Red Laser Pointer Reviews

this is the first time I have purchased a laser pointer. I am not disappointed. It’s great for the price. I have gotten compliments on this laser pointer. It works great, and the price was great too.

I bought this laser pointer for my cat after reviewing all the other laser pointers Amazon sells. It had the best ratings for the price and I am very happy I purchased it. My cat absolutely loves it! I’ve had it for a few months and use it for at least an hour or two every night to play with the cat. It still works perfectly fine, even after I’ve dropped it a few times. My only complaint is that it doesn’t tell you which way the batteries go in and sometimes the top part comes a little loose, but that’s easy enough to tighten. If you want a decent laser pointer for a great price I highly recommend this one. I’m buying a second one for my sister and her cats.

LED Shoppe 50mW Laser pointer review edited (now with pics)

It took about 4 days to process the order, then I got an email that said my order had shipped, and would most likely arrive 10-20 business days later, it arrived in the chicagoland area on the 14th business day, so no surprises there.
*As a side note, if you want to order one, they checked the "signature required" option for shipping.

Obviously, the battery compartment is black, not as pictured on the LED shoppe page, but pretty frivolous. The laser arrived in a padded envelope wrapped in bubble wrap. The two halves of the barrel were unscrewed, and they included some cheap batteries. Upon using the batteries they gave me, they were terrible, but no surprises there. After some fresh batteries, it perked right up though.

Overall, I'm rather happy with this pointer. The construction is nothing special, very similar to other cheap pointers, though the clicky button has a bit less play in it, and the click feels a bit more solid. The dot is very bright, and I would not recommend looking at at without eye protection when it is incident on a light surface. When the laser is incident on a black surface, it looks about as bright as a 5mw dot on a light surface, but I still would recommend staring at it all day.

Odicforce Focusing Laser Host review

The contents of the kit:
- lens mount (M9x0.5 threads)
- AR coated plastic lens (blue coating for red lasers)
- focusing head
- spring (for lens)
- heatsink with diode pocket (direct press, no Aixiz module needed)
- body tube
- clicky switch
- retainer for the switch
- tailcap
- lanyard
- driver with separate contact spring
- several page long instruction sheet (very detailed, lots of pictures)

Build:
The build is fairly easy and IMHO perfectly suited for beginners. All you need for a high powered red laser is this kit, a LPC-815 sled or a single red diode and two CR2 batteries. Some tools are of course needed too ;-)

I used a LPC-815 sled which I got from a member of this forum. The extraction of the diodes was easy, thanks to the excellent guides and pictures in this forum.

I put a slight chamfer on the diode pocket to make the mounting process easier. Before the diode would get caught on the edge. I found that with the chamfer setting the diode is no problem. Use a piece of tube which is slightly smaller than the diode pocket to set the diode all the way. It should sit slightly lower than the bottom of the heatsink for best heat transfer.

Once the diode is pressed it, you solder the driver board to the diode and the supplied contact spring to the board. Read more about the driver and why you don't have to have a test load below. Continue to screw the heatsink in the body. Put the lens in the lens mount and screw it to the focusing head. Put the tailswitch in the tailcap, secure it with the retainer ring. Put the batteries in, plus sides first, screw everything together and you are done! Put on your safety glasses and push the switch.

How to Choose A Proper Laser Pointer

The first important point is no doubt the quality that consumers mostly concentrate on.

customers must have a clear decision by the real purchasing power.

Each blind selection of laser pointer would be no doubt a waste of money and energy.

Reviews for 100mw Burning Green Laser Pointer 2009

http://www.beamq.com/100mw-burning-green-laser-pointer-2009-pri-96.html?reviews_id=25

It was only eight days from ordering to receiving. Took me a few minutes to figure out how to operate the adjustable focus. It can light a black sharpied match. It can heat up in a hurry so it is important to allow it to cool after about thirty seconds.

Reviews for 500mW 445nm Blue Laser Pointer

This laser is awesomely powerful and unimaginably bright.The beam is like something out of a mission impossible movie and you can burn pretty much anything instantly with this laser. It's a really powerful device when focused or unfocused. Unfocused from twenty feet,you'll feel warmth on your skin after a few seconds, but focused on your skin from any distance up to 20 feet and your skin will start stinging after only a few seconds; the closer you are the quicker the affect. It's amazing to see how quickly this laser can burn through plastics, especially dark plastics, wood, matches, magazines, cardboard... anything!

I bought this laser after having attempted to buy a lower mW laser from wickedLasers, I'd ordered the laser and waited 30 days with much conflict from the wickedLasers staff, and they kept telling me they'd ship my laser, but never did. I finally decided to cancel my order and go with BeamQ since I had been able to talk directly with the owner here previously and he'd made some quality guarantees. I ordered this laser and spoke with him over gtalk and he told me my laser would be shipped out in an hour! I was stunned at the amazing customer service given by beamQ, my laser was shipped that day, within the hour, and got to me in 8 days; way better than going 30 days without the product even shipping!

The laser came in a brown package that got a little beat up in transit, but nothing was harmed inside, everything was fairly securely wrapped - especially the lithium battery which was surrounded in 3 inches of bubble wrap. It comes with the laser, a battery and a charger (with cable) and the charger light starts out red and turns green when its fully charged. Battery charging from dead to full takes about 5 hours but even charging it 3 hours now and then will get you 6-7 hours of burning things.

The laser is exceptionally well built. There are rubber seals in every connection to prevent invasive water damage if submersed. The housing is all metal and a truly quality device. It's very sturdy and well built. You can feel the quality just in holding it, the weight and quality of construction are worth the price alone. On the back end is the part which you can unscrew to put your battery in, (negative side in first!) and on the tip of the back is also where the button is. The button alone is really high quality, its a firm and stable button which clicks down to turn on, and clicks down again to turn off. It's a really good sturdy button which is comfortable to press over and over again.

The instructions that came with anything in the box were all in chinese, so most of the things with the laser I had to figure out myself, although it was all fairly self explanatory.

Also in the box there is a Q-line carrying case for the laser, which is a nice sleeve to slide it into to prevent scratches while its in your pocket, or if you use the belt loop on its back, its a nice way to carry it.

Now for the focusing and using of the laser. To focus the laser, you simply turn the laser on by pressing the button on the back, aim at what you want it to be focused on, and twist the front end a direction until the dot is the smallest, and usually the surface you are aiming at starts to smoke. The only minor problem with the focus is that the lens on the inside of the head isn't entirely securely fitted in there, so if you focus it, then jostle it a bit, then aim back at the same point, the focus may have changed due to the lens wiggling a bit. I'm sure you could take off the head, put a drop of hot glue or electrical tape over the area and it'll be fixed completely, but that's pretty much the only flaw on this device, and it really is minor.

To sum things up, the service here at BeamQ is astounding and the shipping was fast(make sure you email and ask for a tracking number(which I was able to also put into the USPS tracking once it was in the U.S. to see where it was now that it was here in the states)), the product is of awesome quality, they're the only company I know of which sells authentically waterproof/water-resistant lasers, and they are a company of good trust. If they say a laser is 500mW at 445nm, thats exactly what you're going to get. There is no scam here, unlike other sites.

I'd recommend BeamQ to everyone I know over any other laser site simply due to customer service and quality of product which I received.
