Yesterday I received my 200mW SFCR laser from Sci-Fi lasers, and so far I am thoroughly impressed with it.

First off, it shipped extremely fast from Israel to the U.S., just a couple of days, instead of months like my blue laser.

The first thing I saw when I opened the box was this complimentary power graph of my lasers peak and average power, which was 37mW overspec. So positive thoughts before even operating the laser. He takes it with a LaserBee 2.5W power meter so you know it's accurate.

Before I get into the laser itself, here's the simple specs:
- 650nm
- 200mW
- Power supply is one 18650 (3.7V) battery

For a red laser it is very bright. It has a nice beam at night, and I'm sure it would look incredible with smoke. I couldn't capture the beam on camera but I got this:

It burns just like advertised too. It easily lights matches and other things, for instance my phone...

Yes, I burned a smiley face on the back of my phone :D It doesn't take long, just focus it correctly and it should start smoking almost instantly.

For $40 I really couldn't imagine a better deal. What really sold me though was the customer service. Eitan's a great guy and answered all of my questions in a quick and friendly manner. I loved buying from him so much that I just purchased one of his first 405nm lasers. Check his lasers out, you won't regret it!

Oh, and don't forget safety glasses! They are a must with this laser as it will blind you if you're not careful

All-in-all, I give Sci-Fil lasers 5/5 for everything. Just like he advertises on the website, "Best lasers, at the best price, with the best service."

Here's some pictures of the box it came in:

Great laser. I have one of these too. It's 276mw every time I take a reading and is one if my most stable lasers. And it does burn pretty well. Just wait till you get that 405 if you think this one burns :) . I also have jokers 638nm700mw 501B. I believe that's the same host as the 405 your getting.
Be sure to post pictures.

Yeah I can't wait to get it, he shipped it a few days ago so I should have it pretty soon :yh: I'll make sure to post a review of that when it arrives.

How much was that 638nm of yours?

I actually traded for something's so I can't really put an exact value on it. Plus I'm sure joker will look out since you have gone to Hume before . As you know he's a great guy to deal with .

Well he certainly deserves the good reviews! :) Like I said above, I'm going to be posting a review of the 405nm when I get it, I'm sure I won't be dissapointed.
