Hi there:D
I ordered the 50 mw chrome laser from o-like last week and i was wondering about the quality of these lasers. I have seen some good and bad things about o-like in the past. Have they straightened it out?
Thanks :thanks:

I think you'll like them a lot, they are very bright....you can see the beam clearly.
I've bought three over the past 18 months, they shipped quickly (received within 2-3 weeks).

The one thing I have to mention is they heat up VERY fast due to pretty much zero heat-sinking.
I suggest 20-30 seconds ON followed by 45-60 seconds OFF for cool down, depending on your unit.

I recommend rechargeable batteries over alkaline's.
They'll produce a slightly higher voltage I think, so you'll get better performance.
Check out http://www.batteryjunction.com/ and http://www.lighthound.com/ for some nice batteries and a chargers if you need them.

good luck :beer:

The should be a really nice pen---very bright green.

Just watch the duty cycle/how long you leave it on---when it warms up turn off and let it cool down as other have said.

You ordered a laser and you don't even know what batteries it uses?

It might be a very good idea to research exactly what are you buying, BEFORE you buy it, never buy stuff on impulse, you will regret it sooner or later.

Based on the size and voltage, it's almost certainly going to be 2xAAA. 12mm is large enough to hold AAA, but too small for AA.
