100mW 532nm for $15

[DJNY]

Be careful. That user's feedback is only 83.3% positive.

He got 4 negative feedbacks
- one was unhappy that batts weren´t included
- one was expecting a 1W 650nm for $50 being 1W
- one got the wrong shipping number first, but was corrected

- the other one, I don´t know..

None of these feedbacks were related to the reviewed SD303 laser.
But of course I can´t guarantee that everything is fine with the seller.
Personally I won´t hassle to buy from him / her.


I listed another option in the other short review I did for the SD301, even cheaper:

Not bad for 99% underspec But being serious, it's not a bad deal!

Small picture update on the review

(note; focus wasn´t on infinite - focus distance on ~9feet, that´s why the dot seems a bit blurry / bigger than it really is)

Thank you for this awesome review.
I have a question, i saw you found a cheaper option, what do you think, they are the same? I mean all the SD303 laser are made from the same supplier ?

You´re welcome.

Don´t know if they´re made by the sae manufacturer. But gonna get two of these even cheaper SD303 and post the results here.

is it me or does that ad say "10000"mW ?

These lasers, for $15, look pretty decent... Might have to order one

OP: Did you have to sign for the package? Trying to decide if it can be shipped to my house (I'm never home) or if I need to ship it to my dad's office... Thanks :yh:

Just ordered 3 pcs of the $11 SD303!

Got the lasers, all between 75 - 82mW with 3 - 5mW IR in the output.

I picked up the same laser off eBay few months back - SDLaser303 exactly the same host and markings.

Lights matches when focused quite easily not sure on the IR output though, I would say quite a bit.

I always use my laser goggles, So maybe not so bad?

I grabbed 3 of them also. no meter so no idea of power. Only 2 work 3rd came on for a second then went to super dim red and stays there.

here is where you see the quality

IDTS-!!- ONLY if your eyeware blocks 1064nm
which i doubt- its more dangerous up close tho... IR 'spreads' fast
@starlight-- Dark dim red IS the color we 'can' see of IR.

AND it has become habitual that whenever a flashlight goes dim we hold it up to our eyes-turn in off and on maybe give it a slap- --Lasers are not like that- but it still happens (mostly to those with NO laser knowledge)and i have seen people do that too.

China has way too much laser inventory- DPSS green is on the way out-
! got an 80mW pen for 4$-shipped free- and the 110mW twinkle R/G 'bliss' lights(~30 g & 80 r)are as low as $20- its a 'buyer market' right now.... enjoy!

The dim red

Yeap that is 1064nm-- there is no filter in that laser--
its crystal is no longer doubling the nm= can you hear anything inside when you shake it??

But its not a total loss as you could rebuild - use that one as a host-- if a 12X30 AixiZ modlue fits they have a nice 515m green(rock steady26mW) ready to drop into that host-very sweet shade of focusable green -3,7 vdc is a good voltage-its ready to use. driver in embedded-- they are currently 85$-

guessing it would handle long duty cycles better than it did when the green inside was DPSS--532...

 

[starlight]

thanks for the info. I want to use this as host for a build. I'm reading everyday trying to learn how and what I need to do a build.
