Sounds like you have an underpowered phoenix type or an overpowered 55mw.
Do you have any pics for us to see??

i used benchmark of three lasers 1 areis 200, 2 hercules 300 and3 150 pen laser . the laserglow lasers came with mw measurements and the other 150 fits the objective power curve that i see. based on the brightness and quality of these known units i made what i believe to be a reasonable mw measurement on the ebay model

EBay lasers dont have IR filters and give false higher readings etc......beware the dreaded ebay flaser

i just recieved the results from justin hasaki at LASERGLOW and they confirmed that the mw output of this ebay laser advertised at 150 to be just under 30mw. people do not waste your tme with ebay lasers as it is to much or a crap shoot. there are plenty of reputable dealers mentioned in this forum that deliver what they claim. now pay pal wants me to send laser back to vendor for the refund which may not be in full.

Re: green laser  power shortage

getting refund from paypal is not easy 1. make claim in this case item not as advertised 2. give vendor response time; he said my claim had no merit. 3. after 2 weeks paypal asked for third party confirmation that laser was underpowered. 4. at my expense sent to laserglow; very helpfull people for evaluation. 5. before laser came back from laserglow paypal decided third party opinion not needed and just send laser back to UK at my expense again.6. paypal does not cover any extra costs and they will not at this point stipulate a complete refund. hoping for best

Wow - speaks volumes for his business practices - or lack thereof....
The ONE black mark on my Ebay acct is from a retalitory strike from a vendor not paying attention, and Paypal refunding all my money...it was a $10.00 item - but on principle, I fought it, and won. THEN the SOB wanted a mutual withdrawal of feedback...nope, I'll take the strike, and BRAG about it to ruin that piece of crap. Sorry, I digressed a little....but somebody has to teach these clowns they can't steal and get away with it !
