Hello.
I’m about to purchase a Jetlaser 2.5W PLE-Pro and had a few questions. I’ve emailed Jetlasers but haven’t heard back from them yet. I know they are busy at times.
What type of lens does it come with and would it be worth (or possible) changing it to a G8 for better long range beam specs or should I just stick with the beam expander? Does the newer model of 10x Beam Expander work with the Pro model? At first glance it seems like it’s only for the mini but in the details on the website it says it’s for both. I’m looking at the 2.5 watt 980nm model and it has a fairly high beam divergence. Would the beam expander cut off a lot of the beam?
Does the PLE-Pro come with the push button AND the key lock tail cap?
I read the batteries can be charged inside the laser with the additional power supply. Is this safe to do or would I be better off getting a 22650 charger? Also, what brand and model of high capacity, protected 22650s that will fit should I get? Should they be button top? I don’t mind spending the extra money for quality batteries. The Jetlasers website doesn’t specify what batteries they sell.
I have a few high powered lasers and the proper safety eyewear for them and I’m very safety conscious. Im still learning about all this stuff and feel that I’ve got the basics down, but I just wanted to be clear about some stuff before I dropped a lot of money down for one of these. I prefer to have a few high quality lasers than a lot of lower quality ones.
I’m also looking at getting a Sanwu 7.5W 445 later on. I saw that Jetlasers has a 5W version but that’s it. I wish they sold a 7.5W as I like the aesthetics of the Jetlaser better. I wonder why they don’t sell an equivalent watt model?
I’m waiting until Black Friday to order to see if anything goes on sale. I saw there is a 5% discount code available right now.
Any comments or advice on anything else that I should know are welcome. Thank you.
