thanks nute ;) so- I completely dissembled the laser- there it was, as clear as can be, engraved on the inner cylinder "9/2014 1.7w blue" lol! just a wee bit short of the 12,000mw on the sticker! chinese :rolleyes: still a fun laser ;)

yeah- I would say dropping a zero is an accurate statement. It's funny because the box says class IIIA laser, but the sticker on the device says Class IIIb- lol I'm far from being an expert on lasers but I'd guess this is somewhere in the 2+ watt range. neither class is correct for a 12w laser...

I'm starting to crash hard- it's 1:45am here in kowloon. check back tomorrow ;)

I'm at the regal hotel in kowloon, hk (70 mody road). I'm actually only about 1.5 miles from wicked lasers (3 miles round trip). I fly home home on thursday- so if you want one, let me know ;) I've been to hk 4 times, japan twice and s.korea a3 times over the last 2 years- the only 2 times my...

hmmm-I don't have a cd case- and my hotel room isn't very big... but wow, it is burning the back of the black "no smoking" sign at about 10' away- I put my hand in front of the beam and it took less than 3 seconds for it to hurt. Think I need to recharge the batteries again. haha- I'm burning...

here's a pic of it toasting my cell case at 5' away- it's an instant burn. I can even go back further and it'll still burn it! You can't tell in the pics, but I have all the room lights on- and the laser beam is as visible as a blue rope! The camera filter is filtering out the room light- I'm...

I know it's not close to 12w - but it is pumping out some good power for a handheld- no problem burning things 5' away!

ahhhh! there we go- had to resize the pic for the upload ;)

here's a pic of the chinese one I just bought- it's so bright, it was hard to get the camera filter to not turn on so you could see the beam! hmmm... I uploaded 3 pics but I don't see them in the post :huh:

lol- yep, just a vacant island full of trees- my house is at the far end of a 2 mile long lake. it'll be neat on a misty night. that's a great price for a blue laser with that power- wish I saw that first! well, I'm sure I'll burn this thing out fast- I'll buy that one next ;)

wow- I just put freshly charged batteries in it- it's burning my cell phone case from about 5' away!!!

lol- yeah- I'm wearing the goggles ;) I can't find a duty cycle spec anywhere on the insert or box- no surprise there. I only have it on for maybe 10 - 15 seconds at a time. ehh- was only $100- it'll be fun to shine across the lake at night with the kids when I get home ;)

right? I know the label is bs for sure- I wasn't falling for it- but I figured even if it was 1w it's still a fun buy ;) I'm sitting here in my hotel room hoping I don't set off any alarms as I burn different materials. :D I'll say this- it does heat up fast (the case) it gets uncomfortably...

Hello all- new to the forum. found you by way of google while seeking info on a laser I just purchased. so- I'm a "medical equipment technologist / metrologist" - just a fancy name for a guy who fixes hospital lab equipment like ftir spectrometers, osmometers and all the stuff you find in...
