I have owned many lasers over nearly twenty years and I must say the Equality series ranks among the best of them. Firstly, the customer service from Gray is absolutely first class; great communication and ultra fast shipping (China to UK in less than 3 days.) Jetlasers will certainly get my business again for the service alone.

Now for the laser itself; the Equality has a beautifully machined, weighty host with a sturdy cross section and a very durable feel. The fins on the front of the host provide in my eyes a sense of Oriental styling and come in handy for stabilising the unit when resting on a table top for example. The threading on the tailcap is silky smooth and the focusing action on the crown is also nicely weighted.

I opted for the 500mw unit which emits a reasonably tight, brilliant beam clearly visible in broad daylight. Side by side with my 1750mw 445 Arctic the 532 has a noticeably brighter beam. The laser lights matches and pops balloons with ease. I've yet to try other experiments but I am certain this will burn through white paper and the obligatory CD case with no problems. The duty cycle is recommended around 3 minutes on / 30 seconds off and up to 5 minutes in cooler conditions.

To summarise, a true quality piece of engineering that will give the enthusiast many years of reliable service!

Cheers,

Steve

Hey Steve, glad you like your new J/L Equality. I see that you are already familiar with J/L's super fast shipping times, and Gray's legendary customer service!
IMO, you won't find a laser company out there with better customer service, and that's what keeps the us coming back.

I also see that you're a new member here, so welcome to LPF; Have fun, and be safe! :beer:

Thanks for the welcome BowtieGuy, liking the avatar!

Agreed, JL sets the benchmark for customer service and I'm looking forward to expanding my collection. Gray is a top guy.

I am indeed new here although not new to lasers; LPF is a great community and looking forward to becoming part of it!

Cheers,

Steve

Great review on Jetlasers quality. I guess Jetlasers and laserbtb are the only dependable companies now a days :(

Thanks Kilter,

With exception to those on LPF who provide custom builds I agree that JL and Laserbtb are pretty much the best out there.

On a side note funny that there's another cat avatar on this thread; I must oblige!

I've never seen doggles before but the styling is very similar to some British Army goggles that I have! Whatever will they think of next?
