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:

Aliexpress.com : Buy Free Shipping 303 200mw Lazer Green SD Laser pointer pen starry Burning Matches presenter 532nm 5000m Zoomable projector from Reliable free green laser pointer suppliers on Weilan Accessories Co., Ltd

Small picture update on the review

Here is one of the pics in high res for fullscreen view

(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 ?

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

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:

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?

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

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!:D

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...

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.
