NX71 | Gatling Stretch 1600mW (1.6W) 450nm Blue Laser Pointer Review and more @nx7173 | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
A new laser pointer review vid, on this occasion we will see the popular Gatling Stretch Blue Laser 1.6W but in its most recent version.

Info:
The Laser is called Gatling Stretch, is a Class 4 1600mW (1.6W) with a wavelength (nm) of 450nm (blue).
I bought it in AliExpress for 57$ USD (~48.500 CLP), the price doesn't surprise me, you know that chinese shopping site sell everything cheap but always check the ratings and names of the stores carefully to avoid falling into scams.
If you want the 3W or 5W version I will put a safe site below.

Update 18 apr 2024: this laser has given me readings of 1595mW with my pocket lpm! completely happy and in expectation.

Personal Opinion:
A bright laser, especially at dark night it surprises, is very stable and the visibility is greater than a 532nm 100mW green, the difference is notable but not in an extreme amount when I compare the 100mW green with the 1W 520nm, that's an 8x times difference and with this 1.6W 450nm a 2x times.

My rating:
Design: 9.6/10 (¹)
Power: 10/10
Visibility: 9.0/10
Dot Divergence & Focus: 9.8/10
My Final Rating: 9.7/10

(¹) The fact that use 2x 18650s makes it incredible specially for lasers that demand high power and consumption.
Another thing is, although it doesn't say anywhere that you can put wristraps, is possible to use them, there is a small space in the tubes of the body to put, example: 0:19

Battery Required and Direction:
Required 2x18650 (no flat top)
Direction: Negative (-) to body spring and Positive (+) to Switch
Totally Recommended +2500mAh ones
