What's up with these greenees?

[Davo]

have you tried different batteries in it?

the ones that came with it, then some freshly recharged energizer batteries

 

[MarioMaster]

after the dim that looks to be about 0.5-1mW, so yea it's pretty bad

I ordered one if for no more than the housing.

As mentioned above, aren't these hard to open? Once you receive it, let us know how you open it

If you know how to do it is isn't, that is as long as you have the right tools. This threads explains opening those lasers a little bit: http://www.laserpointerforums.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1208106955

Use it as a "throw down",

when the cops try to mess with you, you give up the 5mW
& keep your good powerful one.

I thought I was the only one that did that ;D

When we were out camping I had my Alpha125 in one pocket, and a "true 30" in the other... in the unlikely event Johnny Law came to see what was up with the green beams, the Alpha would be tossed into the weeds (for later retrieval) and Johnny only knows of a True30. Much less to 'give up' if Johnny decided to violate my 4th amendment and confiscate my lawfully owned property for doing nothing more than star pointing.. but anyway... yea - having a 'sacrificial lamb' is never a horrible idea at all. And at $12, that would be a fine deal

I find it best to just use my good lasers far away from populations. It's smarter, and safer... and much less risky, period. But when camping, the kids like to see it - so I bring it... along with a "patsy laser". So far, no worries. Never had an issue - but than again - I am not doing stupid things with my lasers either...
