I'm a complete newbie here however I'be been posting/internetting/laser"ing" things for a while and I recently got my first green laser.
I do have a few questions though:
I did get the one that's a Sony and has a glass colluminating (sp?) lens, it's supposed to be a real high quality I guess.
I'm NOT interested in overdriving it at all, however what I AM interested in is this:
When I first turn it on, it seems to "sputter" in that it'll change it's brightness very suddenly for about 1-2 seconds and then puts out a directly green beam that doesn't seem to waiver at all.
I've only had red pointers and have seen them burn out *whoops /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif* as well as when the battery gets low seen them simply fade out as soon as you push the button.
Is this typical of a green laser? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif Is there something wrong? It's still within my warranty period so I COULD have it sent back and replaced however I wanted to know if this is something I can expect if I got another one for example?
Basically is this something I should be worrying about or is it just fine and I'm over-reacting?
Thanks for any help you can provide, and Awesome forum by the way /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
