1xCR123A Purple Laser

Anyone have any experience with this laser? Anywhere near spec?

Don't expect it be close to specs.

Little bit more but a lot better. 200mW blu-ray torch/adjustable/focusable [OL-405-200-T] - $105.99 : Welcome to O-Like.com, Your source for laser products

Interesting. I wonder if for roughly the same price as the laser I posted (which claimed 200mw), this 100mw from O-like would be more powerful: ?
405NM 100MW BLU-RAY PEN /ADJUSTABLE

hmmm neither of those are very good compared to this:

400mW for $95
can't beat that for price

What kind of diode is in that 4X? it'd have to be a 10X or 12X, right?

If it's a 12X... you probably couldn't even DIY a handheld for $95.
12X diode is $50+ and a good driver is ~$20... and you'd still have to get a host and lens.

You can DIY a 14500 li-ion 150mW-200mW for $50...

I'm not exactly sure but you can go to O-like's website and contact Susie and ask her about it: but i believe you do need a 10x or 12x diode to reach that power (without killing the diode very very quickly).
