This is my over due review of the laser I got on the free laser giveaway from tommy at laserpointerstore.com. This laser was sent by DHL which was very quick in getting this laser to me. The shipping cost me $20.00, but the laser was free of charge. It took about three days in total to arrive after it was sent.
The laser came with two unmarked but fully charged 26650 batteries. I confirmed their charge on my Opus BT-C3100 Intellicharger.
The laser has a screw appliance in the tailcap that can connect or disconnect the batteries while in the host. The polarity of the batteries is backwards from what I expected as the positive side goes toward the tailcap.
Here is a photo of the charge LEDS on the side of the host.
The first thing I did was to measure the power of the low and high power settings that are initiated by pressing the side switch once for low power and then two more times in quick succession to engage high power. There is also an SOS mode that can be engaged by pressing the switch down for five seconds.
This shows a measured power of 438mW
This shows a measured power of 1648 mW. I found that the divergence of this laser is much better than could be accomplished with a single element aspherical lens like the G-2. After further examination I found that the lens was actually a three element lens which would account for the lower power on high.
Next I took a spectrometer reading of the diode in the laser on low power. It read 444.92nm, or 445nm.
Here is a quick beam shot in doors in high lighting conditions. I'll add more as I can once I have ideal dark lighting conditions.
Here's a better beam shot in low power.
Thanks for having a look. :thanks:
