Cheap "100mw" 532nm DPSS

[Kratos]

Hi, since i'm new here and this is my first review, DO NOT expect it to be perfect, I appreciate constructive criticism, but please, no flaming.

Now the review,
I purchased THIS laser as my first high power greenie (along with safety goggles ofc) I wasn't expecting it to be high quality, but it turned out to be pretty powerful (50mw<) at least, it burnes matches instantly when focused and the beam is slightly visible during the day, and i live in Egypt so it is INCREDIBLY sunny almost all year round. It is amazing at night, i can point at a building 3-4 KM away and the beam hits it easily.

One bad thing about this laser is the duty cycle, 30 seconds on 20 off isn't terrible, but not that good either.

So, overall, not a bad laser considering it was dirt cheap.

I will update this thread later with pics

I bought the same laser, but from another shop and surprise: It's have about 5mW, so I like to use it like a laser housing.

As a general rule its best to stay away from high mW green lasers without a big budget. green laser are usually $1/mW or more. I would stay away from any handheld on a site i wasn't 100% sure about that costs less than $0.75/mW. thats just me though.

I doubt it is the same laser, as that host is very common and is used by many manufacturers.

I don't know how many laser manufactures are in Romania, I think the laser is made in China.:can:
