I bought one like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3804993574&category=53141
Anyone have any experience with this vendor?
How do they compare with Viasho units?
Thanks!
Norman
keen to hear what you think of the unit.

I've got a 150mw. It had to get sent back due to a problem with the
vanadate, I got it back recently, and seems fine.
Nice pricing on these babies
*** I have dealt with Adrian on many occasions and have no complaints
whatsoever. A reputable distributor who does his best to satisfy
customers .
The Lambda-Pro series of lasers have TTL or analog modulation
(preferred for laser show , better effects) and I believe the same
modulation capabilities of 50 kHz. I haven't compared the beam quality
or divergence but they are likely equivalent. The only big difference
is that the Lambda-Pro has a seperate power supply whereas the Viasho
is an all in one unit , eliminating the potential problem of static
electricity damage (the nemesis of all electronics).
Hope this helps
Rick
Try where?

Just to clarify on the previous flaming post (the facts only):
- The poster AR50Guy AKA thei...@hotmail.com AKA aquariumdude on eBay, won
an auction for a Lambda Pro laser from me and then never paid. He then left
negative feedback for me. I guess he has a grudge now and feels the need to
post lies on alt.lasers??
- The lasers are NOT illegally exported, and no client has EVER had their
laser "caught in customs".
- The lifetime of the lasers is 5000+ hours and is WARRANTABLE, i.e. if it
breaks, we fix it for FREE. We have over 600+ eBay feedbacks and a 98.6%
positive feedback rating after selling over 500 DPSS systems. If such
problems DID exist, surely our feedback would reflect that by now.
- The Lambda Pro lasers are of the highest quality standards and many of my
clients can attest to that.
- "taiserver" on eBay is a reseller for SuWtech lasers. They are also a
very good brand. We were offered exclusive distributor status on their line
as well, but opted to maintain the Lambda Pro relationship.
Feel free to contact me for information on the systems.

You know damn well, the laser arrived non working. I attempted to
return it. You insisted I lie on my export declaration and call it a
power supply sample valued at 20 dollars US.
I needed the laser for lab use. It is far to unstable and unreliable
for spectroscopy uses. For an entertainment laser, it will probably
work fine.
I simply did not like getting a package from Bejing with false export
declarations! That shit isn't cool. I don't care that it saves you a
few bucks. It's lying. But than again, you seem pretty good at it.
I still have the NON WORKING laser I PAID FOR. I still would like to
return it with paperwork saying what it really is. I'm not going to
ship the thing to China and lie about the contents of the box. That's
just stupid.
Why not charge us a few more bucks and do things correctly.
FWIW, LASER head does not lase. Your upstrem contact @ lamda said it
was a crystal issue. I doubt it, since there is no IR detectable
either. The thing simply does not work...
I don't get why you try to slander people by saying crap like I never
paid. I paid your lying ass within 30 seconds of the auction ending.
Go crawl back under your rock...
The reason we asked you to declare the low value, is because Chinese customs
have trouble understanding "defective returning goods" and usually end up
assessing duty/taxes on the full declared value (which they legally should
not since the item is returning to the country of origin). So to save the
hassle, we ask that you declare for a low value - no big deal. It does not
save me a penny.
If you received the laser declared as a lower value, you should be happy,
since you were then not charged duties and taxes. Once again, doesn't save
me anything.
Knowing that you are still in possession of a defective laser, I am comitted
to getting this resolved. Please email me and we will arrange to have your
laser repaired.

Lying on the form doesn't save *him* a few bucks. It saves *you* from
paying Zhe Big Bucks in import fees. Depending on the country, fees can be
up to 25% of the total price including shipping, which is why many
customers ask suppliers to lie on their customs declaration forms, and
many of the shadier Asian world-wide suppliers do so as a matter of
course.

I'm not sure why you keep insisting on posting your dilemna in this forum?
I asked you to contact me regarding returning the laser for a refund or
repair - your choice, and you have yet to reply? You are well aware that we
offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee...
Is your intent just to post absurdities on the forum? If so, there is no
point, people are smart enough to compare ALL information sources and make
their own decision. If your intent is to have your laser repaired or
refunded, then PLEASE CONTACT ME! We can't help you if we don't know about
it! :-)
Thanks!!

I have bought three of those from Adrian. One was down to about 30mW
after 9 months. Sent it to the factory, they repaired it free and
promptly returned it. Good customer service.
Doesn't it invalidate the insurance on the shipping when you do this?
IIRC, the customs value is directly tied to the item value. You can't
declare a $20 worth to customs and then insure the item for $2000.

In-sewer-ants? Sounds painful. Can't be useful.

As Jasper alluded to though - insurance is pretty much useless anyways...

You might be able to declare it like this, but our customs officials
certainly wouldn't except it.
