So I received my 1-watt a few days ago.
And at first, I was thrilled. I couldn't even glance at the spot at the wall without glasses, and even my OD2 goggles weren't effective enough; I had to switch to my OD6+. It did all the hype. But after using it for about 20 minutes, I noticed that the beam got dimmer... almost to the point where it was just slightly brighter than my 115mw. Of course, I wasn't sure, so I bit the bullet and got a lasercheck. They only go up to 1 watt, so I was hoping to break the damn thing while testing.
Alas, it measured my 115mw a little low (95mw) but that's ok, it's an old Wicked Laser pointer I've been overdriving with a power adapter w/o great cooling, so a little damage was to be expected. So next for the Aixiz...
220mw...
Okay, maybe it isn't warmed up. Wait 10 minutes...
270mw. :?
I went back and tested the "115" mw again just to make sure I didn't burn up the lasercheck. Nope, 95mw again.
I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt to blame it on shipping (when they should have shipped express, what I paid for, and taken a day, they shipped priority, which took 4 days). Anyway, I'm dropping an email, and hope that they can resolve this. I'm not mad, just rather disappointed, but I'm glad I could identify this problem before I let it go on for too long.
