Laser Line light

I'm looking for a laser pointer which can project a dot or line by simply changing the lenses. I can't seem to find one. Preferably a green laser pointer with this facility but if not a red will do.



PS can you buy the line projector lenses separately?

You definately sound like a newbie. Never seen a green laser that can do that, there might be one though. www.emundoptics.com or www.anchoroptics.com

I know that green line generating lasers do exist, just looking for a laser pointer that has the same abilities

Holographic projection heads do exist for green lasers, but their performance is rather "craptactular".



This is the line generator optic from a 5-In-1 Green Laser Module I purchased on Ebay several months ago.

Your best bet is to make your own line generator lens from a short length of glass laboratory stirring rod, then affix the short piece of rod crosswise to the front of your laser pointer by any method you see fit.

Good idea Craig.

If you feel the need to use a real lens you can get cheap cylindrical lenses from surplusshed.com

I have a $20 red laser pointer I bought at Best Buy and it came with a lot of different lenses. One of them makes a line. I also have a green laser pointer and if I hold the lense over my green laser pointer it works. This might not be too much help though because you have to hold on the lense.

I know of two, but I dont have links, sorry.

A while back I bought a very small green laser level. On the front there was a textured bump, when you slid it up it projected a dot, when you pushed it down, it made a line.

Also, there are some lighters on ebay, that have built in 5 head lasers that you can turn like a revolver. One of them is a laser line.

hi all, a recent lurker and now poster..

i to need a line generator. before posting i took a cheapo laser pointer (red) and glued a piece of glass (taken from a discoBall) to the shift of an old printer servo.
lighting the laser on this gave me a wide angle of clear laser line.
but.
the line is clearly seen in night but not so i daylight. i feel that higher speed servo will give me a more visible line (correct?)
i am looking for recommendation for a different servo, better mirror (i nor any one i know work @ an optics lab), and of course better laser.
the laser should be harmless & visible in daylight without scorching leather and byproducts

thank you guys

Hi, i'm looking for an 18650 (or AA/AAA) powered laser pointer with a line output instead a point.
What possibilities do exist besides the Dragon Lasers Viper or Spartan series laser pointers with mounted Laser Line Generator?

I know that Wicked Lasers offers optics for their laser pointer, but i'm looking for someting cheaper than $100.
