Review of O-like Power Rock 150 mW - 532nm

Shipping
Unfortunately i bought it on a holiday, so i can't really blame them for the processing time:
  • Processing: 5 days.
  • Shipping: 10 days.
Total: 15 days.

Unlucky as i am it got caught by the customers, so i had to pay an extra ~ 40 bucks. The package it was shipped in was declared to have a totally value on $25, so i didn't had to pay so much VAT, but the fees was about $35. Next time i think i ask them to set the total value to less than $15
The Package

The package came with the following things:
  • The laser
  • A 18650 battery
  • A battery charger
  • A belt bag
They were all in a lot of bubble plast, and were fully intact when they arrived.

The items
The laser came in a nice little belt bag.

It doesn't really looks like the black one from the picture. This one has a military look. For me it doesn't really matter, as i think they both looks cool.

Inside of the belt bag is the laser:

The laser is a lot smaller than expected, but it feels good in the hand, and it doesn't have a cheap feeling. I actually really like the host.

The charger

The included battery charger was a AC110, so i had to go the store to buy a AC110 to european converter. You should be aware of this if you live in EU. O-like also have an adapter/converter if you dont have one urself:
- European converter /adapter [OLED] - $1.50

When it's not charged it is red, and after some time it starts blinking for some reason. When charged it turns green and again - after some time it start blinking.

Safety glasses

For safety glasses i bought 2x this one:
- 190nm 540nm Safety Glasses | eBay

The build quaility isn't the best, but they work for what they are designed to. I can only see a little dot when i have them on (I guess i can see about 0,1-0,15 mW) so it would probably be ~ OD +3 (Can't tell for sure as i don't have a LPM). I've heared a lot complaining about this cheap ones beeing unsafe, but i did some test's (Holding the laser at them for about 10 seconds) and it passed them all. :yh:

The laser

And with a little photoshopping (Too much time, i know oO):

The laser is rated at >125mW. I can't really tell if this is true but i think it is about 160mW.

It is focusable and waterproof. I'm not sure if i will test the waterproofness, but it's nice knowing it is.

The dot quality of the laser is fine. There is no temp jumping. I think there is a little dust/chinese kid fingerprints on the lens, but it's really hard to see. :thinking:

I just tested some burning and it light matches in 0-1,5 second. I also tried to burn though a cd case and it took ~ 10 seconds. I might add a video when i get some more matches :-)

Conclusion

  • Shipping: 8,5/10 (Great packed, and they shipped it when right after the holiday)
  • Quaility: 9,5/10 (Great host !)
  • Spec of the laser: 9/10 (Again i can't be sure what the spec is, but i think it's up to spec :-))
Total: 9/10.

Nice review....

You have a link to a Converter and the Laser Safety Glasses.
How about a link to the Laser under Review...

BTW it is near impossible to know the power output of a Laser
without a calibrated LPM...:beer:

Thanks. And yeh, there should ofc be a link to the laser :-) Just keep in mind that this is my first laser review.

I know i can't know what the real power is, but i'm not really gonna buy a LPM for $70-300 as it seems to expensive for something i'm gonna use 1-3 times, and especially for a student like me :-)

Got any "real" beam shots? lol?

I actually tried to take some, but my camera doesn't seem to pick up the beam really well. On my camera it looks like a 10mW laser :wtf:. But i can try to see if i can get another camera :-)

Good review, but missing beamshots.

And could you resize the pictures?

Thanks, and yeah.

Is there any fancy feature to resize them or do i have to upload them again :thinking:?
 
It depends on where have you uploaded them, and which photo editor you are using.
 
Good job now!

It seem to be as bright as my ebay pen. Weird.

Even though i choosed the night option, it isnt as bright on the pictures as in irl. Before i turned the night option on it didnt even catched the beam :-P
 
I also have a green power rock, but mine is the 50mW version. The host I have doesn't have the yellow and black stick on the side, but I did get the same camo belt holster for it. I also received an unmarked pinkish-red battery instead of an ultrafire branded one, but I would assume it's probably just as cheap. Nice little review you have. :)
 
Good to see that they are putting lasers In a box.
Mine came in a padded envelope with no bubble wrap.
And did not work.

Good review!
 
I ordered a 50mw rock from O-Like and it is still pending, hopefully it will ship today or tomarrow. It's been over 4 days.
 
Update:

On the 25th the laser started to act weird. After about 30 seconds of having it on it suddendly get 2-3 dot's. I messaged O-like about the problem and after 1,5 day they replied that it was a crystal problem, and today they sent me a brand new module as registered mail for free.

The best thing about this was that i didn't even needed to send it back. I just wrote them an e-mail. So pleased with their service :-) !
