Oh, my. I think I'm in love. I'd forgotten just how damn fun a green laser is.
I opted for the 50 mw pointer, and it's plain awesome. Back at Christmas, I had a 50 mw DX-style green that my mom got off Amazon as a present for me (that pointer fagged out, and the seller was kind enough to offer me a refund.
I told you that to tell you this; The Led Shoppe pointer is head and shoulders above the DX style in just about every way I can measure. With the supplied China Cheapy batteries, it'll cause a noticeable warming sensation on my skin. The beam is clearly visible in a room lit with a 100 watt bulb, and outdoors, the dot is visible god only knows how far away. I just lit up the top of a 300 foot radio tower that's about six blocks away.
The beam quality seems quite good at this point. I'm not seeing any of the scatter, spatter, or spikes that I saw in my DX style laser.
The threads seem tighter, and the button seems more responsive. I'm almost certain the optics are of better quality and design.
Time from my order to delivery - 13 days.
This thing is great. I'm off to go play.
