Hey so before you tell me I'm posting in the wrong section, I know. This belongs in the lasers measurements section, but there's hardly anyone viewing that section so I thought I would post here where there are 2,000+ people viewing.
Anyway, I found this LPM on Ebay that can measure up to 10W continuously and up to 20W for <5 minutes. It also reads down to the .01W (10mW) which is a huge plus over the 30W continuous/60W for <5 minute LMP he sells that only reads down to .1W (100mW).
So my questions: Is there anything I should be worried about with an LMP this cheap? I was literally on the verge of buying the LaserBee 5.2W for $250 and then I found this 30W/60W one for $325. I only ask because this seems suspiciously cheap especially when compared to the professional LMPs that measure up to 10W but cost $1,000+.
