[rant] *sigh* do you SERIOUSLY have to be irresponsible and perpetrate the unsafe use of handheld Class IV lasers? I don't care how many goggles and warnings you provide with these things...they're still unsafe... Its one thing to build your own, its another to make them readily available to people who don't have sufficient experience with lasers and don't respect the dangers. Not to mention its really a waste of a laser to use it as a lighter or a glorified flashlight; 445 nm diodes do not exhibit fine enough beam quality to be used for lab use, hence have reason to not be in a nice little head with a TTL-controlled driver for show use. Also, I see you advertise 1.3W, 1.5W, 2W, and 2.2W 445's. PLEASE tell me the 2W+ stuff uses a pair of diodes and a polarizing beam splitter, and doesn't achieve its output simply by overdriving the poor diode. These diodes really aren't meant to be run at much more than a watt - the diode lifespan will suffer otherwise. [/rant]

It's all about the money bro, and plus we give out free protective googles with every laser.

*sigh* so you don't even pretend to be socially responsible :( there goes what little faith I had in human goodness. Goggles are not sufficient...you can't protect all the eyeballs that are likely to be around when someone demos their shiny new laser to their friends. Also, do your lasers have a a key switch and a remote interlock connector as per 21 CFR 1040.10? I'm not trying to be a jerk; rather, I'm trying to prevent the serious legal ramifications that could result from a well-publicized laser injury. Also, I don't like people who sell things knowing they're very potentially harmful, (long-term eye damage, burns, etc). And please don't start an argument about gun regulations in response to that statement, people.

To anyone even remotly interested in checking out this site... DONT.
The following member/owner of that site is a scammer ... already scammed a bunch of members on Laserpointerforums and others. Goes by DAOO, Darkarmyofone, or simply, Tyler.
Save your money and the trouble, AVIOD this site and seller at all costs.
