Hi All,
I had promised a review of my 35mw Advanced Executive and some of you were interested in hearing my experiences with my new (and first) laser. I must say it´s a pretty nice little piece of gadget. At first I inserted the batteries backwards which, of course, led to a sudden disappointment. But after correcting that, and after a few momentary concerns of intermittent performance on the first day, all is going well. The first day I had this weird problem with the unit not responding when I´d press the ¨on¨button. But I reinserted the batteries again and it fired right up. A few days after tinkering around with it, I put in a new set of batteries.. Wow, what a difference that made! The beam was so much brighter!
The 35mw meets and exceeds my expectations for what I wanted it for...to point out celestial objects. I haven´t done any burn experiements with it, and I don´t necessarily expect it to burn anything (although I´ve been warned on other forums about underestimating the power of a 35mw), but I´m quite happy with the performance thus far. I´m about 2 weeks into ownership now. All in all I´m happy with my 35mw from Wicked.
I guess I´m officially addicted to this hobby. I placed another order recently with another firm for another laser. WHY?? I have no idea. I just wanted a spare. ; )
