OK. I almost decide to buy 1x200mW green laser pen. But I havn't decided which site I shall buy from. I have three choices:

Dealextreme, focalprice these two I shopped most before. Basically satified with their service, even though sometimes DX ship my stuff slowly.
But I heard some bad reviews about them recently, especially about their price war around green laser. I am just afraid they just send me a less powered one than I ask.

And the third choice is Dealperfect, which is very similar to Dealextreme. I knew it from a Netherland forum, good reputation there. But I have never bought lasers in this site. Only some card readers, earphones. Fast delivery, quality beyond my expect. Customer server garanteed that the laser are anthentic and enoughpowered, but I am still not sure.

So problem comes

From the price,

DX: US$59.99 http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1997
DP: US$51.69 http://www.dealperfect.com/detail.dp/sku.21668
FP: US$44.7


Why they differ so much? But at this moment I have gave up Focalprice, I will not sure about the quality with the lowest price.

Could you guys please help to recommed? Thank you in advance.

Best to go with DX.


DP and FP don't have the best rep.
Personally I'd make my own out of a O-like module :p
Don't forget there 200mw green laser is gonna be like 100mw MAX and a TON of IR.

Thank you for your advice. But it is easier to buy one directly. ::)

DP has more attractive price than DX, but not so well-known as DX, but they are from the same supplier, which is confirmed by the stuff in DP. That is why I am still hesitating.

If the laser I receive is gonna be 100mW, I will return it and ask for refund definetely. :mad:

welll, you cant expect much from cheap chinese goods. I mean even if the laser turns out 100mws, a 100mw green laser is still incredibly brilliant, and anything under 100 dollars for a functioning green laser at 100mws is a good price. dont expect the laser to be on spec tho. i mean, come on, its dx

Yes, it makes sense. I may dont have to expect it to be real 200mW, cause for the price it is still worth to buy, even only 100mW.
But I will probably buy from dealperfect, which also provide good stuff in low price, at least for me, I am basically satisfied with their service up to now. And the most important is it is almost US$9 less than DX. And they are from the same Chinese supplier. Anyway, whan I receive the package, I will make a review. :cool:
