Does anyone have any experience with this model? I've never dealt with a 405 before and i'm planning on getting one soon, and I noticed that the PL-E Mini in 405 has recently gained a 1W option instead of topping out at 500mW. Does anyone have a ballpark idea on the kind of battery life and heat...
Thanks for the replies. I had a PL-E Pro 1W 520nm in the past and I was happy with it, so I think i'm gonna go with the Mini 1W 520nm and get a Challenger 2 in 1W 635nm since I haven't had a red in ages.
I'm looking to get a green laser that's smaller than the standard PL-E Pro, so i'm looking at the PL-E Mini in 700mW 532nm or 1W 520nm. However, i'm also looking into Sanwu's stuff for the first time since I hear it's a good company and the Challenger 2 seems like a good pick as well. The main...
I haven't had it LPM'd myself, but the old graphs that came with both units I had showed one peaking at 654mW, and another peaking at 704mW. I can't remember which one the unit i'm selling peaks at.
Will do. I also forgot the mention the included beam expander.
Oh yeah, I always forget how...
I wasn't sure if I could get $300 for it since it's not new, but then I remembered that I actually haven't used it that much and it's just a little dusty on the outside. It was about $600 new, so i'm hoping half of that is decent. And the minis look nice, but i'm waiting for the day when they...

I'm selling my PL-E Pro. I've had it for a while but it's in good condition, has never been ran hot, and has only seen use on a few cold winter nights, and the 4th of July. Other than that, I haven't touched it in over a year. Price is $250 (includes shipping).
I'm also including a...
I'm in a bit of a bind right now, so i'm selling 3 of my handhelds that I haven't used for some time.
I have a 1W 445 Wicked Lasers Arctic.
A 600mW 532 Jestlasers PL-E Pro.
And a 1W 635 Sci-fi Lasers Arcane.
I hope that $350 is a fair price.
So with a diode and DPSS laser of the same power output, which would reach a higher temperature? I always thought that it would be the DPSS since they aren't quite as efficient and have to use more energy.
I just got another PL-E Pro today(1.6W 462nm), and I notice that it gets warm a lot quicker than my 600mW 532nm PL-E Pro. I haven't been into the laser scene in maybe a year or so, but I would've expected it to warm up at around the same pace as my DPSS green.
I was tempted to get something after getting an email about this, but then I remembered my past interactions with them and said screw it. If any company is getting my money, it's gonna be JetLasers.
I've added some pictures. The Arctic has some decent use but i've never ran it hot. I've had it since around last may, and I completely stopped using it around last November. I got the Arcane last December, and it barely has an hour of run time because I only use my lasers for night pointing and...
