Mine arrived a few days ago, but part of the order is still in-transit (i'll put together a review of the 405 RIFLE once the rest arrives).
My 445 1.3W certified right at 1300mW, but I've yet to test it on my meter. I wil llet you know when I do.
My first 2 IQS lasers - a ~80mW and a ~100mW - do not pop balloons unaided. With a jeweler's loope or the 20mm focal length objective from a telescope, they will light matches and pop balloons.
My #120 pen (tested at ~160mW) will pop balloons on fresh batteries at close range.
Thank you both! I just lightened the blue up a little -- is it better? Do you have a recommended "bright blue"? I would not like to make things hard to read ever.
Since it is not focusable, I never attempted to burn anything with it -- it is focused for long distance (i.e., out to infinity), not for close-up (burning).
I just tried popping a black balloon with mine, and it would not, as I expect. My 200mW and 300mW green from IQS, when focused, burn...
I need to get an IR filter to test with.
On other's tests, I have seen max of ~ 18% IR.
On my #300 from IQS (tested at 400mW), when I remove the focusing assembly, the power went up to 500+mW, which led me to believe that either there is an IR filter on it, or the focusing array has a...
I just received the new green laser pen from ItemQuickShip (IQS):

[Edit - this was in reply to the "I don't know why" from the previous page -- I somehow got fooled into thinking I was at the end -- dangit I'm still too green!]
Neither me -- I've been "waiting" since he first started talking about it -- by my count, a bit over 5 months now -- and am still...
For those who have bought form LaserQuickShip / ItemQuick Ship, they just posed a $9 flashlight host that looks like it might make a good host, including adjustable focus setup. I have not seen one in person to know how well they would work for sure, but have seen other talking about CREE-type...
How did you disassemble yours? I think I may hae to do the same to mine -- it is exiting at ~10-15deg angle, and while not mode-hopping, it is not reaching its full power.
I want to test without the focusing assembly, but don't want to break it ...
Really sorry to hear that rhd ...
I have 6 of his lasers (all green), and have had this happen to none of them. I have between 15 and 30 minutes of "on-time" on each of them, in 30sec increments.
If you have a LPM, can you tell us what power the laser is giving when it is red-dot but no...
