Dim light emitted

[TheHawk89]

I recently purchased 3 lasers from gearbest.com and one appears defective or "not focused" it emitts a dim blue light that can barely be seen. Is there a way to fix this? The other 2 work fine with the batteries I got. Lasers the military laser 303

The other two are the same colour but brighter?

Can we have a picture of the dot? A picture speaks 1000 words and all that.

I know I had one of the Gearbest 405nm pens be DOA. I contacted them and they sent out another free of charge.

First off a link Would be helpfull.
Seconds its not a military laser, Its a Chinese crap laser.
The laser 303 is hit or miss in quality. Most of the time there not worth fixing but you may be able to drop a new module inside one.

And lasty the laser 303 almost always are above 5mW so make to to not hit your eyes. you may want to pick up a pair of laser goggles.

Edit: Dangit diachi you beat me.

OK for one, I know there China lasers, gearbest calls them "military laser 303" and I got 3 different colors, green, red, blue.

The blue emmits no dot and it has since stopped working in the 2 days I've had a battery in it. I already emailed the company about a replacement and was just looking to see if someone knew what the deal was.

You should really take these folks advice, post a picture so we can see what you're talking about. And post a link so we know what you're talking about. We aren't mind readers unforunately. If it does turn out to be a burned out diode or a broken/burned up driver, you'd be better off to just contact the company, send it back, and hope for a replacement/refund. These 303 lasers are one of a few of the cheapest visible lasers on the market today. That being said, they are still very powerful and WILL cause eye damage if not used properly and without safety glasses.

Are you talking about >>this one?<< These are, more than likely, pressed and glued together. Basically for safety so folks don't take it apart and hurt/blind themselves. Hope this helps and happy lasing..

Yes sir that's it. My phone won't let me paste anything, no photos and didn't feel like typing the address manually to the product. Annywho, the things completely dead now. I think it was defective.

"Thanks grammer natzi" lol

I've had two of those "blue" 303 types from GearBest die - the first one was DOA the other died after maybe 15 minutes of intermittent use.

They may replace it, they replaced the one I had that was DOA.

I hear ya. I hope you can get a replacement or a refund! I don't see why not, they aren't too expensive. :beer: Good luck bud!

Lol, sorry. I don't know why I did that really.
