Just received the laser on sell from this thread:
http://laserpointerforums.com/f39/fs-ft-500mw-635nm-custom-ehgemus-host-price-drop-72303.html
Sputnik77 was really quick with shipping!
I PMed him on Saturday to ask if the laser was still available. On Sunday I saw his reply, and proceeded to pay him through google checkout. He created the shipping label literally minutes after the payment went through, and shipped it the next day (Monday).
I received the laser today (Wednesday). The laser was packed in a bubble mailer, inside a bubble mailer, inside a small priority mail box. Nice!
It is in perfect condition, I love the finish on it:
To be nice, he included a primary 16340
The laser itself is beautiful. I love the quality of the clicky, and the host in general. I was surprised by how lightweight it was (85 grams), but it definitely gets the heatsinking job done!
It is slightly under 1inch by 4inches, so it much smaller than the C6 style hosts I am used to.
What really took me by surprise was the brightness, this is the first time I have seen 635nm light. Though I knew the brightness calculator says 500mw of 635nm is 85% as bright as 1W of 445, it just blew me away seeing a red that powerful.
One final note, the custom focus adapter (made by sputnik) is a perfect addition to this host, it makes it SO much easier to use!
Overall the transaction couldn't have been better, :thanks:
Some Pics of this laser in action, by me. Also a couple random pics for my friends from SWTOR!
