Nice.... So does this diode produce a nice round dot/Beam? If not, it would be useless to me. I like round. Todd

Well you missed out! I'm keeping this laser after all. I still plan on on buying the RPL 450 when I meet up with Jack in a couple of weeks. Sooooo....

If i do not sell this laser before June 7th, then I'm just going to keep it along with the new RPL 450 that I will get from Optotronics during the week of the 7th in June when I go to Colorado. T

Yes I totally agree. Been quality and divergence has always been a preference over power. I mean, who wants a laser that spreads out to 6 feet in diameter at half a mile? I know that Lasers will burn things and sometimes that's cool to watch it burn, but it does get old pretty quick. It's more...

Well I guess this is all true about cheaper lasers, but that's why because they are cheap.. I am selling it because I want to upgrade to a higher power one. I want to buy the RPL 450. Yes I know it's not much of an power increase but I just want to do it. If I don't sell it then I'll just keep...

Asking $750 as it is gently used... I have a 440 mW Green laser that I don't really use anymore and I would guesstimate the total time allocated for this thing being on would accumulate to 30 minutes total perhaps. The laser diode has an 80,000 hour lifetime and is built very well and this is...

Hmmm, interesting. However if these don't produce a nice round or semi round spot/beam, I'm not interested. High powered lasers need to have low divergence before I get interested in them. I like lasers for other things than just burning stuff. I prefer long distance and low divergence. I...

Hey TacoHerder, Yes its a CR123 battery. I am uncertain of the driver, but Howie puts a lot of effort and quality control into these lasers. They even come with a 1mm pinhole attachment which aids in telescope mirror alignment. When this attachment is in use, the spot is round at a distance...

Hello, this message is for those individuals who want a bright red 635nm laser in a very durable housing. I have several of these, they are approx 4mW (not high power by any means) but they are quite bright due to the amount of laser light exiting the aperture. These lasers are designed and made...

I searched and found the thread where several of you ordered the 200mW 635nm red laser from O-like but I have yet to see the reviews or photos of the product. So.... How is it??? Just curious. Todd

I carry all of my lasers in this bag, it works great! I usually have about 8 lasers and batteries in it along with my iPhone accessories, chargers, monster turbine pro earphones. It's a great all around bag. Here is the link: REI Travel Day Bag at REI.com Todd

Today I took delivery of a >150mW green laser from Optotronics! Jack came through again with great products and excellent customer service. The laser pointer I received peaks above 200mW and hovers around 183mW and has an average of 171mW. It's nice and bright and has good divergence. I know you...

Hi Jack, Yes I used a Melles Groit laser check that belongs to Howie Glatter (he sells laser collimator for telescopes) he had the meter and we checked it. I guess my post was confusing or the members just read it wrong. The laser was advertised as a 150mW, but when we checked it on the meter...

Actually I think the IR filter is missing. It is a 150-200mW powered by 2 AAA batteries and tested on a meter. Not sure if I want to keep it as it may not be as safe to use. I was surprised to see it go that high on the meter. I thought the meter was broke or on the wrong setting. Right now I'm...

I just set this laser up and wanted to see how fast it would go through the 4 CD cases to light the match at the end. Pretty cool. This is a fun laser. 6a6B4uv9hfc Todd

Burns a CD case and pops a balloon, that is. I'm really enjoying this laser. YXDjjtFMI5M Well since I can't remember how to post the video here, I'll just have to give you a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXDjjtFMI5M Todd

Ok, well as for a visual inspection and burn test, the Tenergy batteries run the laser at an output that is still stronger than the WL Arctic (beam and spot are visibly brighter). The CR 123's also allow the custom laser to burn much faster than the arctic (arctic takes 2 seconds to start...

Thanks rhd for adding that extra info, sorry if I misconstrued your technical data. I also want to add that the work of rhd is excellent! Nice and clean finish to his products/builds. Thanks for the great laser rhd! I love it! Todd

Today I received the laser I bought from a forum member, rhd (most of you all know him). It is a nice laser and my most powerful so far. I do have safety glasses and will respect this laser. He sent it to me with two 18350 3.7v ultra fire batteries. I'm hoping the laser diode will have a good...

Thanks for all of the help guys! Actually rhd has made one for me and it is the silver host shown in this thread. His laser bee test yielded 1.58w which is pretty awesome and the host is great looking as well. Can't wait to see it. I will keep the rest of you in mind for future purchases for...
