Worked for about 5 mins after getting it, then stopped. Actually, "faded" would be more accurate. Replaced the batteries, and it worked for a while (10 mins), then stopped. Replaced the batteries, again. This time, the laser didn't turn on. Looking down the barrel (at an angle, mind you), I can see a faint red glow. Shaking, waiting, changing the batteries, and playing around with the switch, might get it to work, but not for long. I've since went back through the garbage and pulled out the batteries which I thought were bad, all measuring between 1.4 - 1.5 volts.

I bought this and I opened it up and put the batteries in. I shined it on the wall and I was surprised that I could see the beam in the low light conditions that I was in. Very bright. even brighter than the 50mw green laser that i bought, which was crap. good buy.

I do not know how this product performs as a laser, because I cannot get it to work. The laser takes two AAA-batteries. However, inside one half of the battery compartment, there is a metal ring that just prevents the removal of the batteries. I naively used the cheap AAA batteries that came with the unit, and they did not function. Now I cannot remove them, due to this insane design flaw. There are other similar lasers available through Amazon, perhaps it may be wise to consider those alternatives. I am sending this badly designed unit back.

I bought this about a month ago and returned it a few days later. It constantly faded to an almost invisible dot. I bought the "30mw 532nm Astronomy Powerful Green Laser Pointer" instead and it seems to be working much better. It too will sometimes fade, but it is so much better than this laser.

I don't know if its just mine, but on the inside, the batterys are kind of shaky. That might be why it dims and flickers and only works at certain angles after about 10 minutes of using. It works fine after replacing new batteries but i'd rather not change batteries every 10-15 minutes.
