Agree with reporting. In every case I've heard this, IQS has replaced the laser. I encourage you to contact him & ship it back for exchange,

I agree with Arshus -- it sounds like you inadvertantly got a #006 ... contact him and see if you can return it for replacement. Just make sure you contact him outside EB or if inside EB don't mention the power ... :) If you have trouble contacting him, let me know which email you are using...

I have not seen that required but it surely wouldn't hurt. He may be out for Chinese New Year ... ? Which email address did you send to?

Understanding you said the side-clicky is optional, one would hope it could be either momentary or click/reverse-click at the builder's discretion. I personally do not want a momentary - my thumb is still sore from the IQS momentary buttons, and I have found them to generally be inconsistent...

FYI, I just finished recording divergence for all of these, and the numbers are a little surprising. I took all readings at 106'6" (the distance from my barn door to a table near my back door). I used Trevor's divergence calculator. I also noted the divergence of the tigtest distance-focus...

Would 2x16340's last a lot longer than 1 18650?

Sounds like it's focusing lense got rattled in shipment. His EB post says to contact him with questions / porojects -- please do so as he's always very responsive from my experience. FWIW, both of my #100s (one at 80, the other at 130-160) have a very well focused beam that is still pretty...

Was it originally WAY-overperforming? My original #100 metered at 165mW, then after I left it pointed at a black plastic lid for 5+mins (lost in the ceiling-reflection of the melting plastic), it started to dim; I let it rest for a min (but not long enough) and it started acting like you...

I noted that in my IQS Roundup link ... but it is good to see he has dropped the price. If he sells those well, he said he can probably get the 400mW version ...

I noted the same thing early on .... you really need to hold it firmly to get full power. I really wish I could remove the pressure-switch and replace with a toggle ...

OK, but [somewhat] seriously, how about using the extra space for an optional TEC with its own battery (CR123A, etc.)? Complexity+, but coolness (in both senses) ++

Let's not make it more difficult that need-be :) How about "more room for extra heat sinking"? ;) Cool! As I understand, the 405 yields more far-end light transmission (at least, the jayrob posts I read seem to show the same laser with higher delivered-power), while the Aixiz is focusable...

Room for extra battery? Hey, would it be possible to put a different lens like jayrob's 405-G-1 in it?

Message him & ask him about it. Also ask him if you could buy the battery-n-charger that he originally shipped with the #150 (which he only took off because LPF people told him that they already had batteries & wanted him to match the DX price of the same thing w/o batteries... :(). I...

I am surprised on the #200 -- my #150 had simlar specs except with the supplied Chinese (AORS?) battery, even though only a 3v (peak 3.2 fully charged) it actually gave 198mW ... Did you get 2 batteries with the #200? If so, have you tried both?

:beer:

:drool: Yes, 3 day shipping on something close to the O-Like, for same or lower price, would be hard to turn down.

+1 for the advice! BTW, my wife & I like your current siggie:

I have a similar minor complaint. I do not find the focus knob's tightness SO annoying, excepting that, with it smaller than the flared-out body, my fingers keep slipping off of it when turning. This only becomes a problem when the switch is "on" & I'm trying to make a fine adjustment while...

BTW, for those who know IQS's green lasers, there is a LPF member special 405nm 100mw for $45; I didn't want to hijack this thread, so it is posted in my IQS Roundup thread.
