I ordered my laser about 3ish weeks ago now. There were a few hiccups in the beginning with a holiday and the post office, but after that was all said and done the laser was on the way. After it actually shipped it was pretty much smooth sailing from there. The laser arrived in about a week and cleared customs with no problems. Of course joker was a delight to deal with customer service wise along the way.

I have had it for about 2 days now and I must say it is truly an amazing laser for the price. I'm a fan of smaller flashlight-like hosts as they just feel natural in the hand and this one is of course no exception.

Unfortunately I do not have a way to measure the power output at this time, but of course I trust the Sci-Fi laser as many users have nothing but good things to say.

I went with the basic black host color and decided to go with the focus ring which is very smooth and easy to adjust.

With all of this said and done I can say as many others have that I recommend Sci-Fi lasers for a great laser buying experience.

Lol of course I have goggles. I may not post here much at all on the forums,but this is by no means my first laser. I have been building up in power level for a couple years. This is where I discovered sci fi lasers however so figured this is where I should post a review and show my gratitude .

As for more information I don't have proper equipment to give the exact information here in sure most of you are accustomed to. I am waiting on the lpm read out to be emailed to me. I was kind of disappointed it didn't come included in the initial packaging, but for the price and quality what is there really to complain about. It came with a wrist strap that feels a bit lackluster in quality, but by no means a complaint either. The threading for the tailcap seemed to have some minor metal material in between the threads making the initial screwing off a bit tough, but i lightly blew the threads off and wiped them down and all was well.

I really like the tail cap switch. It feels solid. Below the threads on the host is a o-ring which I presume is to help with moisture resistance to some sort of extent. There also appears to be one towards the front of the host as well. I use 2x 18350 batteries in it and they fit perfectly inside.

I have only run the laser for maybe 30 seconds of the 60 second recommended run time. At the end of the 30 seconds it does begin to get decently warm so I suspect the 60 second run time is well within reason although I may try and push it on a cold day and see what happens.

The overall weight feels great in the hand a little heavier than what id suspect the original flashlight the host was meant for to feel like. The focus ring is well worth the added money in my opinion. Easy to focus with a single finger. The brightness of the beam is just fantastic.
