Hey guys does this look like a good deal for $200.00?

[NightOwl]

Aliexpress.com : Buy CREE XM L T6 1800LM Zoomable 5 mode camping Aluminum Led flashlight torch+2*18650 Rechargeable Batteries+Charger+Holster from Reliable charger phone suppliers on SKYLasers - FDA Certified Power Guaranteed Laser Pointers

Comes with the goggles, case and charger plus free shipping. Also, how much brighter is 300 mw compared to 100mw? Im upgrading.

Well first of why buy from there? forget thats a true 300mw laser, maybe half of it if lucky.. why dont you buy from laserbtb that gives you better value for money.

 

[Livinloud]

Horrible deal. I just sold a 500mW 532mms for $170 so there is a price vs power comparision

 

[NightOwl]

where should i go then, i think im willing to spend up to $250 just not looking to get ripped off

www.laserbtb.com

EDIT: BTW the glasses they would have sent you are junk and the case would have been destroyed by the time it arrived. Happens to 95% of everyone who buys those

 

[NightOwl]

ok thanks ill give it a go. IU see that have a 300 mw for just $164 which probably isnt anything to write home about, but it sounds good to me.

 

[Livinloud]

Yeah but add in shipping and the fact that all Laserbtb lasers are over spec and yeah its about $180 for a normally over 400mW laser

 

[NightOwl]

damn i better go get some goggles. the 100 mw was bad enough without them

If you can afford it, these goggles are some of the best around:
Eagle Pair® 190-540nm Standard Laser Safety Goggles

The laserbtb is much better laser and deal.
The HL 532nm 300mW is a nice laser and usually overspec.
PS buy it with the IR filter installed

Check out JetLasers also--they make exceptional quality lasers ---maybe a little bit more money but...

I got it a few days ago and its pretty awesome. I bet something like this would cost about $1000 10 years ago. I just now realized that you can focus the beam lol. One thing though, is it normal for the batteries to die after like maybe 15 minutes of use? I went through 3 batteries last night in about 1 hour!

 

[Livinloud]

Yup, depends on the cells you use. Guessing they are cheap cells labeled around 800mAh but are really 250mAh. Buy some quality IMR cells which will be around 650-800mAh and really be the mAh labeled. Also make sure you have a quality charger or else the batteries wont be fully charged, thus wont have the max capacity

Normally its good to read more than the first post

Hey he can always send it back ! :beer:

 

[Livinloud]

Why would he spend $30 to send a laser back that he thinks is awesome?

I don't always buy lasers but when they are awesome, I return them :thinking:
