good advice, I will look for a 50mw laser. I'm going to check out the reviews section of the forum. Thanks

Lazeerer, you are quite knowledgable with budget lasers. I do not really care about burning at all, I want the best divergence possible for astronomy applications. Can you point me to a tighter divergence laser with around the same price/power? I will look around the forum as well. Much...

send by sea? dude you don't know what your talking about. The reason it takes so long it because they take forever to process your order and send it out. Hong Kong post is way faster than China Post . I buy mostly from kaidomain.com and manafont.com now, they ship most stuff the day after i...

holy crap, there must be a cheaper way. How to the chinese site sell stuff so cheap? I bought something on DX for 99 cents....

If they are dead you could send both of them back for lets say 10 dollars (in the same package) and get a 50 dollar refund!

Any updates on this baby? I am close to ordering one. how long do you think it will run on a 10440? Not continuously since it would heat up too fast, but total run time? I would hope for 20 minutes.

Thanks for the replies everyone! I probably should have done a bit of research before, but the forums are a bit overwhelming for a laser newb and I wasn't really sure what I was looking for. It sounds like there is no way to pot mod this laser. Turning the potentiometer doesnt tighten it or...
