Hi guys. I received my first laser a few days ago from a LPF member and I will dedicate this thread to it. I am going to a star party tonight at the Physics department at my university and they said they would help me measure the real output of it using some of their instruments. It says it is around 161mW (which I don't doubt) but I'm just going to double check it.
So far I am very impressed with the laser. The beam is very tight and has never changed its power output at anytime. I got some safety glasses for some burning tests and indoor use but as of right now I don't have any matches yet or balloons to test it on. I will post some pictures and videos soon enough though.
Thanks for all of your advice and help. This is a great community.
