Hello and thanks for reading.
As regarding the output power, i knew from past posts that if i found OutPut Power <XX it means that the maximum power we can achieve with that device is XX.
But recently i read on a post that <XX means that the laser power is at least XX, that's an opposite point of view.
I had another confirmation of this by the last Nexus post about "125mW arrived" saying that "most likely your 70mW is outputting close to 90mW"...
So, i'd like to know, may be in an official way, if this famous label value is only an average one, or a superior or inferior limit (!?)
Best Regards,
Lift-Off

For output powers, it must always be <, less than, because it wouldnt make any sense to put >, greater than, since that could potentially mean a 100 Tera Watt laser that can shoot down missles. But our lasers are generally underrated, as if you bought a 50mW, it would say less than 50mW on the laser, but in reality, 50mW is the minimum power we guarantee on the laser, this holds true for every model we have.

Best Regards
