New O-Like 200mW 532nm module.

hi guys, o-like is having trouble re-stocking the 200mw module because the crystal according to susie is hard to get, but she will re-stock that module...
 





Im trying to decide if i should get one of these or an opto 150mw pen
 
I am having the exact same problem jeffd. Opto's are IR filtered and can go up to almost 180mW and have an excellent divergence but I think I would rather have this O-like module in a jayrob host. It's going to set me back like $250 though.

I chose to go with opto for the reliability, better divergence, and fast shipping.

Hopefully my pen will be here monday!

Why spend so much? $135 for the module and $35 (shipped) for one of Ehgemus' excellent hosts - SOLID aluminum, great looks, great heatsinking, 30-second installation (insert module and tighten screw, done) - total investment, $170 plus 30 seconds of your life for a really efficient, quality, sweet-as-hell looking laser (that noone will mistake for a flashlight!)
 
Don't forget $6 shipping on the module, $4.90 for batteries,and $11.54 for the charger. Still a great price but I just don't like the look of the host. The chrome is cool but I am looking for something smaller and I don't really like the RPL style either. Probably would be my second choice though.
 
Did you see the new small hosts Ehgemus is making? 7/8" X 5" fit for an O-like and a single CR2 battery, knurled grip, another really slick design - only $37 shipped (and again, a drop-in) - just another option, even if it is chrome-ish...

For batteries, search "Juice rechargeable" on Ebay, the CR2/CR123's are $1 each ($1.50 shipping no matter the quantity) right here in the US, protected, no long wait, and very high quality IMHO - far higher quality than the DX crap anyhow, that's for sure!

If you end up going w/ Jayrobs kit, that's actually really cool (I just personally have an adversion to retrofitted flashlights as hosts, thats all) - Jay does pheominal, standard-setting work, so you can't go wrong there either!
 
Opto includes a quality charger? Or just a cheap wall charger without the auto cutoff. I've learned spring for a quality charger. And that low duty cycle of the pens from opto would scare me away. Why not pay the same price for a more powerful laser from CNI that has a longer duty cycle
 
Brewcitymusic: I think that was the host I was looking at yesterday. The DIY green from jayrob is only 1/8th of an inch wider and 3/4 of an inch shorter. I like hosts that fit in your pocket, I would get jayrob's pocket green host but I want something stronger than 50mW. Can you give me a link for both of eghemus's hosts.
 
Ordered one in LIB's modules for 235$. Susie had one for him two days ago. I hope I'll have the time to review it. In any ways I bet this will be overkill :D. shoukd come in about 2 to 3+1/2 weeks.
 
Susie finally responded to my emails, saying that the 200mW module will be back in stock in a few days. I hope so.

Has anyone gotten their orders or heard anything about these modules? I e-mailed Susie about these a couple days ago and still haven't gotten a response back. They have been out of stock for a while. I don't know what's up.

I just got my 200mW module in today. Haven't installed it yet, need to go get a CR123 battery :) looks great though.

I am waiting on 2 of them, hopefully they will be back in stock soon. Thats what susie said in the emails, show doesn't have an exact time when they will be in but I'm in no hurry.

I did a full review (with tons of pics) on the mini host 5x7/8 made by Ehgemus. Check it out in the reviews section.
