Not sure if this is normal, but there seems to be a lot of light leaking out around the beam. Even when I focus is down to a dot, there is a line of light extending out.

I am relatively new to the laser hobby, and I just got this PL-E Mini from Jet Lasers a few days ago. This thing is a beast! My other laser is a "5 mW" green laser (301 type), and it's impressive for what it is, but this PL-E is a whole new level (y)(y)
Build quality is outstanding. It's got...
I got these with a 405nm laser I ordered from Laser Pointer Store. They looks pretty cheap, and have no markings to indicate wavelengths blocked or OD. I briefly shined the beam at the side of the glasses, and it did seem to stop it. Are the glasses for violet lasers normall greenish like...
I just got one, and it looks neat so far. Two quick questions. I got it from Laser Pointer Store, and ordered a pair of safety glasses from them. They weren't very expensive, but still should be OK to use, right? There is no marking on the lens, so I don't know what wavelengths they block or...
Wondering what you use to safely stop a beam? I'm getting a 2W PL-E mini from jetlasers, and am assuming it's not good to just have it pointed at a wall or something.
Just got this Eagle Pair of safety glasses (190-540 + 900-1700). First impression? Very nice :cool: Being new to this, I didn't know what to expect, but it's really surprising how it makes my green laser disappear, except for a tiny, tiny dot. Keep in mind, it's one of the overpowered "5 mW"...
I currently have a 301 clone in green from Amazon, that is labeled as 5 mW, although I'm sure it's more powerful. I've been doing a lot of reading lately about laser safety and all that, and while it would be fun to try a higher-powered laser, I am a bit nervous now. The class 4 lasers that...
I got this green laser off Amazon, which appears to be a 301 clone that is definitely more than 5 mW. The battery and charger that came with it don't look to be the greatest quality. Wondering if I should get a better one? Battery is 18650 (2600 mAh). Just looking through these batteries on...
I just bought one of the cheap, Chinese, green lasers off Amazon. It looks like the Laser 301,but without any markings:

I didn't realize it when buying, but I've read a bit lately about how these are...
