How about this for a test : time in seconds to light a match at 10 feet ?

Near Quebec city, Canada

Thank you for the reply GSS, but since like you I doubt the labeling is correct, my question was how to test the unit without specialized equipment. Could you rig up some kind of home made bench test ?

I bought a 5 watt blue laser while travelling in Bangkok. (at the MBK). It is powered by two cr123a batteries. The casing is some king of chrome covered steel and the whole unit is quite heavy (about 12 ounces) and 6 inches long. When I focus the beam at objects 2 feet away they burn rather...

None so far. But I will for sure when I get home

Saw one just like it at the Bangkok MBK shopping center ( 4th floor ) near massage shop. It appears to be tha same thing, but they claim it is 1.5 watts. I tried burning a few things and it seems of equal power. They where asking 2500 bahts (83$) for it. I think I could bargain it down to 2000...

I think I got you, about total power output and 532 nm output. So I guess it would require a meter that is wavelenth specific. How do I show my location ? I am presently in Laos and moving to Thaïland tomorrow (Bangkok). I will be back in Canada (home) in mid-april. I wonder where I can get a...

I guess I will find out soon. I will fly back to Canada and declare that I bought souvenirs and gadgets to give around to my family and friends. Thank you for the advice.

sounds like just what I need. Thank you

Thank you guys, Your input is much appreciated

Sorry but I have a problem with acronym's. I guess TDR is a person or a company ? and ( num num num ) means ????. Oh, I got the PM part i think it means a memo of some kind... maybe an Email. Sincerely, Jim

The sticker on it shows class IIIb 800 mw. But since I have purchased it in Bankok (MBK shopping center) that does not mean much. When I get back to Canada, I will check with a ampmeter.

The french one .
