So.. just to make sure.. If you have a 150mw optotronics pen as seen here: Optotronics Product Details You can safely put a(2x) Duracell Ultra in it... which runs at 1.5v-1.6v out of the package. Duracell Ultra Batteries AAA 4 pack: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo BUT.. if you want a...

i do have one more question... i am currently using energizer rechargeable aaa batteries at 850mAh at 1.2 Volts... the pen is not made to go over a 1.6volt battery, but will a 1.5v or 1.6v have a noticeable increase in brightness versus the 1.2v? Just curious if anyone has mw ratings for these...

My laser came in ! its amazing.. soooooooooooo bright... the beam looks great in a dark room.. and the dot really is like a mini sun.. i await my safety glasses.. as wow.. indoors... you DEFINITELY need them :) anyway.. now i wait until the actual sun to go down.. so i can pew pew into the...

I gave it some thought... But I do not want to damage my eyes as said pilot. In fact, I think all pilots should have to wear anti-laser goggles, not only for their safety, but it would be pretty cool and futuristic looking. This might just be a dream, but maybe one day we will all own high...

This is my mantra: Only let my eyes be naked when I am laying on the ground outside destroying stars and totally eradicating all the angels in heaven. (Plus, I have a personal vendetta against santa claus.. he already has seen way too much)

definitely. i was looking for one(or two) as you sent that :) can the indirect light, such as the dot itself cause damage? For the most part, I am treating this as a gun. I want to make sure people around me are protected as well.

I just ordered the opto 150 pen.. now.. i sit back and wait for the USPS to do its job... until then.. thanks for all the help !!! my god i cannot wait.. i am going to pew pew pew like a crazy man.. :drool:

All n all... I do think that the opt pen is the best "beam for the buck"... I would really like a nice portable laser, but for the money.. i cannot justify the $400+ price range for a trusted (and undoubtedly awesome) brand. As long as this pen can last me into my golden years with careful use...

Ahh.. perfect.. Plus.. they say that is is 60/60 duty cycle.. which, more than likely is around 80/80 or so.. i dont know how often i would blast it for over that anyway... I am definitely leaning towards that 150 opt pen.. Can I assume that popping in a couple of AAA lithium batteries will...

I have been looking at that as well... how is the quality of the laser itself? Plus.. does it lack an IR filter? And lastly... does it ship with a battery and the charger?

Ok... I have been reading through these forums for days now.. :) So much awesome information... I cannot WAIT to get a nice new laser to shine around town. My question: What is the BEST laser you can get that is in the 150-200mw range and for around $200... From what I am gathering...
