I bought a 200mW Greenie laser (Pen Host) on Ebay from this guy: http://myworld.ebay.ca/cadeicon
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-200mw-Green...260?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item4aa750c0fc
for about $80.00, Im actually very satisfied, although I dont have an LPM, it seems that it actually performs at spec, as it burns red matches unaided, and w/o paintning them black, instantly. Also, it seems to have an amazing duty cycle as ive used it for 2-3 mins constant duty, and there doesnt seem to ever be a decrease in brightness. No parts move around in the host and seems to be all in all an amazing laser for the price.
The beam is very visible outdoors at night and indoors in dark to moderate lighting conditions. However I have my doubts...the beam diameter must be very small as the beam is extremely thin. Also, the dot is TINY. This may be a contributing factor to its amazing burning power. My question is could this be a lower power laser somehow built into a permanent focus? I'm fairly new to lasers so I don't even know if this is a possibility. :wtf:
