JL's PL-E 532nm 600mw mini review

[Radim]

Yes it's the mini I have. My focus ring was struck. At first I could only turn it maybe 3/4's of a turn. When I learn it should spin more I carefully worked it back and forth for about a minute and she broke free. It could have been paint. She's free now and spins quite smoothly and freely.

Thanks. And congrats on reaching 10 000 milestone. :beer:

Your welcome Radim, and thanks for the congrats. I've got a n450 and a n465, will be building today. Planning on making a build thread, looking forward to adding those diodes to my collection.

It can be operated using their 5v plug in adapter.

After reading your first post, which I think I read wrongly then checking the site, I see no specific mention this unit can be run using their ac adapter. Do you see a plug on this unit?

Hello, just heard from JL, they said the charging port is for the remote. Not a charging port at all.

The Dazzler does take the 5 volt ac charger they sell on their site.

I believe its been brought up a few times, but looking at JETLaser's sight they are showing the PL-E 532's cheaper than the mini PL-E..Was this mentioned as a mistake?

You've confused me now. What's this "remote" thing?

Their 5v adapter isn't used for charging, but to run their PL-E pro with or with out batteries. Anyway as I understand it now, the Mini version can't be run using the 5v adapter.

Yea, that's what the email I got said. Don't know about the "remote" thing it would be interesting to find out? :thinking:

@ GSS; interesting about the price, thinking maybe your right a misprint?

I was there just a couple of days ago and as far as I can tell no other prices have changed except on that particular model. That is a very good price. I've been eyeballing that very model too.
