Tested this with an IR camera and the output is massive. It creates a thermal hotspot on my garage wall almost instantly. It's actually a bit unsettling how much energy is coming out of a beam you can't even see. Solid heat sink design.
Finally got my unit through customs. Packaging was okay but the laser itself is heavy as hell—feels like an industrial tool. Burned a hole through a black PVC sheet from about 15 feet away in seconds.
The 50x lens is a beast to focus correctly but once you dial it in, the distance is impressive. Only downside is the fan is pretty loud, but I guess that's the price for 120W handheld. Definitely buy legit batteries.
This isn't your average blue pointer. The IR spectrum is dangerous because there's no blink reflex. I bought some certified Eagle Pair goggles for 980nm-1100nm just to be safe. Included ones are fine for testing but don't gamble with your eyes.
Absolute monster. Lights a match in under a second. The build quality surprised me—very clean anodizing and the button feel is tactile. Use with extreme caution.
Using this for some lab-grade thermal testing. The current drive is surprisingly stable for a handheld unit. It's much more reliable than the 40W fiber 'igniters' floating around.
Got it for removing a hornet nest (I know, I know...). It works, but you have to keep the beam steady. The weight makes that a bit of a workout. Still, better than getting stung.
Insane power density. I did a quick test on a black t-shirt and it started smoking before I could even blink. The 4x 21700 config is the only way to power this much wattage properly.
If you're into high-power NIR, this is the one. Just looking at the beam path with an old digital camera—the scatter is bright. Very cool piece of tech for a DIY scientist.
Ships from overseas so it took a while, but it was worth the wait. It's rare to find a handheld that actually hits near-rated specs. This thing is legit.
Pure burning power. It cuts through electrical tape like it isn't even there. The safety cutoff at 45C is a smart addition, keeps the diode from cooking itself.
Solid build. My only gripe is the focus ring is a bit stiff, but I'd rather have it stiff than loose. It holds the focal point even with the fan vibration.
It's spooky how fast things catch fire with no visible light. My friends didn't believe it was on until the cardboard box started flaming. Be careful with secondary reflections!
Heavy duty. The case is all aluminum and handles the heat well. Definitely not a toy for kids. This is Class IV all the way.
Paired this with the 10x beam expander and it's much more practical for outdoor use. Focusing is way faster. Shipping to the UK was about 2 weeks.
Tested the output on my DIY calorimeter and it peaked around 114W. Close enough to 120W for me. Most of these Chinese lasers are fake, but this one is the real deal.
The invisible beam is a total game changer for my night-vision lighting experiments. Just have to be paranoid about safety. Wear your goggles!!
The charger it comes with is basic. I ended up using my Nitecore charger for the 21700s instead. Laser itself is flawless though.
It actually smells like ozone when you run it for 10 seconds. The power is terrifying. Solid purchase for any serious collector.
Fastest delivery to Australia I've had in a while. 10 days flat. No damage to the box and all batteries were fully charged.
Burns through dark leather and plastic effortlessly. I use it for marking materials in my shop. Very precise once you get the focal length set.
A bit bulky to carry in a pocket, definitely need a holster or a bag. But for 120W, you can't really expect it to be smaller. Cooling is top notch.
I've been on LPF for years and this is one of the better 'igniter' style builds I've seen. Stable output and good thermal management.
The red aiming dot is essential since you can't see the IR beam. Makes it much safer to point before you hit the main switch.
Perfect for lab research. The 980-1100nm range is exactly what I needed for my project. Much cheaper than industrial benchtop units.
Total beast. Don't point it at anything you aren't prepared to set on fire. It's basically a handheld blowtorch that you can't see.
Solid waterproofing. Used it in light rain and had no issues with the seals. The IPX6 rating seems accurate.
Focusing takes some getting used to. It's a very fine thread. But the precision is worth the extra few seconds of twisting.
This thing is scary powerful. It burned through the shipping box it came in during my first 5-second test. 10/10.
The battery indicator on the tail is a nice touch. I always know when I'm dipping into the red. 21700s hold up well under the load.
Best handheld I've added to my collection this year. It's a specialist tool, not for everyone, but if you need IR power, look no further.
Customer support was great. Answered my questions about the duty cycle within an hour. They really know their tech.
Matches light from across the room instantly. It's almost too fast. Make sure your backdrop is non-flammable!
I wish the beam expander came with a lens cap, but I just 3D printed one. Otherwise, a perfect high-power laser.
If you're a serious enthusiast, just buy it. You won't find this kind of wattage in a handheld anywhere else for this price.
Came with everything needed to get started. The goggles fit over my glasses which is a huge plus. Very professional kit.
Unbelievable. It cut through a plastic zip tie in a split second. The invisible nature of the light makes it feel like magic.
The cooling fan is efficient. I can run it for 15-20 seconds before the temp cutoff kicks in. Much better than my old pointers.
Using it for igniting thermite fuses for a demo. It works every time, even in wind. Much more reliable than a butane lighter.
Solid industrial design. No rattles, everything fits perfectly. It feels like it could survive a drop, though I'm not going to test that.
The duty cycle is better than I expected. I did a 20-second burst and the handle was barely warm. Heat sink doing work.
This is essentially a handheld death ray. The NIR wavelength is perfect for my night vision strobe project. Highly stable.
The batteries (21700) are beastly. Make sure to use a high-discharge charger, don't just rely on the cheap one included.
Box was slightly crushed on arrival in Poland, but the inner padding saved it. Solid machining on the threads. Zero rattle.
If you’re looking for a visible beam, move along. This is invisible IR. It’s for burning and science, not for light shows.
The lens is surprisingly high quality for a DIY-style build. Minimal chromatic aberration at the focal point.
Tested on black rubber. It sliced through it like a hot knife through butter. The power is 100% there. Crazy for a handheld.
Takes me back to the old CO2 gas lasers but in a tiny handheld format. Remarkable how far diode tech has come recently.
Don't point this at your curtains. Seriously. I accidentally scorched a corner of my rug while focusing. Scary fast.
Used it for some light soldering on black-coated components. Worked better than expected with the 50x lens setup.
The invisible aspect makes it so much more dangerous. I always double-check the red aiming dot is off before setting it down.
Shipping to Australia took 11 days. Tracking was accurate the whole way. Better than my experiences with other sellers.
Build quality is a 9/10. Minor scratch on the tail cap but the performance makes up for it. This thing eats through cardboard.
Matches light instantly from across the room. It’s almost scary how fast the energy transfers. Definitely not for kids.
Good for thermal imaging calibration. Stable output for at least 30 seconds before I felt any significant heat.
Hefty unit. You definitely want to use the wrist strap. Dropping this could be a $500 mistake you don't want to make.
The fan kicks in immediately. It’s a bit whiny, but it’s pushing a lot of air through that housing to protect the diode.
Verified 808nm-1064nm compatibility with my specialized goggles. Safety first, folks. This is a Class IV tool.
Cut through a 1/4 inch of black acrylic in about 15 seconds of focused fire. Unbelievable for a battery-powered handheld.
Used it to ignite a fire starter in a survival drill. 2 seconds and it was flaming. Incredible tool for my kit.
Packaging was professional. Included 21700s are actually decent quality cells, not the 99-cent junk you usually get.
Focusing is a bit finicky on the 50x lens, but once it's set, the burning range is unparalleled. It's like a sniper.
NIR is no joke. The heat you feel on your skin from just the scatter is intense. OD7+ protection is a must for your eyes.
Customs in Denmark cleared it without any hassle. Arrived in about 14 days. Seller was very responsive to my emails.
One of the most powerful handheld diodes I’ve ever handles. If you know what you’re doing, it’s a goldmine for research.
