Hey guys, I just received my Laserbee A LPM in the mail, and I thought I would share my thoughts about it.

Before I say anything about the meter itself, shipping was great. I sent Jerry $191.99 on March 5. Five days later (March 10) the meter was at my door! Excellent shipping:gj:

Firstly, when I opened the box (which was very well packaged) I was suprised by the build quality. The meter feels heavy in the hand, and there is no rattling.

Here is a pic of the meter and the thermopile:

The LED display is really bright and clear. I can easily read it with my Eagle Pairs on, and I can read it with my bright lights on my bench:san:

Heres a picure of my 405nm PHR 805t:

The meter reaches the max temperature after about ~20 seconds, and then takes ~20 seconds to cool back down to zero. The meter also has a manual zeroing knob, which is very convenient.

In all, the Laserbee A is an excellent product for an excellent price.:thanks:
5/5 stars, I definitely recommend you get a Laserbee A!:bowdown:

I really wonder why people still buy laserbees... :thinking:
Not trying to annoy you or something but there are cheaper options available with better specs... :shhh:

Well I just decided to get the Laserbee because it fit my needs well and I had heard good things about it. I thought it was a pretty good price for the quality.:whistle:

It seems good to me, am I mistaken?:thinking:

Laserbees are quality LPMs, what I wanted to say was that you can find other LPMs with the same specs for a lower price! :beer:

The laserbee do cone ready to go as well.
Unless you get the full Rubicon, or get an ungodly expensive assembled ophir unit, your left the get the ophir sensor, and for some wiring to the power source, and display.

You can build a computer for much cheaper than you can buy the same system pre-made by a major brand OEM.

Doesn't mean that there isn't a market for pre-built computers. Many people will gladly pay much more to have a device that you turn on and start using right away.

I could buy an AppleTV device, or I could buy various other pieces and parts and software, and put some time and effort into it and have a device that does the same thing and more for much much less. Still, people buy AppleTV.

After I had a laserbee for a while,, I found it much more valuable to but a ophir head and build my own. But at first, having a plug and play was fine for starting out.

I got the best of both worlds after selling my Laserbee A. And that is my 20W Scientech LPM from Daguin. 1 Second response time and no need to build anything. 330 dollars of worth it! I am glad to see you like your new LPM though! Until I started building 3W lasers and needing to see instantaneous fluctuations it did everything I wanted it to.
