Most Helpful First | Newest First | + SharePerfect for astronomy
(5 out of 5) by Happy Shopper on Nov 30, 2009 (WV USA)Got this to start astronomy. The beam is awsome, reaches right up to the stars and can be seen in the binoculars to know you're in the right spot. It is very semsitive to cold. We have been viewing the November sky so we just keep it up our coat inbetween uses and the beam gets bright again. LOVE IT!!
TOP DRAWER PRODUCT FOR THE MONEY
(5 out of 5) by R. Petocz on Nov 27, 2009 (Houston, TX USA)Very cool. I certainly recommend this device but I also recommend that you install brand new lithium batteries instead of the batteries that are supplied with the light. I own 3 different power-level green lasers, (a 20mw, 30mw, and 50mw), and have received far better results with the lithium batteries right from the start.
The light is well made, (certainly for the money), as is the case it comes in. They also supply a microfiber cloth and instructions, (I am truly amazed at what I got for the price I paid, very reasonable). DO NOT POINT THIS AT YOUR PET'S EYES, let alone anyone else's. It can and will do damage. I have 2 cats that love to play with the 'scampering red light', (my safer red laser). So if that's what you want to do, please use a red laser. They're `a dime a dozen' and you can find them anywhere. Walmarts, Office Depot's, etc. Even the reflected intensity of the green lasers are too strong to look at for any duration and your pet, (particularly cats), will focus their full attention on that green point of light on the carpet or floor regardless of how bright or uncomfortable it is . This will permanently damage their vision. Please be responsible with it. This is NOT A CHILDS TOY.

5mw Laser.
(1 out of 5) by A. Wilson on Nov 23, 2009Product is NOT a 20mw laser. Do not be fooled. Spend the little extra and get the 50mw shipped by HDE and get a real laser that isnt 5mw. Cheap Cheap product. Returned by amazon, great return, fast responce and im glad that I went with them rather than anyone else. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS LASER!
For the price , just excelent !!! very brigth an the case is really nice ,in use like 3 hrs daily since arrive two weeks ago
(5 out of 5) by M. Grullon on Nov 17, 2009just great for the price a friend of mine had a pointer really expensive but this one shows a much stronger green ligth. I recomend this, excelent for the price and pointing the stars, never people.
This thing rocks.
(5 out of 5) by Jaredin Pon on Nov 13, 2009 (Boise, ID)Got to play with this on a camping trip. It does stretch high into the sky and is visible for about a mile in 1AM darkness in the wilderness. You can keep it on for quite a while too, without brightness fall off, but it's not recommendable since it suggests you don't. For the price, it's unbeatable and the shipping was quick. And the fact that it comes with batteries and a carrying case, that just sweetens the deal.
Pros:
Durable metal body
Case and batteries
Brightness
Battery life
Cons:
Blinds cats if you're not careful
Blinds you if you're not careful
Don't get me wrong, I'm not stupid and didn't look into it, directly at it, etc. but this thing is so bright that if you shine it on an object not at least 30 feet away, it will burn your retinas pretty bad.
P.S. Don't buy this for cats. It's so much brighter than a regular laser pointer that its really bad for them, not to mention that if you're waving it around, there's a chance you'll catch a reflective surface. This thing is so bright, the walls should be considered reflective. Learn from my mistakes...
