IQS (itemquick ship) Laser Round-up

[elite ares]

:drool: It looks like it has a clicky-button ... wish my #150 did... Can you tell if it is focusable?

It has a clicky, I sent a question asking if it had adjustable focus, will let you know what he says.

In response to a question asked about the GT150 Deluxe Waterproof Green Laser Pointer Continous B

elite ares: Is there an adjustable focus ring?

itemquickship: Hi friend, No there is not. Thanks

So there you have it, no adjustable focus for $77. Can't have everything.

For those of you who saw the #50 for $18 in the click-on host, there is now a #100 in that same host: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120679677796#ht_1485wt_887

$27 for LPF members

My High Quality#120 Green Laser Pointer Visible Beam W/Box arrived yesterday.
Came in a cardboard box with a felt insert. Received 48hrs after payment.
It's bright. Looks like it's well within the 120mW range. Can't catch my Opto though. But it was $34 shipped :eg:

Sorry for the small pics, just got a new camera.

 

[Bobby]

Mine does not disappoint either! It hit 165mW with fresh Duracells, and stayed 100-130mW on the first pair of them for over a week ...

Congrats!

All of my IQS posts have been for greens so far; here is a LPF member special 405nm; 100mW:

Deluxe Adjustable Blue Laser Pointer Deal For LPF Burn - eBay (item 110645153776 end time Mar-06-11 23:21:46 PST)

He says if he can sell these, he can probably get 400mW and sell for cheaper than O-Like ...

Another new item from our friend. Focusable, key switch safety, convertible. I think I want one!

EDIT: aypal: Watch for a review. LQS states "This is 405nm around 90mw, adjust to burn Can ask u $40".

 

[Bobby]

If he can even match O-likes 400mw price he'd sell out every time. With his usual 3 day delivery from order......yes please.

:drool: Yes, 3 day shipping on something close to the O-Like, for same or lower price, would be hard to turn down.

 

[Krogith]

:drool: Yes, 3 day shipping on something close to the O-Like, for "NOT" same "but a" lower price, would be hard to turn down.

Sorry you made a typo I fixed it :beer:

Ha ha, I came here to post this! I bought one too. So far IQS hasn't let me down, so it was a no brainier.

And the o-like host is nicer. I'm with droid on this one.

 

[elite ares]

That didn't seem like to good a deal though. I'd rather pay $50 more and get the 400 - 500mw olike.

And the o-like host is nicer. I'm with droid on this one.

Can anybody say "host"? If it doesn't live up to my expectations, I might tear it apart and build a better one! Besides, I already have a focusable high power 405.

Nice collection, Bobby. I just purchased a #100 and 5mW blue/purple pointer from IQS and an Ultra Fire charger (vaporkings.com-out of stock at lighthound.com) and two Battery Station CR123s (lighthound.com). Charger and batts come out of Oklahoma and Texas, respectively. They shouldn't take too long to get to Colorado.

Great, one more hobby to waste my money on. It all started with the kipkay.com red dvd burner diode/maglite hack I did. Which I currently cannot find since moving...

I'm starting to hate this guy! (and I mean that in a good way if you're reading this!). He keeps putting up great products that keep draining my wallet of any and all extra cash I may or may not have

I've been very happy with my stuff from him so far. Eveything has been over spec so far except my #150 which was about 10mw under. I suspect it's the crappy juice battery I have in it now. I'm going to order a better battery for it and my SB #6 soonish (after I replace my DMM) and see what I get out of them then.

 

[LtKernelPanic]

I figured the juice battery was the culprit. I have 750mAh 3.7v AWs in my 445 that I'm going to give a try in it once my new DMM (and bench supply) arrives from Amazon Wednesday. I want to be able to accurately measure the battery before I start testing. My trusty el cheapo seems to have hit the floor too many times as I've noticed some errors in readings that I hadn't been getting before.

FYI, I just finished recording divergence for all of these, and the numbers are a little surprising. I took all readings at 106'6" (the distance from my barn door to a table near my back door). I used Trevor's divergence calculator. I also noted the divergence of the tigtest distance-focus for the O-Like 405nm 400mW laser.

Host________ Color_ Power_ Dot Diam_ Divergence
SB 006______ 532nm_ 30mW__ 15mm_____ .4mRad____
SB #100-1___ 532nm_ 80mW__ 21mm_____ .59mRad___
SB #100-2___ 532nm_ 130mW_ 22mm_____ .62mRad___
Pen #120____ 532nm_ 165mW_ 40mm_____ 1.17mRad__
3998 #150___ 532nm_ 198mW_ 50mm_____ 1.48mRad__
O-Like wp___ 405nm_ 400mW_ 9mm______ .22mRad___

Some of those are much smaller than I'd have thought...
