20-30mW laser from OdicForce lasers

[matthew s11]

Hello, after a long and hard search on many different websites i think i may have found the laser for me. here is a picture of the laser i am getting with a small description PowerCheck Laser:20-30mW Green Laser Pen - Chrome Finish - Detailed item view - OdicForce Lasers Online Shop

Price seems very good for the output, just want to see your views on the laser and whether you think ive made a good choice or not.

 

[BKarim]

you must buy an APC laser (constant output)
don't know if this one has APC

 

[matthew s11]

why? what does a constant power output do?

 

[BKarim]

it avoids your pointer will not work in cold or warm or dim after 10s

Take no notice Matt, I believe you have made a wise choice and wont be dissapointed.

With Green pointers like this they like decent batteries, so follow the recomendations in the description or seek a equivalant.

Give us a little review when it arrives.

 

[BKarim]

also APC pointers will work better with NiMH

 

[matthew s11]

what is NIMH???

 

[BKarim]

rechargeables batteries
you MUST have rechargeables batteries especially with a green pointer

well i got duracel ultra whcih are long lasting why would rechargeable batteries be any good?

 

[BKarim]

cause with alkaline you will need to buy 1 pack of 4 every week...
with lithium (not rechargeable) 1 pack every 2 weeks...
so you really need rechargeables!

there are two type of AAA NiMH: the better have a capacity of 1000mAH but they discharge quickly even i you don't use them.
if you'll not use your pointer every week i think it is better to buy low discharge batteries (typically 800mAH )

I love rechargeable batteries, I always keep 4 in the charger and 4 in my pocket (when I am using something that needs them)
