PL-E Mini 1w 520nm First Impressions

[PolarAZ]

WOW! This thing is built unbelievably well. Host quality knocks it out of the park. The laser is VERY bright and doesn't have half bad divergence. I'll include a few pictures with a sanwu 5w 470nm and a lazerer 400mw 532nm. The hill in the pictures is roughly 1 mile away.

Glad you got one--very nice.

The JetLasers PL-E Pro and PL-E Mini are high quality professional products with nice features not found in other lasers.
You can't go wrong with a JetLasers product + they have the best customer service, before and after care, in the business.

I'm very impressed. My expectations have been exceeded. Bravo to jet lasers! I'm sure I'll be a repeat customer.

The quality on those minis is great, I love my 465nm. Thanks for the review

 

[Skittles]

Nice pics PolarAZ, I'm still debating on whether I should get the 465nm PL-E Pro or not.

 

[PolarAZ]

Stop debating and get it done. Jet Lasers has 100% impressed me. Shipping was awesome. Communication was awesome. Their product is awesome. I can't say enough good things about this pl-e mini. I am blown away.

 

[PolarAZ]

This laser is so impressive. Best $300 I've spent in a while.

I'm glad to see you like it, I knew you'd like these when you mentioned getting one.
As Encap mentioned, you won't go wrong with a J/L, either the Pro or the Mini version.

@Ultracrepidarian - Go for it, although the Mini in the 465nm is a great option also, I've got one and it's all you need, unless you may want a bit more run time that you would get from the larger Pro's host size.
J/L calls these "Mini", but they're anything but mini! :yh:

Congrats on this new acquisition. A one watt green is always nice to have. I am always concerned about run times as I hate to have a laser that can't stay on for at least a full minute. At some point you may want to start building your own lasers as this gives you more control over all aspects of the laser. :yh:

That’s a whole lot of green photons there, enjoy. Beautiful laser. :gj:

 

[Skittles]

I want the 3.5 watt PL-E Pro, the price is just as insane as the laser that's why I'm debating.

 

[JimK]

PLE Mini is massive, not mini!
The pro 520 is also less price than the mini 520?

I think their wording is complete opposites!

 

[Richie89]

very nice! you seem to have the perfect location for lasers

 

[millirad]

Nice comparison! Thanks for posting, OP.

I have a feellng PolarAZ is working to fill out his collection. Nice to see you posting these comparison threads. I look forward to the next one.

 

[PolarAZ]

Some fun comparisons for you guys. 100mw 532nm vs 400mw 532nm vs 1w 520nm.
