    PL-E mini 465nm 1.4W review

    I guess it stands to reason that it runs full power until the batteries are discharged, otherwise it would probably be common knowledge by now that a half charged battery only makes a half power laser haha! I saw your review of the laser before purchasing... its a good one!

    PL-E mini 465nm 1.4W review

    Hey I see you have the same laser as me (if thats what the list in your signature represents :unsure:) Have a question for you.. what's the runtime on a fresh set of batteries at full power? i.e if I put fully charged batteries in, do I get the full 1.4W until their dead? or is there a drop off...

    PL-E mini 465nm 1.4W review

    Thanks, its a great product, made the review something I looked forward to. Yes, safety first. I have goggles that I use if there's any chance of a reflection where I'll be aiming, or if i'm looking at the dot for extended periods (burning stuff... ) But I have to say the color is mesmerizing...

    PL-E mini 465nm 1.4W review

    Yes I am so happy about accidentally ending up with the mechanical switch... especially for a class IV laser at 1.4W. The momentary on/off switch is a great safety feature, and much more useful I think than a strobe effect. And yes, hats off to JL! They'll be getting my business again when I...

    PL-E mini 465nm 1.4W review

    Hello! I've had my PL-E Mini 465nm 1.4W laser for over a week now and I thought I would write down my impressions. It's my first "serious" laser beyond a red <5mW pointer. If you followed my last post, you know that I ordered a PL-E mini from JetLasers about a month ago. Unfortunately, that...

    New PL-E Mini just arrived... how to turn off safety mode?

    Update 9/26/19 -- Gray is shipping me a new laser free of charge and offered to cover the cost of the batteries I bought for the unit. Great customer service as everyone says! Responsive and stands behind their product. Glad I went with a reputable shop. Confident that the new unit will be...

    New PL-E Mini just arrived... how to turn off safety mode?

    After a day on the supplied charger while I was at work, unfortunately there is no difference. The laser still just gives a very weak output with no LED's or side button functionality. I think I may have a lemon :cautious: but I will work with Gray and Hakzaw1 further to see if there is more...

    New PL-E Mini just arrived... how to turn off safety mode?

    I appreciate your feedback.. I am talking with Gray at Jetlasers and its likely the batteries are simply not charging with my nitecore, even though it says they are. I am using the charger Jetlasers sent and will update after they have been on for some hours. Thanks..

    New PL-E Mini just arrived... how to turn off safety mode?

    New PL-E Mini just arrived... how to turn off safety mode?

    Yes i saw that... the issue is that my laser is not responding that way. I turn it on and the LED's do not light up, and it just turns the laser on very low power output. I am using the Elfest batteries that Jetlasers sent to me. Maybe I need different batteries?

    New PL-E Mini just arrived... how to turn off safety mode?

    HI all, My PL-E Mini 465nm laser just arrived. I turned it on using the back button power switch and the laser comes on very low power and the LEDs do not light up. I am assuming its on safety mode. How do I turn it off? It didnt come with instructions.. Thanks for the help, Puffphoto

    Hello LPF! Noobie here! I decided to order a 1.4W 465nm laser from jetlasers last week after watching youtube videos and lurking on this forum for a bit. Laser technology has come a long way since I was a boy playing with low power red pointers! Lots of the custom and retailer builds are...

    Thanks for the welcome! I'll be sure to do an intro post before my review! And the photos in your write up give me lots to admire as I wait for the mail call! You did a nice job covering the specs as well. From what I've seen online 465nm is a beautiful color, but everyone says the photos...

    Waiting on a PL-E mini 465nm 1.4W in the mail...

    Hello LPF! This is my first post! After seeing youtubers like styropyro blasting his way through plastics and and even computer cases with homebuilt lasers, I knew I had to jump into this really cool hobby. So I am jumping in head first with a class 4 , 1.4W 465nm laser o_O from jetlasersI I...
