Just got one, love it.

This is what I did to my old one. That'll charge those pesky mag light laser batteries :p

On the other hand, red lasers are not so often underspecs, as green ones. There are no variables here, like crystal alignment. Each green unit is an individual, and to get 1 with good efficiency, you have to make 10. Those 9 will then find a way into cheap laser companies and will get sold in underspecs units.
Not so much with red lasers .. even if you buy the cheapest diode and driver, it will be inside 10% of specs. It's just hard to do it otherwise. Sure, merchant can sell 5mW and mark it as 300mW .. but then they usually go for higher numbers. My guess is it will be over 200mW, if not right on specs.
