Ok, I know this makes me sound like a newbie to the laser world, but I'm considering a new business option and I'd really like to know your opinions on this.

I want to buy lots of flashlight style laser, not pen style ones, so I am down to these three choices:

1. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10557

2. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.11047

3. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.7883

Which one would you go for?
Do you own any of these?
Do you own ALL of these and can make a clear comparison?


I'm looking for best bang for the buck and brightest beam.
Why? Because I will buy a lot of them to sell here in Argentina and I can't afford being wrong with the decision :)


Thanks!
 





I have all 3 of these and I like #2 the best. It is very thin and well made. The clip is cool for hanging off your collar or book bag. As far as brightness, they will always be different. Even though they probably all use the same module, each one will vary on power due to manufacturers sloppiness.
 
#7883- 3 outer pcs.- recessed tail push button switch- solid brass or copper construction,no heat sink needed- strong steady beam. I have two & don't even bother with a duty cycle unless it gets warm. Has a heavy secure feeling in your hand. Takes one CR-2 battery & both mine will give at LEAST 50 mW's ON my LPM, more with new or recharged batteries. I like them & both DX & KAIDOMAIN have a hard time keeping them in stock 'cause they are so popular ;) rob
 
Although I agree with WackBag, I've gotta say I always liked a CR2 option better...

But I don't know, I think I should go for a more flashlight-y style, like the 2# option, as WackBag recommended...
 
Best one is the #2
It is the best looking, has the best aperture, and has a clip to stop rolling on a surface 8-)
#3 is the worst one! ::)
 
SKU11047 it is just AWESOME ( #2 ) clicky switch, heatsink, nice body, easy to take apart too.

Also Niko, what is this new business option ? :-? ::) :-X
 
I have #2, and it is great - really durable, but with 3v CR123 batteries, it is nowhere near as bright

Mines was just as bright with 3V CR123s :-?
 
Really?
They might be from a different batch, and have a slightly different driver then
 
Ok, so we are down to this:

#2 laser is the best looking, best body, better aperture. But it has a lens outside, an acryllic one, and it WILL get burnt in time.
#3 laser is the brightest, uses CR2. But it's body is not as attractive as the 2nd laser.
 
I have owned #2 and one with the same body style as #3.
Compared to my new ledshoppe 50mw, #2 has a much better beam IMO.
I personally disliked the body style of #3, it just didn't feel right.
#2 was a great laser while it lasted, unfortunatly mine died and random and unexplicable death, i think its not making contact somewhere, but not a problem i would expect to have, infact, i think mine is the only one that does it.
 
I've heard several reports that #1 is water proof. I don't own any of those so that is the best input I can give.
 
I have #1. It's not completely waterproof, but it will survive a quick dunk test in a bucket of water. Leave it in too long and it starts to leak at the tail cap though.
