I got this laser 21 days ago. Just now getting around to a review. I ordered this laser on January 19th and received it January 20th Cajunlasers being a U.S. company the shipping times are great! (I did pay 16$ for first class airmail)
Clif has GREAT service like always. He even through in a couple free batteries for me. When I ordered it I placed two orders one order was the laser and then 10 minutes later I saw I could add Airmail shipping. So I bought the upgraded shipping separately. I emailed Clif and he combined the orders and shipped them out within an hour! So overall a GREAT experience with the purchase/shipping/service from Cajunlasers Store
Here's the link to the product, it's sold out currently Rescue Laser 400mw 532nm water resistant [532400] - $229.99 : Cajunlasers Store
On to the laser itself.
The laser is around 8" long, with a little less than 1/4" difference in diameter from the handle end to the lens end. The machining with this host is pretty good. Better than I expected, very small nearly invisible lathe mill marks around the host, perfect finish out of the box. It's got sort of a gun metal anodizing which is easily scratched. It comes with 7 rubber o-rings around the outside of the host where the heatsink would be. Its got a nice non anodized aluminum ring showing just under the focus ring, which makes a nice accent.
Nice smooth threads on this laser. They look a little shoddy inside the rear clicky, they still feel smooth though. Every joint is double o-ring'd with grease. The focus ring has some grease in the threads for a smooth action that holds it in place.
The laser is only activated by a rear clicky. The clicky is very solid, and takes a slight effort to push, which I like since there are no other safety features.
There's alot of other reviews on the forum for this laser. I think it's popular for a reason, for the price, it's hard to find this power.
I found the power output to be around 415mw AVERAGE and 453mw PEAK
With the front lens off I put the uncollminated beam up to the LPM and got 553mw!
I want to look into removing the from waterproofing lens and possibly add some g-1 lens.
OVERALL: I would buy this laser again, great laser/descent beam specs. I have not measured the divergence but It seems better than the Arctic.
I LOVE THIS LASER!
Here's the pics.
Image showing the nice rectangular pattern in the handle.
Average Output: 418mw
WITHOUT LENS
Inside the clicky/pill
Inside the battery compartment (notice the half-cocked spring)
Picture of it passing the 400mw rating
Peak while I was taking this reading
zero'd LPM
