The LONGER Ray5 5W is a diode laser engraver aimed at hobbyists and small-scale creators. It features a 3.5-inch touchscreen for offline operation, a working area around 400×400 mm, and a very fine laser spot size of ~0.08 × 0.08 mm for detailed engraving. The machine supports multiple connection modes (USB, WiFi, TF card) and is compatible with common software like LaserGRBL and LightBurn.

In practice, it provides solid engraving performance on wood, acrylic, leather, and some coated metals (marking, not deep engraving). Assembly is straightforward, and the completed unit offers good rigidity and stable motion. However, it is not ideal for heavy-duty cutting or metal work, safety features (like flame detection) are not always reliable, and ventilation is crucial because of smoke and fumes generated during use.
