I decided to order a 445nm laser this week. I'd been considering either Rayfoss or O-like, and had actually settled on O-like. Then they sold out of their 1.2W 445nm tactical.
So, now where to go? I'd seen a few reviews on the site about Survival Lasers, and had considered them, too. Honestly, the idea of putting my own laser together was slightly intimmidating considering getting one assembled and allegedly waterproof. The LPF discount code helped, but I was still wondering about my own ability. (I've got ADD, and my med for that makes me shakey.)
Then I saw a few reviews of the laser, how easy it is to assemble and, saw the LPF $190 special package...:thinking:
The thing that finally sold me was Gary's assistance. I sent him a few emails with questions about the laser, and he responded quickly. He helped me through the process, answering a few questions that I later found were already answered here.
Yeah, shoulda used that little search thingy a little more.
Susie from O-like answered about two emails and put together a pretty sweet combo package for the same base price as the 445 tactical, but, after the 1.2W sold out, she didn't answer again. I'm glad. It's made it so I am now working with a person who not only knows lasers, but, seems to be willing to go the extra mile to help out the customer.
Anyway, laser is on the way. :drool: Ordered the $190 package. Already have safety goggles from Nova that will work well, so that pack really fit the need. (and yes, a 445 laser is a need. I think) Gary confirmed paymemt last night, and is shipping today. Will post a review of the laser once it gets here.
