Hey Spyder, if you see this, please e-mail me about the IR pointer you sent me. :yabbem:

This sounds a lot like the claimed 700mW I bought from Boblaser.com at about the same price. It peaks at a little over 500mW, but only for 30 seconds or so, then it drops steadily down to 300mW or less and won't go back anywhere near it's peak numbers until it's been left off long enough to cool...

The thing is, I've never seen anyone else advertise a pen sized green pointer with that kind of power output. Anyone else seen anything comparable?

A while back I bought the claimed 300mW red laser from them, and it was more like 180mW average, peaking momentarily at 200mW, and that's running off an 18650 3.7V. That's one reason I'm suspicious of their claims with the green.

Kenom, if you want to send me a private message with your address, I'll go ahead and send it out to you so you can see what you're dealing with.

Kenom, I'm supposed to get a tracking number for my new 2.5W IR laser today. I'm really interested to see this thing, especially considering it's a one of a kind, totally custom build. Apparently it's pretty wicked, I think I'm going to have to be pretty carefull with this thing. Maybe I...

Still waiting on on my super duper IR laser. It's taking quite a bit longer than expected. Hopefully, it'll be worth the wait.

I'm anxiously awaiting my new laser too! I will send you the old "boblaser" as soon as I can get my new 3W IR from Spyder

At http://www.megalaseruk.com they have a pen sized green laser that is claimed to put out 300mW. The thing is, it runs on two AAA batteries. To me, this just doesn't sound right. Anyone have any insight? I was thinking maybe with two 10440's, but then that would probably just kill it.

A quick note on Wicked Lasers. I was similarly afflicted by their advertising. I came across them first, and bought a 125mW laser from them for $400! When I finally started doing some research, I realized how ridiculously over priced that was. Fortunately, it wasn't too late to return it, which...

I'm relatively new to all this too, Jazzlikethat. However, I promise you, you can buy lasers WAY over 5mW here in the U.S. Most everyone here as lasers in the 200-300mW range, and some way over that. I have a rather cheap green laser that peaks at around 550mW, but drops as much as half of it's...

Hmm, dead thread. At least it's peaceful.

chicken Hey FIreMyLaser, now that I have taken a look at that chicken, it looks like it's been choked an awful lot.

BluTroll Look, I really don't want to fan the flames. However, I was just so amused by BluRay telling someone else that they're not that smart, while writing that statement at a third grade grade grammar level. Hmmm, maybe YOU'RE not that smart after all. (BluRay, the CAPS are a hint) Done...

If I ever need to get revenge on an enemy, I'm just going to come in here and tell everyone that he bought a laser from Boblaser, and he'll feel the wrath from hell. [smiley=evil.gif]

I'm trying to be a nice guy here, but Laser83 felt it necessary ding my reputation -1 point. Like I said before, I just don't understand the animosity that comes from some people. Good luck selling your laser

I understand that because I asked what to many of you are simple questions regarding lasers, AND I didn't follow everyone's advice (how dare I) that some of you were compelled to respond rather indignantly. I still don't understand the level of animosity I received initially. However, I...

That's my quote. All I was saying was most people, like me need a power meter to see if a laser measures up to it's claimed output. I said it would take a "very experienced" person with lasers to make such judgements without a meter. I NEVER CLAIMED TO BE THAT PERSON. I KNOW I'M NEW TO THIS...

Overall the quality isn't THAT bad with Boblaser. However, their higher powered lasers don't quite measure up to their claimed output figures. I think they realize the vast majority of casual laser hobbyists don't have a power meter. Unless you were very experienced you probably wouldn't know...
