Interesting shots, Howard, thanks for posting them. That's pretty much what I expereinced when comparing my ComuterGeeks.com laser to both my Lucky Duck and my Beta. And like you, I have a twinge of buyer's remorse, because my Beta is brighter than the Lucky Duck- it really became more noticeable with NiMH batteries. I still want to do a more controlled test sometime soon, but my daughter's illness scuttled my time-off, and of course I was handed a huge contract last week that will preclude any free time for at least the next five or six weeks. It never fails, as soon as I schedule time-off, the stuff always hits the fan. But keep the faith, the weather is only going to get warmer! ;o) I have visions of a dozen or more bright laser beams simultaneously piercing the darkness! I am going to really try and make it to SPOC this Wednesday night for a training class on the 32", maybe you could meet me there for a mini-test?

I recieved my new 20mw Lucky duck laser on friday and was able to take a few comparative pictures of it side by side with the 5mw version I recieved a month ago. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
