80mW 450nm laser pen /single mode/round dot [OL-450-80P] - $79.99 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce


what would you expect the range of this laser to be? how bright would it be compared to a green laser?

what is the advantage of the single mode of this laser?

The green laser is still 10x times brighter, Beam: (532nm 20.4mw) vs. (450nm 240mw)
The dot is much better than a typicall 445nm diode. It looks like the dot from the LPC-815 diode in blue.

I have a similar laser. The dot is very bright and round and the beam is visible at night, however, it is not a classical beam like you would see with a green laser. It is a cool blue-black look. I find it very pleasing. The dot is clearly visible out to about 1500 ft. It can be seen further, but it is harder to separate from the beam. I hope this helps. I'll try to take some beam shots tonight.

ok cool is yours 80mw as well? and side by side is it brighter or less bright than a 5mw green laser dot....and the pics will be cool too!

I have one for sale. Twice the price with triple the power.

ok cool ill let you know if im interested.... hows the divergence and range on yours.. ?

Here is a beam shot of the 450nm beside a comparable power 532nm. The picture exaggerates the blueness of the 450 beam. It does not look that blue to the eye.

ok thanks...also what is the main difference between this one http://www.o-like.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9&products_id=190 and this one LZSK - 445nm 300mW Focusable Blue Laser Pointer the price is the same but one has way more power...does the "single mode" or other features give it some advantage such as better divergence ?

ok thats a good beam shot.....and yes the camera can be tricky with the beams...i learned that when my 50mw 405nm has a better beam than my 10mw green on camera lol---i assume in person the beams look about the same correct?

Actually the green beam and dot are more visible in person. Comparable, but the green is definitely more visible.
