I purchased this year's ago from a local and have started digging into it and doing some research. It appears to be a NECglg3030. I've done a web search and found very little information or even pictures. I intend to sell it, provide me with some information as to what it could be valued at...

Here's mine

Of the three reviews I found on LPF of the 2W arctic they were 2.4W-2.6W Perhaps wicked knows when a forum member orders and sends an overspec laser for that exact reason? You do realize this is insane... Right? All the information available suggested it was a 9mm. And now there's official...

I called and was told to ask Joe. Here you go.

iPhones happen :yabbem:

I've already made my next purchase. A 500mW 405nm from blorg. I do understand difference between duty cycles and life expectancy. If we assume that running a laser for extended period of time, let's say 45m (what one can expect from a full charge on this laser) and if heat is the enemy and the...

Doesn't a 9mm make the most sense? Given the advertised unlimited duty cycle a conservatively driven 9mm would be the most logical explanation. Their 1w used to be around 750mw why would they go out of their way to overspec the 2W model? Yeah, it's a fairly expensive diode but we are talking...

Thank you for the incredibly thorough review. I don't think people realize this company's products aren't the same as they were a couple years ago. They earned their reputation at that time but now over spec is the new norm. To add a now third impression, I couldn't be happier with mine. LPM'd...

Based on that I guess that would make mine an sl. Sadly I may never know for sure :-(. I don't have the technical expertise to make a power supply and don't feel like spending $150 on a factory unit. Also, this the tube i have is a .5mW Green. I went back to look at the emails my conversation...

I was just going to say that I found out it's a Nec glg-3030. Although there are no markings to identify it. SAMs FAQ helped with pictures

Not five minutes after I submitted that post I got my tracking number from wicked lasers. According to the USPS it arrived in South Carolina on the 17th. I'm assuming that's where the United States customs is. Expected Delivery Date: January 21, 2014 Product & Tracking Information Postal...

I ordered my 2W Arctic roughly the same time as you. My thinking is checking the order status daily and stressing wont make it arrive any faster. It'll get here when it gets here. At least their lasers are up to spec (or over) now.

Pick these up for $20 as is (the whole lot) The Nec is the only operable one at the moment but the power supply is making some bad noises and it clearly need some fixing up. The argon head was said to have a beautiful aqua/turquoise color. I nearly peed my pants when he said that. I don't have...

PayPal'd and PM'd :yh: Looking forward to the gorgeous - 405nm 500mW 1-20-14 PM sent About adding a 638nm to the order.
