As promised here are some quick photos of my new Rigel from LaserGlow I just got about 1 hour ago :D Before I start I do need to note a few things, the rest are simply going to be pictures :)
(Please Read Below v)
Thank you for a few things LaserGlow:
Power: I was amazed from the power ratings I got from this unit. I purchased the Rigel-2 model with an output power of 0.6mW-1.9mW, but upon looking at the paperwork from LG they noted an average of 2.3mW, so on par with the $200 more expensive Rigel-5!! :eek: When run on my LPM I got 3mW, so I payed $200 less and got a Rigel within the power of the more expensive model. Excellent :beer:! You will see this within the photos below.
Carrying Case: Thank you, thank you, thank you for finally re-introducing the "old-style" cases with the laser model on it and not those grey cases with your logo on it. Gosh I hated those and find the black & gray ones with the model attached on it so much better to look at & show off! :D
Stability: I can't really comment on the stability yet but so far this unit has performed much better then other units I've gotten. I put some fresh AAA's batteries in(this takes 2xAAA's) and did not experience any dimming or lack of output at all. Excellent once again for 594 in a pen! My last unit had trouble being stable and would fluctuate in brightness :pop:

Well, it really does look like LaserGlow has improved their 594 pens, and am very, very happy with this 594 pen. This is the center piece of my collection! Even more so then my 473 even though that color is pretty nice to look at too! Like I said above, all the things listed above(apart from the stability note) will be shown below. We've had a lot of talk of 505nm & 480nm but I think it's time we bring back the other part of the 500nm spectrum, no? Thanks for looking & drool over yellows again! :thanks::thanks:
