Re: O-like 400mw green - Review

Interesting power "reference" for us not having a LPM. I tried the same and got quite similar results, except for the last distance. The first attempt took 26 seconds. The second took only seven.. I know that the power output on mine is quite...

Mine needed exactly 6 seconds as well for getting tru a CD case unfocused. They are obviously close in spec. But that's during the first try. After some seconds it starts to mode hop a whole lot..

Re: O-like 400mw green - Review
Yeah, of course. I was just saying that there's an added danger related to the wl. All in all they are all dangerous when used unwisely.

Cool mod. Glad you could fix yours that easily. Would this affect only the dot shape or power output as well? I guess I'll have to take a look inside mine.

I was referring to this:
Blue Light Hazard
A reflection alone is hazardous. In my case that would imply no use indoors what so ever since I have a little kid and also a pet in the house. And there are quite a few reflective surfaces.
PS: Not that I use any...

That would be really cool, thanks! Perhaps that may be a more suitable gadget for me.
It does sound like it's easier to get hurt / damage something with one though. The thing that made me hesitate was the radiation from that wavelength.. But I...

Oh, you do.. :) Bit O.T. But.. Just curious. How are the burning abilities / focusing over looong distances on those 1W's?
I guess I hoped this green one was good at exactly that. For burning just at close up I can really use a lighter.
Re: O-like 400mw green - Review
Why not change it for 445nm 1.2W focusable?
I was considering that but after all i've read in this thread I may keep it. It's not the worst of the bunch imho. I've managed to burn trhu a CD case in 1 sec. I guess that should require more than 300mw of green..
Re: O-like 400mw green - Review
Seriously, those two lasers aren't exactly comparable. If I was interested in spending 550USD on a laser I'd find a good one. The point is that some of these o-likes actually perform really great, and that at reasonably low price for a "toy". AND with high power...
Re: O-like 400mw green - Review
Not bad. That's close to what Susie estimated the loss to. 30-50mw. Not worth messing with in my opinion.
What I find strange is that mine burns ok for the first 30 sec then suddenly stops. Even though the intencity of the beam remains virtually the same.. Then...
