Laserglow Technologies Aquarius-60 blue laser pointer Review

This laser is worth $ 20 – $ 30 tops. If anyone wants to waste their money, I ask myself, chewing gum for $ 500 a stick!

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.
