Dealextreme 200mw blue laser

[andrew5826]

$29.68 - Focusable 200mW 405nm Burns Match + Money Detector Blue-Violet/Royal Purple Laser Pen (2*CR2) - Blue Lasers

is this worth the money? has anybody tried it and does it do the stuff dealextreme claim it can?

Don't buy it.

go to o-like. they have a 405nm laser that is supposedly 400mW but it seems most are way overspec. I have a review (without lpm test) of it in my signature. but you can find other reviews of it that have lpm tests. it is a lot more expensive, but it is well worth the price. i wouldn't trust any high powered lasers from dx to be up to spec.

Don't buy it.

btw in your signature; 445 diodes aren't blu-ray. blu-ray diodes are violet. the 445's you have came from a c@sio projector

In case anyone is still considering buying this.

95mw with 3.2v rechargeable CR2s on Radiant Alpha Meter. Still want to try 3.6 or 4.2v but worried its gonna blow. Fresh 3.0v Lithiums gave me 85mw. Not really worth it unless you have an original dilda and like the matching set
