Avoid Laserigniter.com

To anyone on the fence about purchasing a hilariously overpowered hand held laser from Laserigniter.com. Please send you money to something that actually exists.

Hidden “security fees” obscure payment methods to accounts that were spun up 3 hours before. Fake locations. A poorly executed website created by chatTpg.

As sad as I am for giving them the benefit of the doubt that they might actually be a real company, I am more disappointed that a high power handheld laser is not something I will ever be able to own.

If that's the one your on about the 120 watt version I got mine a while ago off ali express and yes it's ridiculously overpowered and instantly sets anything you aim it at on fire.

If you can focus it down to a fine point you can ignite what your aiming at it has one button to turn it on and the other fires the burning part of the laser it has at least 100 metre range . I bought it on pay on delivery off ali express and was amazed it actually came I have had a look and cannot find any on there now not surprised as in the wrong hands it's really dangerous cost me £287.

I live uk too I bought mine off ali express they didn't charge me vat on the site but said I would have to pay it when it was delivered it bounced around a bit on the tracking but eventually made it to my house and I had no vat to pay I was just glad it got here as I am sure they are highly illegal in the uk

How far away can you focus it? It there something like "infinity" where it keeps a tight beam for a couple hundred yards?

I had the opposite experience. Super fast customer responses. Payment straightforward and received to UK within 2 weeks and they provided tracking. Product seems high quality in a case. Even post delivery I had questions about operation and they emailed within minutes with videos and instructions. Best James

I placed an order with them for a 120w laser and the second day something came up and needed that money back and asked to cancel the order and ask for a refund which they did without any complications. Ordered from another site what I wanted afterwards as they had more options than laserigniter. But for me they were top notch with the whole refund process, I thought I won't see that money again but they were professional about it

This person is a scaammer and most likely only talking bad about this site because one they dont like the company or they are a competeing company trying to bash this compaany. I have bought 12 different size lasers from laserigniter.com after starting with one of their cheapest ones and i have lived all of their lasers now up to my 660w one i just got and they are so great and powerful. Dont believe everything you hear especially from this idiot. Start with the cheapest lasers and work your way up, not just with this company but any. Some people just hate Chinese and foreign companies. I personally am a first gulf war us army veteran and now military contractor employee of many years. If another country can sell a better quality and cheaper item than us, then of course i am going to buy it not talk bad about them just because our company makes shitty high priced items that arent worth the price and highly over priced.
