Preface: Before ordering these lasers I was in contact with Max, regarding the possibility of getting a 50mW-100mW 532nm module only for one of to project idea I had namely being RGB lasers of sorts, and they came through with letting me purchase the module, plus I bought a 50mW Black Cyber 532nm laser.
Also because I had ordered through email and not through the website, my request for LPM documentation slipped through the cracks, for both the Cyber and the module, but Max did email me the rough LPM values for both, the cyber was 65mW, and the module was 110mW, which I presume was without IR filter, with everyone else seeming to get 10-20mW of IR that puts the Cyber at 45mW pure green, and the Module at 90mW pure green.
Packaging: Same packaging as everyone else, bubble wrap envelope, with the laser box inside of a green wax paper.
On to the important stuff!
The Cyber:
It is somewhat focus-able just nowhere near as focus-able as the 660,445,or 405nm lasers we builds.
A nice sturdy feeling on/off tailcap switch.
No idea if it's water-resistant or not, and I don't intend to try it.
No charger or battery, almost wish I would have ordered one, since I have to steal one from my 445 laser to run it.
Price was $46.99US.
PRO's:
The unit feels solid, the tailcap switch doesn't feel as flimsy as some of the other tail caps we use. The beam is ultra thin, the dot is perfectly round.
CON's:
The white front piece of the laser seems to like thick glossy card stock, if it ever falls off I might look into cutting a piece of plexi glass to the correct size with a whole in the middle and epoxy a IR filter behind the hole, then epoxy the entire thing in place of the white piece.
Beam shots!!!!!
Comparison shots:
Left to right: LPF June 445, Cyber 532, 360mW 660, PHR-805t 120mW
Reverse order comparison
Left to right: Phr-805t 120mW, 360mW 660, Cyber, LPF June 445
Over all Opinion:
I'm pleased even if it has that little bit of a split of the beam, the beam is still thin and bright, slightly visible in the day and definitely visible at night. Plus I get a nifty laser splash (if that's even what it is) at close range.
The Module:
Now comes the module which breaks down at three points:
First threaded point, is the Laser diode/driver with the KTP crystal epoxyed onto a brass piece which is epoxyed to the diodes housing.
Second threaded point is the culmination lens which is adhered to the brass fitting.
The final brass piece hoses the focusing lens which can adjusted inside the housing, or you coud just rotate this last brass piece to adjust focus, but as for right now the beam is tight, and the dot looks good, so I'm not gonna mess with it.
Price for the module was $42.99US.
Con's:
The driver has a slight thermal issue with the transistor on the back of the board (Q3) where it heats up almost instantly.
PRO's:
The entire module is pretty sturdy, and aside from the transistor issue, which I'll have to add a heatsink to.
Sorry no beam shots, but When I tried to compare the module with the Cyber I couldn't tell the difference.
