To imbed a youtube video put the code ONLY (in this case mJ7cDiiHFO0) between [yt*]and[/yt*] where you have removed the *.

It will show up like this

It is hard to tell visually only, but that laser does appear to be overspec. It is quite common with the 5mW DX ones.

i love it and am now addicted to lasers probably getting a dilda too only 2 days after my first laser lol

That's how it tends to go
Don't forget goggles! A dilda is extremely powerful and even a weak reflection can destroy your eyesight for good.

I usually don't recommened Dragonlasers as Laserglow and Optotronics are the best in the high-cost laser category, but for goggles DL are good and fairly cheap.

With shipping and so on it may add up a bit still.. but if you want to become a laser hobbiest, you are going to spend A LOT of money.
Don't think about the price compared to your laser, think about the price compared to not having the goggles.. you may have to live with a serious handicap for the rest of your life because of a second of carelessness with your laser. Even if they are able to treat your eye and make it better, it will probable cost at LEAST 1000 times what a pair of goggles cost.
