I have wanted a powerful green laser for a long time . I finally found one that I could afford that would ship here at Beam Q Laser. I was very nervous buying over the internet because people can claim anything and show anything on an internet page and when you receive something that is not as advertised you are pretty much stuck with it . After waiting a while for my laser ,due to the holidays , I was disappointed when it failed to light a match as advertised and even worse it dimmed to less than my 50mw laser . I was relieved to find out that Todd from Beam Q Lasers is a man of his word and agreed to ship me a replacement (even before he had received the defective return).
The new one is of an improved build with two safety features . The knurled grip rotates to cover the push button switch and there is a key lock switch on the end of the laser . The new laser lights a match from 6" in under a second and punches through black vapor barrier plastic . I strongly suggest Safety goggles if you use this laser indoors .
The only negative I can say about the laser is that someone put silicone on the threads of the lens retainer and got some on the lens itself. The laser still works but would be nicer without this .
Bottom line - BeamQ is a company that can be trusted .

TechLasers 95mW Infiniti II Green Laser Review
Techlasers contacted me a while back asking if I wanted to review one of their green lasers. Being all about cool toys I agreed and it wasn’t long before they had sent me one of their Infiniti II Green Lasers. I gotta say these things are kick ass cool. It was especially fun on Halloween night while spooking in the local corn maze, I’m not sure which was more fun, scaring people in costume or freaking people out with the laser. It also made for great fun during the New Years countdown.
The laser itself comes packaged in a nice box and is accompanied by orange safety goggles and a note recommending they be worn when the laser is in use. They’re not lying, I aimed it down the hall and it was so bright I had to close my eyes. The casing is metal painted with a flat blue finish and comes with a silver carrying tube that’s very handy for traveling, allowing you to just stick it in your pocket.
The laser takes 2 AAA batteries, which it phenomenal considering how much power it puts out and what’s even better, they seem to last a good while. I’ve been playing with the laser off and on for several weeks now and the batteries last a pretty good while but I found that to get optimal performance from the laser you need good batteries. On a fresh set of batteries you can do things like burn holes in black plastic, pop black or dark balloons and light matches. We were able to pop a black balloon that was filled with air only, we tried serveral times to get it to pop one filled with water but it never would. We tried both warm and hot water in the balloon but it seemed the laser cooled too fast on the surface it would never penetrate. Oh well, it’s still powerful enough to be dangerous so caution should be exercised when using this laser and it makes a great pointer, especially if you’re star gazing, just don’t be pointing at any airplanes, that could get you a visit from some men in black suits.
