how many mw this 532 laser can be?

[deadshadow]

i bought a 532nm green laser from ebay,its an aerometal host that takes a 18650 battery.im still new to the hobby,i already had 2 cheaper 532 pens and if i compare the new one is extremely strong,i can see the bean clearly on a bright room from any angle,it can melt-smoke black tape UNfocused and i mesured that it draws 350ma from the battery.so any guess generally how many mw this could be?
edit:
i further tested it what can do with focused beam and is a great burner

Is it one of those laser 303/301 things? If so the output is anywhere from 50-100+ mw with some additional IR.

 

[vortish]

303/301 can be up to 150 mw

You can't know without testing but it sure sounds to me like 100mW or more.

no its not those 301,303.the body is this one Adjustable High Power Laser Focus Green Laser Pointer Pen 532nm Visible Beam New | eBay ,at night i can still see a visible beam from all angles even if i wear protection glasses also the output is preety stable,my duty cycles are 30s at max and its working great.i have other 2 cheaper greens that goes dimmer and brigher for no reason(you know the cheap 532nm)

Like Razako said, the laser is most likely emitting IR as well, so be careful. I have a cheap 532 which takes a 18650 battery and is 100-150mw max. If yours is stable then most likely around 100mW. Have you watched Styropyro's video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woiTedSKPrk as it could give you a hint to what power your laser is without spending out on an LPM.

higher than 1mw and less than 1000mw...

WHAT!!! You can never see the beam with safety glasses on, you can only see the dot. You are using the wrong safety glasses! They are useless with that laser.

those glasses does great job on day if i want to burn something with 532nm lasers i only see a small weak dot,its useless on 650nm.on this video all this burning staff are with focused beams?just tried it focused and lighted a white match, i also know that green lasers arent the best burners

I got one of those 532nm <5mw lasers from that shadowhawk company, look just like the ones in that ebay link, however the first one they sent me was DOA, so they sent me a second and it is definitely 5mw or less. Cant see the beam even in the dark, and it starts out dim then after a minute or so the dot gets brighter. So I called and demanded a refund, which they gave me, and I turned around and bought a Sanwu Pocket(which I got a shipped email for yesterday ). Still have the 532 cheapie. Has good range but its weak. I don't feel anything from it on my skin. Must have been a scam. Because it was advertised to be a burner. So buyers beware of shadow hawk green lasers. total scam, as they charge 56$ for it
