Spartan GW 300mW vs 150mW Bluray: match-lighting contest

I decided to pit my 350mW green against my 150mW bluray. The winner? The bluray. It took longer to light the matches with the bluray, but only because I have the shakiest hands ever. Also consider that the two matches lit by the 300mW were sharpied (darkened with a sharpie to allow them to be lit) and the other ones, lit by the bluray, were not.

LOL that is NOT 350mW of green or 150mW of 405nm!

I've got a laser power meter to prove it so I don't much care what you do or do not believe about this video

LOL so do I laserbee 1.1W.... My 130mW PHR lights 'em faster, and 350mW of green lights sharpied matches WAY faster!! I got my trusty RPL 350 for that!

Out of curiosity, what LPM do you use?

I've got one of the original Kenometers with the Coherent 3W thermal sensor head. The reason they matches didn't light very fast with the bluray is I fucked up the focusing and I have shaky hands so even when I got it right I still had to hold it steady and the Spartan has a crappy beam diameter but plenty of power

but when burning black stuff, the wavelength doesn´t matter anymore.

of course the spartan wins, cause its 2x the power of the blu ray one

[amnizu]

sure but it doesn't fit in your pocket

same way you can burn through white printer papaer with a 120mW blu-ray but can't do anything to it with a 250mW red laser.
