Hey anyone here know the working coupon code of lazerer.com? I see a coupon code field on their checkout page so I am asking for that before actually making the purchase. Hopefully it will save me a few bucks
here is an idea, save your money and buy from a better laser company instead lazerer isnt any good anyways what u can find on their site u can find on ebay/aliexpress more or less..
Where can you find the types of lasers that lazerer sells on ebay or aliexpress for the same price? Lazerer does not sell 301 type lasers and the 100mW 532 I bought from them a few years ago had a near continuous duty cycle with no power drop. I think the lasers that Lazerer sells are a good bargain, but not the best quality I would agree. They're certainly better than XPL or the 301 lasers on ebay and also offer a power graph including the IR output on their 532 lasers.
They do sell the 301 lasers, and they over-price them too (at least for the 532s). You can find the same lasers for somewhat less elsewhere. The >1W 445s are fairly reasonably priced mind you, a little more expensive than elsewhere (by $40 or so).
LZCS - Classic 532nm 30mW Focusable Green Laser Pointer
You can get a 301 for ~$5, $10 by the time you add batteries and a charger. Both of mine have been >30mW. The one I kept (one was for my old man) is doing a little over 90mW.
Check out LaserBTB - they are very reasonably priced for what they sell, i.e. not cheap junk. I believe part of the issue with Lazerer is the customer support as well as the pricing - that said, it's probably better than a lot of eBay sellers, so may be worth it if you don't mind paying an extra $20-40.
This is the 100mW green laser I bought from them a while ago: LZMN - Mini 532nm 100mW Focusable Green Laser Pointer
They also sell a 50-80mW 520nm for $60, not too bad a deal.
You're right that it is not a laserBTB laser, but it is a true 100mW green laser with no power drop over 10 minutes continuous, unlike my now damaged XPL-311 I bought for $56 that had a power drop when warmed up and was underspec with a lot of IR output.
ALL of the green 301 lasers I have bought have held their output for about one minute, and after that they drop down to around 15-20mW. It's extremely annoying, especially when people don't realize that it's not normal for even half-quality 532 lasers to have a drop in power. I'm bringing this up because I believe Lazerer has fair deals with ok quality lasers, not 301s, at least in my(past) experience anyway.
That said, I don't know what kind of lasers lazerer is selling today, so I still have a hard time recommending them. The website looks good and the lasers they sell are pretty much the same ones they had back when they were a highly recommending company a few years ago, and they offer a power graph for $5. If the OP does decide to buy from Lazerer, I'd like to hear their feedback.
I guess I would just recommend laserBTB to the OP, but the price for a 100mW 532 is about $100, but you do get a true quality laser and don't have to worry about 301 laser junk.
Meant to mention in my first reply that the 520s actually seem like a reasonable deal, assuming they are up to spec.
Lazerer sell 301s too - although they have other options. The 301 type lasers are overpriced IMO.
Have you had the power output of your 100mW verified independently? Also, 5$ fom a power graph? Sure... I'd include it for free, but OK.
Yeah, those XPL lasers are best avoided IMO - I did say that from the start, that we should wait and see how the reviews stack up before recommending them so that we could avoid people getting bad lasers like you did... but oh well.
Will try and test my 301 tonight to see how the duty cycle is (WITH power graphs) - I've never had a need to run it more than 1 minute continuously...
what u can find on their site u can find on ebay/aliexpress more or less..
