I recently purchased a laser 301 523 nm from ebay... It got here today and i slapped a 18650 turned the key and viola it turned on and is bright... dare say I think just a tad more than the 5mw that the seller claimed.. It probably in the neighborhood of 20mw or more not enough to burn like the add said but hey for 8 bucks you get your money out of it.. I put it up to my laser pen 523nw that is suppose to be 5mw and I think it probably close to it and the 301 is twice if not three times more bright than my little double AA pen.. I know more juice comes out of the 18650 than the AA but I really think that the 301's that are being bought in masses by Us laser nuts are just a tad overspec.. I think any were between 10 to 70 mw over what they are suppose to be.. Is the done on purpose or Chinese not caring were they set the pot.. My opinion is the latter. I will post some beam shots when I get a camera that does not suck!
Edit.. The safety sticker on the laser states output power at 200mw I do not think this is correct!
