Green laser <$100?

[carrot]

Anyone know of a green laser retailing under $100 that uses either AAA, AA, or CR123A cells?

And another question, if I should choose to get a 15mW Wicked Laser, are goggles a necessity?

1) just about any leadlight - 2x AAA

2) I recommend them for you.

goggles wouldn't be a necessity,
but they'd be good if you want protection...

Another vote for Atlasnova! They're honest folks and they've treated me well.

You might also look at the Novophone Green Laser Pointer. It uses a single CR123A cell; and is the first laser pointer I've encountered that uses that battery type.

P.S.
For lasers of CDRH Class IIIb (5mW to 499mW), safety goggles are highly recommended; though not absolutely necessary.
Just avoid shooting it at any specular (reflective) surface, such as mirrors, windows, CRT boob tubes, silverware, glassware, etc.
