Who can you rely on for a quality laser these days?
Received my Spartan 532 series 300mw in a timely manner. Got it yesterday and haven't seen it close to tem00 at any point in time. The beam profile along with the mode hopping is bad at any temperature. The only reason I even bought this laser instead of a 520nm is because I wanted a nice beam profile and good divergence. This laser meets neither of those qualities. Ended up with a laser that has a crappy line output all the time anyway. Although I cannot prove it at this time I have a suspicion that the laser is fairly underspec on power. Now I have 3 options:
1. Keep the crappy laser
2. Spend another 30$ on shipping and return it and be out 60$ for absolutely nothing
3. Spend 90$ total on shipping and hope the next laser is decent
I will absolutely not be making any more purchases from Dragon lasers in the future.
