Your issue is absolutely the power output. 200mw, especially in a dim part of the spectrum will be laughable compared to the big power stuff. A 200mw 532nm green is ONLY FAINTLY visible in clean air in a dark room, better in fog BUT NOT STUNNING. 200mw of anything is a JOKE for someone who...

Yeah the Pro host is far too large. Perhaps a Sanwu challenger ii would have been better, but more expensive. 4W of 470 sounds kickass. And yeah the dust caps are an easy thing to forget. Im gonna put some red flags hanging from mine, that should help. Hey thanks! I think a hot violet or a 488...

Quick video or text review of the JetLasers PLE-mini 1W 520nm laser, and comparison to a few other lasers. Overall personal rating: 5/5. WOULD recommend this laser to any user. Review: SHIPPING: This laser took about 11 days to show up on my doorstep from the time I placed the order. This time...

Wow, indeed you really cannot see any of the seams in the host. Seems the norm for their products. Jewler like quality. Thats awesome! Great pics and great review!

Great review man! Really appreciate the BE vs no BE comparisons. Thats somewhat hard to find directly! Nice work. I just sent in an order for this same unit as well. Barebones price is $250 plus shipping, making this *by far* the most affordable 1W green I could find without buying a custom...

For what its worth I was able to create a somewhat more collimated line with this laser after getting used to that focus knob. It seems to have a bit of travel play before the meachnism imparts the lateral motion on the lens to change the focus. Sometimes you can twist it about 1/16 revolution...

No, it was from another thread. There's also "engrish" threads bashing those who struggle with a language barrier. How do you think Podo would feel about those threads?? I teach foreign students how to fly in American airspace, and many of them struggle with English but are amazing people. Im...

Consider the power levels. $150 for a 2W Gatling, $200 for 3W... $150 for the 3W thor clone... or would you rather pay $290 for a JetLaser that is 3.5W, takes 1-2 weeks to get there and as big as a baton? The quality of the thor clone was honestly better than my PLE, which has a mis-alligned...

Can we add BestLaserPointers.com to the main page list as a good seller? I finally had a chance to compare their $150 3W thor clone to my 3.5W PLE and I feel very bad about doubting it. They ship within 24 hours of purchase and from SoCal warehouse if they can, so if youre in the states that...

Hello laser folks! Quick video or text review of the JetLasers PLE-Pro 3.5W 465nm laser, and comparison to another 3W laser I own, which I previously doubted the spec of, but now I find it more legit. (link at bottom for that review) Overall personal rating: 3.5/5. WOULD recommend this laser to...

ofcourse! And I would never! Im purely just trying to quantify protective qualities compared to a legit pair. StyroPyro made a youtube video showing that some of the cheap-o's even let the beam through in 0.0 seconds. Yeah, they may protect you from a beam accidentally glancing across your face...

I hear ya! Yeah I was fully expecting the result I got, and already planning on getting Eagles, which I immediately did. My thinking was that if it blew through the side gaurd, it would blow through the center all the same, and thus they shouldnt be used anyway, so it didnt matter to me...

I got one of those overspec'd knock off Thors that came with a typical pair of safety glasses, with no documentation. Likely about 1W 445, and I have a 3.5 PLE coming soon, so i began to worry and did some research. LPF memeber MassiE46M3 created a thread and video that should be watched by...

I just ran this test on the supplied glasses for a 3W (true) cheap kit. It burned a hole in the glasses faster than it does paper. Needless to say those are going in the garbage and a pair of Eagles was purchased this very night. I had my concerns and searched here for a post like this. This...

Awesome! Think you could elaborate on capacity a little bit? Orbtronic has many 26650's of varying capacities, some of which state amperage and some of which just state voltage and MaH. I just picked up two of these for a PLE-Pro 3.5w...

I recently have been trying to maximize my liquid sky effects using my new fog machine and i'm getting mixed results and learning a few things. I basically turned my living room into a laser room. BulbHead "Star Shower Motion" , the christmas light thing, is FANTASTIC in any level of fog...

Yeah without an LPM I don't know if mine is truly 3 watts but its gotta be atleast 800 because it burns decently quick and does have a mildly decent solid beam, and it hasn't seemed to harm the starbit yet, but I also haven't used it often yet. Sanwu offers star bit attachments for its high...

Yep! I had that in consideration as well. I currently have a "3W" (probably more like 0.8-1.2) 445 that I got from bestlaserpointers. According to them it has an "unlimited duty cycle" which I find hard to believe, so I try not to let it run for more than 120 seconds between breaks. Hey while...

I assume this has been resolved? I hear a lot of good things about JL and I plan to invest in their PLE-pro upon my next paycheck in a few weeks. Does the mini offer a plug in A/C adaptor like the Pro does? That's a hugely significant thing in my mind - unlimited power availability with no...

Hey all! My name is Ryan and Im a flight instructor, high power rocketeer, and outdoor enthusiast from Sacramento CA. This is my first activity since joining the forum, and I am pretty fresh into this hobby/science. I spent quite a bit of time browsing threads learning about the safety aspects...
