Re: SKYLasers (laserbtb.com)
I totally see where your coming from, but its all based on a one laser purchase. Only time will tell if everything you said is true. You're making big statements from only one laser, and I dont think thats entirely fair. It will take a large number of quality lasers before they wash off their 50/50 rating. What if the next laser bought is crap? Then everything your promoting will be trashed, and the people that took your advice will not be happy.
It's based on one laser purchase, and quite a few hours of instant messaging.
But you're right .. I should wait a bit, for more lasers to come from them before making such huge statements. But I am near certain I will be pleased with the 2 or more lasers coming in next week.
This is what they had to say about their quality.
"All our products are bronze LD mount, you will find our weight larger than others, cheap manufacturers are very smart to select cheap materials, we aren't using cheap materials. We always select the most expensive materials and best manufacturing crafts.
The handheld shell is aluminium. The best we can find in our city.
Our laser pen is heaviest, 1mm bronze shell."
The company Lazerer is nearly 100% on their lasers. With great prices and customer service. The owner is even a member here, and drops in to talk every so often. This is based on 100's of lasers sold. No one can disagree with that, unlike SKY.
I believe SKYLasers is on a whole new level in terms of quality.
Great prices - now SKYLasers' prices are quite unbelievable for the quality you got - this is assuming it matches the quality of my unit.
Lazerer's prices are definitely reasonable.
But the price difference between the prices is not too much and I think the difference in quality is a little more than that.
Customer Service - my goodness.
I've dealt with both Lazerer and SKYLasers customer service, and no doubt about it, Lazerer's customer service is up to the mark - very good.
But SKYLasers, it's like I would just fire questions at him via Instant Messaging and within 5-10 minutes, I get all my replies.
They're very nice as well, I may be able to get a 10% discount for LPF that I can display on my review.
Hopefully many, many people to come will have a good experience purchasing from SKYLasers.
I don't understand why I'm one of the first on here to do so.
IMO, we've been missing out.
Hey man I'm happy you got a great laser. I'm just saying you may want to tone down the hype, because it may come back to bite you in the ass. Its happened before, and I'm sure its going to happen again.
Thanks!
You are right, I might be going too far.
"I'm sure it's going to happen again."
If you're saying you're sure it's going to happen in this case - I'm just saying I highly doubt that. He reassured me that they won't compromise on quality if they get more orders.
I just hope everybody can be as happy as I am with their experience with this company.
Thanks, I was part of a Skylasers GB a long time ago and we got PGL style lasers. There we some issues with some of the lasers DOA and lack of power. Many of them were very nice though. Overall we didn't get a very good impression of the company back then because of the issues with quality. It is nice to see what is hopefully a sample of their current stock. Lazerer has a great inventory of lasers FS but even when they first came along their 1W 445nm Rifler lasers were not 1W, used plastic lenses, and had brass heatsinks. The issues were observed by the forum and corrected by Lazerer on their following inventory. I may buy a couple Skylasers so we can get a better sample.
I believe they must've stepped up their quality a whole lot.
If you decide to go with SKYLasers for one of their lasers, I hope you have a pleasant experience.
Looking over the specs for the laser you reviewed on the SKYlaser.cn website and they do not list any power for this model over 200mW. That is not very comforting. I have placed an order of 5 of their lasers for review. I will report my findings to the forum as soon as I receive and test them all out.
Yeah, they don't have the 300mW 532nm model on their Skylaser.cn website.
As that was the laser I was purchasing, I did ask the specs on that and I recall he told me that they were the same as the lower powers.
5!? :O
I hope you are pleased with your experience.
And it'd be nice if you could tell us which 5?
Also, please do 'report your findings' as soon as possible.
Thanks for being helpful to the LPF community!
It is listed on the web site when I looked--is the 1 piece 16340 model 532nm, 300mw
HL 532nm 50mW-300mW
He was talking about the skylaser.cn website, the 300mW version is - for unknown reasons - not listed on there.
