Neighbor sold me a green laser, probably 5mW-- can anybody Identify or help ?

[chainfire]

Hi guys--

So my neighbor sold me a laser today-- It's got a visible beam in the dark, but not very visible in light at all. It's got a UltraFire LC 16340 1200mAh 3.7v battery.

The only thing I can see on the laser itself is a small white sticker that says: Runfa 14.10.

I paid $60, which I'm guessing is way more than I should have and he'll give the money back. I'm assuming, after research (hindsight's 20/20 ... damnit!) that I got a shitty laser.

I've attached some pictures-- can anybody tell me anything more about this laser? Thanks!

Sorry man, but it looks like you've got aliases that's about 5-15 milliwatts. For $60, you can get a low quality 800 milliwatt blue laser off eBay.

Total scam, but he may not have known about the current value, because lasers have gotten so much cheaper recently.

I suggest you give it back and buy a 50 milliwatt greenie off of eBay for $8. It'll be a lot more can even light some matches with it.

^Be aware you'll also have some IR light in that beam....

True. IR Light = just don't stare at the light beam too much to my understanding.

As Ultralight said, you paid quite a bit more than that laser is worth. Sorry.

Sorry to say, you got an aliexpress type ripoff deal. 50,0000W laser @ $5. :crackup:

Better get that money back. If you want a 100-120mw green go with SF's Green.

SF501B 532nm Green

Or invest $20 something more and get a 1W Blue.

SF501B 445nm Blue

Edit: Or eBay as Ultralight suggested.
