So I got my first laser from Lazerer yesterday. According to the power certificate the laser maxed out at 263 mW. It’s pretty bright, even with the safety glasses, but I am unable to light a match with it. I held the beam on a red-tipped match for 60 seconds and nothing happened. From what I’ve read on some other threads my first guess is that the beam diameter is too large to light matches? It’s a focusable laser, but even when it’s as focused as can be, the dot is between 5-8 millimeters in diameter. Is this normal? Should I be able to light a match with this?
In a review if this laser someone also mentioned that they could burn through a black cd case in about 2 seconds. I tried this with mine and it takes over 60.
