Getting Chinese lasers to the UK

[allthatwhichis]

Well, you do have to admit, with the prices on some of your lasers, the replacement cost is included!

Huh? Elaborate on that Ben. I have found their prices very good. They are in AUD not USD though. You have to convert the prices listed.

[Laser Ben]

Well for example, a 100mW 532nm LE series unit from Lasever with a 1 year warranty is only $130 plus about $65 shipping! LSP charges $328usd with less warranty and higher shipping. A 200mW 671nm DPSS is $260 from lasever while the equivelent CNI unit is $1540 with over $100 in shipping!

I'm not trying to bash them, just saying that the prices are kinda on the high side!

I know, from my research I found them to be very close in prices and wanted to see what you found exactly. You must have been quoted better prices than I was when I got my 150mW LE green, or they have dropped prices since the issues they were having.

My 150mW cost approx $350 + shipping, I believe dave quoted me something close for a 150mW CNI. I think shipping was higher so I went with LE. I had to send it back once for a replacement which when I got it back it started to flicker and was fairly unstable after 3 or 4 weeks, about the time everyone started to have blue issues. I decided it may be a driver issue and with all the blue issues I figured I'd play with it myself. After turning the power down to match my other lasers, it finally died a week ago.

LOL, you compare a CNI with a Lasever..

Now I know what to buy next...

Have you heard of ANY problems with the new black heat sinked ones? I'm waiting in a response from David so I can pay for a 250mW 671nm, 100mW 473nm, and a 100mW 532nm. All cost me $1175 shipped.

[dave]

As we haven't sold any for quite a long time Ben, I haven't heard of any problems. I'm happy that none of our customers are the guinea pigs tho

PS, you are going to need a lot more than 250mw of 671

Damn, beat me to it. 3 or 4 of em to balance that green. Does LE make a 457? That'd be a nice palette. that is a nice price.

[Laser Ben]

I know, thinking I might get a 635 in there instead.

2 of the maxyz would balance well with 100 blue and 100 green, and the beam specs would match too
