This is my review of the new 150mW Pocket Green laser from O-like.
Link: 150mW pocket green laser£*>5~120mw green laser pointer£*>Laser&lighting products£*>www.0-like.com
My first impressions of this laser is very good. The finish is flawless and it looks good. It's a little shorter but fatter than the new-style dilda, as you can see here:
The machining is also very good. The threading on the battery cap is top-notch. Very smooth. The button is a reverse clicky, the opposite of the dilda. Also, the battery goes in the opposite way of the dilda. It uses a 3.0V CR2. I haven't got the balls to try out a 3,6V.
Only the battery cap can be unscrewed, making it hard to modify/change modules.
Pic of the aperture, compared to the new-style dilda again:
The only thing I found dissapointing, was the lack of a lanyard. It has a little hole at the end, so you can attach one later.
The performance of this laser is good. It's the highest powered greenie I have owned, and it's sickly bright. Beats the 50mW Ledshoppe easily. The dot is painful to look at, and the beam is easily visible in a fully lighted room. I can't wait for it to get dark outside!
The dot is clean, no scatter. The divergence appears to be decent, haven't tested that good enough yet.
This can burn too, without optics this smokes black stuff, and pops baloons easily. With a magnifying glass, this burns almost as well as the dilda, lights matches and everything.
The heatsinking appears to be decent. I left it on for about a minute straight, and the host didn't feel too warm on the outside. No mode-hopping or power decrease.
With safety glasses and a camera, I could see a quite bright IR-dot, so this doesn't have a quality IR-filter.
Here is a dot comparison pic (My camera overpowers red for some reason):
And a crappy beamshot in a lighted room:
Overall, I couldn't be happier with this purchase. For $100 this is a steal.

but... ONLy 10-15 mins of lasing before you have to recharge the battery?? maybe you have a bad battery! susie gave me 2 cr2 battery with the dilda... but one was VERY VAD... defective. not a real problem.. i ordered from dealextreme 2 better cr2 battery. CHECK IT... when the lased dims.. check the battery voltage .. if it is about 1... 1.5 volt.. it is defective. a 3v battery can't go so down...
