First Impressions
What can I say? I bought this for a little over a pound off ebay. described as a 1mW red laser pen.
It shows up today and it says it a 100mW laser on the label
?! Is this more kidology on the part of the Chinese manufacturers? Are these being listed as 1mW to fool ebay? or is it really 100mW? If it is really 100mW then it's illegal here in the UK.
Like all the other generic pen lasers this specimen is no different. Quite well made with good screw fittings and hit and miss button contact. But thats fine with me.
The added star cap makes for a nice addition to the normal spot only pens.
Like the others in this style, it take two AA batteries.

Wow! 100mW this is awesome!
More of the label. It's a class 3 laser according to this
Testing
It works like you would expect. Although brighter than my other red pen laser. It's equally if not brighter than my 5mW green which calls into question this products true power output one again. If it's not really 100mW then it has to be at least 5mW. I'm sure I will never know the answer to that.
The star cap thing is really good and bright considering its cheap and crude plastic construction. No where near as effective as the stars offered up by the green 303 laser, they are good enough to entertain the kids or the cat.
Take the cap off and the main spot beam is brighter than you would expect. Well worth the asking price.
Nice little star cap provides hours of amusement (for kids)
The red dot is actually really bright
Rating: ✅✅✅✅✅ 5 out of 5
It's not really 100mW - that's blatantly obvious. It is bright though and the additional star cap is a really nice feature. This laser pen can put a spot out over quite a distance. This thing can easily hit a building over 100ft away with some to spare. It really is the luck of the draw when you get these from China. Some suspicious 1mW listed lasers are better than others! lol
For under £1.50 it's worth a punt!
