By HOT I think that means it is quite the burner-IR is like that and A hot PRICE TOO. About the overspec- I cannot tell HOW much overspec they will be--I can only go by the last ones we got- no two are exactly alike. But all were overspec and hte best were over 375mWs.
I assign them to the buyers in a random fashion. Then I meter them- Aryntha got the best IIRC and it was overspec on his meter with a peak of 400+ mWs. We gave Gray an Alpha(which you should know is a good but still a hobbiest meter) for Xmas and he will check all to be sure we get good ones but as far as any type of guarantee on the amount of overspec ...well.
AFAIK they are either the same or better PL-Cs as improvements have been made. Buy 10 green or Br pointers and no two may give the same output. Prices on PL-Cs have come down some but quality will be the same. When you get your LPM pics you still have the option of declining the final shipping and get 100% refund. If you can come with a better/fairer way to do it I am open for suggestions. In DPSS lasers crystal alignment is one factor in output. And this is not an exact science if I understand it correctly. I look fwd to discussion of these matters, but unrealistic expectations are just that. If you want 400+mWs from a 532 i suggest you get the 300mW or larger. We all got a nice break on shipping for GB#3- Cost to ship a 15lb box of PL-C and Tis Express is nearly or over 100$ and this had to be done 3 times due to the need to return some for adjustment. Gray and JETL covered that without hesitation, as it should, at least for the return and subsequent 3rd shipping (on the way btw- left HongKong today)
HERE IS A SNEAK PEEK OF THE PL-G- Gray sez it has multi-modes with pulse (and of course CW) and something very similar to the spyder smart switch. The finish will not wear off (lile the spyder) and you will not find any Al bits/shavings /etc inside (like some did in thier spyders) and the overall look will be very professional. The spyder I saw looked quite crude which if what I heard is true(WL paid less than $5 per host) and understand why. You get what you pay for. I know no other details ATM. This is not a photo of the PL-G but rather an artists/designer rendering. I like the look.
