It's definitely an alignment issue since I can see the red glow of the IR diode when it's not lighting green. The spring in front is there to ensure contact with the body of the host for the electrical connection. In my laser there is a gap between the front cap and lens assembly so the spring...

It seems the diode is pressure fit and glued in place even the driver board is glued to the brass tube there is no play at all. I tried wigglng just the exposed optics in the 3rd picture and it was not moving either.

I bought this from focalprice and it was fine when I got it but after a while I noticed that the beam would fade when held a certain way. It has progressed to a point where it requires a good shake to get it green. I took it apart to see if I could find a way to secure the crystal. The...

I just got another BR laser (PHR) and the dot looks the same so I guess the ebay laser is good. Yup Its my eyes, when wearing goggles I don't see the second dot. :)

I got one of these BR pens from etimeshop as my first BR laser. I also bought a custom BR pen (PHR) from matrixcs here on LPF which I received yesterday. Using the custom pen as a reference on my DIY theremometer based laser meter it seems the ebay pen is giving about 50mW. :) The beam...

Yup nothing like a green laser. The red beam is visibile as long as you are looking along the beam, so its seen by you and a couple of friends standing next to you. With a green, even just the 30-40mw that I have, everyone can see the beam even from the side. The red o-like gets hot pretty...

I just received my 200mw red (new style) from O-like today. The beam is visible with subdued room lighting and is clearly visible pointing up into the night sky. Although I agree with Greenmechanic that you should get a green laser if you want a sky pointer.

I just got mine today, it took about 20 days to get to the Philippines. Packaging was the same, bubble wrap around the pen and a padded mailer, no batteries for mine as well. This is my first violet laser so I did not know what to expect. Coming from red and green lasers I was kinda...

The site is up but it looks like its still incomplete.

Hello LPF! My name is Mark and I'm from the Philippines (hence the title). I stumbled on this site while helping a friend find out some info on green lasers. I have always been fascinated by lasers. My dad is a shooter and had a laser sight on one of his guns, that was the first laser I got...
