Ahh, the power of 300mW. Took a while to get the focus down, but once I do, the match goes down in a matter of seconds...

  • Those are generic lasers made by a company in China called KOLO.

    They are way underspec. That thing is probably around 150-200mW.

    Get a Laser Power Meter and measure it.

  • KOLO? Never heard of them. Crap, I hope your not right about the underpowered thing, then again i got this on Ebay so I wouldn't be suprised. Luckily I didnt pay too much for it...

    Do you think $160 for a 150-200mW is still a fair price? Or do you think I got ripped?

  • You got ripped...

    I charge $160 for a 250-300mW laser with a genuine sony Open Can diode.

    That laser uses the same diode as the DX200, which is the long closed can, AKA the phasor diode.

    It is a fairly good diode, but maxes out at around 200mW...

    So, not as good as an open can.

  • Crap, thanks for the info.

    *note to self* never buy off of ebay, but rather, make your own. DIY FTW.

  • 23 seconds because of three reasons.

    1. low batteries at the time

    2. I spent freakin forever messing with the focus. thinking of pulling this video and redoing it. (surely u have the same problem with the focus on the DX laser)

    3. I did NOT use a sharpie on the match. so it is red tipped. (since red color means it absorbs everything but red, my laser is naturally going to take longer being a red laser, with a green this would have been much faster)

see all

  • no affence but with my homemade 300mw red laser i can burn a match in 1 second. I will make a video soon.

  • yeh,this is crap

  • where did you get your laser at?

  • Maybe the fucking lasers fom deal extreme or ebay are only 100mw when they say its 300.

    Still the price of these 100mw is cheap

  • Are you wearing safety glasses?
