If I remember correctly it was my 2nd aniversary of 8 years. So in essence, 6 years and its still kicks a 7mW output and a beam that is 3x thinner than my best DIY
During the big blackout that lasted 3 days in most of Canada, I must have put 20 hours on it alone. I placed a piece of scotch tape on the tip and used it for a kickass light ;D
Buy from Z-bolt. I bought my 635nm pointer from them and I got the laser 3 days after ordering. Also those lasers are well built and will last a LONG time.
Monk, I would be happy to purchase the internals from the units you are converting. I would like to try their optics in my builds. The beam is like a hair with those, my labby setups would be 3x as dangerous
I spent hours trying to find this Laser and I came up was vitalspirit for $59. I bought a Leadlight from vitalspirit of eBay before and was a pot mod retuned one (first one was mode hop and the RM replacement had scratch on the casing)
Anyway just ordered 3 from z-bolt for $125 shipped. [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
