This laser in question I bought paying scrupulously the store price, not a penny more not a penny less.
And I have NOT received any discount, money, gifts, or any other compensation for making this review,
I did because I wanted to make, and also to help the forum members on the possible choice on this laser, or not, thats all.

Before you begin, sorry for the mistakes when writing in English,
and this is my first review too, (I have no previous experience in this area).
And for these reasons I expect yourselves to be lenient with me
----------------------------------------
NOTES OF LAZERER COMPANY:
In the process of purchasing and shipping, everything went without the slightest problem.
I paid with PayPal.
I have not had to seek any help.
----------------------------------------
SHIPPING AND PACKAGING:
Spent a total of 10 +/- days from order to receipt of the package.
The laser was purchased on July 17, 2011 21:39:07 (central European time), (July 18 for them, in Asia)
Both the package and the contents have arrived in perfect condition and very fast,
(for a shipment from Hong Kong), Only 8 days.
The laser was shipped from Hong Kong on July 20, 2011, and arrived on July 28, 2011.
----------------------------------------
PACKAGE CONTENTS:
A box for the laser, the laser, 2 keys, and the power certificate (Optional, $2).
The power certificate included graphs for IR filtered, and non-IR filtered power output.
----------------------------------------
FEATURES:
Model: LZCS532-200 (link to this laser) >>> LZCS - 532nm 200mW Focusable Green Laser Pointer
Price: $89.99 (At the time of writing this review).
Wavelength: 532nm.
Labeled Power: <200mW.
Body: Black anodized aluminum.
Battery: (No included) 18650 / 16340.
Dimensions: 145mm long x 23mm diameter (5.72" x 0.91").
----------------------------------------
TEST AND CONDITIONS:
Note: Tests were performed 4 times for results as accurate as possible, with breaks of 10 minutes between tests.
The laser was tested with a full charged 18650 Lithium Ion battery, 2600mAh (unprotected).
Room Temperature: ~25.5ºC.
LPM test instrument: LaserBee 2.5W USB.
Distance from diode to sensor: 20cm, (7.87").
Beam Diameter: ~4mm.
Test Was Done During for 185 Seconds in each test (total 4 times).
Max. Output without optic: 212mW.
Max. Output with optic: 206mW (In some of the test, a little less).
Average Output: ~192mW (In some of the test, a little less).
Current consumption: 0.63 Amp. at 4.0 Volts.
Watts: 2.52 Watts (Including the driver).
Divergence Is: <1.1 mRad Aprox.
-Can Light a Match quickly, Pops Balloons, Burns Dark Plastic, Ect.
------------------------------------------
PROS:
Good price for this power.
Focusable laser.
Quality, are acceptable for the price.
Laser is in the power advertise +/- (But including the IR) and according to the certificate this is 16mW.
(Sorry but I don't have IR filter yet, to check it).
Safety Key.
Nice Spot and Really Bright.
Its light weight, and moderate size.
In some test, I've had it ON for at least 4 minutes, and only heats moderately.
-----------------------------------------
CONS:
Fluctuations in the power output (I guess for this price you can not ask for much more).
The Driver Is is really basic and soldered directly to The diode Pins.
Because the driver is welded directly to the diode, and is subject only with 2 pieces of foam,
if too much pressure is applied to the switch, the driver can be bent.
Divergence can be better, but for the price is not bad.
The optic has no cap to protect against dust.
No Battery or charger Included in the price.
-----------------------------------------
Overall Conclusion:
I thought it was a pretty decent laser for its price, with good power-price.
Above all, what I liked least is, the fluctuations in power output (but these are almost barely perceptible to the naked eye),
the driver and its placement.
-----------------------------------------
NOTE: Some judgments are personal and subjective, and may not match those of other people.
And now some pictures.
Thanks for looking.
