Hello all, thank you very much for the tremendous support that I have gotten from all of you here regarding the LPM-1 and this group buy. Please read the full post to know exactly what is happening.
As described previously and as many will tell, the LPM-1 is a superior Laser Power Meter that is capable of reading power values up to 100mW. The range of this meter can be further extended up to 1000mW (1 Watt!!!) using the ND8 filter in the path of the beam. The meter is compact and powered using regular 9V batteries, unlike the LaserCheck. The LPM is superior to many other meters in the market in that even at the low price of the unit, it has a logging capability, intuitive menu, and a very stable and sleek design.
Please refer to the following for reviews, pictures and better details from current owners:
