Here's my review of the Warnlaser Tiger Series 80mW GX:
I got this as a review unit. It came in a nice little plastic box with two spare slots for batteries.
Power and Beam Diameter
The first thing i did was meter it, and sure enough, it was overspec: 98-100mW.
I did some burning tests, and it pops 2 balloons from about 2 feet away instantly.
It lit a match instantly from 1 foot away. The beam is 1.2mRad as advertised
Cosmetics
It looks kind of like a CNI pen, but with a round button.
The aperature cap does not screw off.
It takes 2 AAA batteries. It came with a crooked label.
Build
It is fairly well built, and very similar to a CNI.
It does not use a c-mount pump diode.
Overall
This is a good laser!
I would give it a 4/5 overall.
If you have the extra $150, go for it!
Unless you have the extra money for an X100...
