Laser for EDC

[Nimravus]

Hey gents not super familiar with lasers but here is what I am looking for.

A laser pointer that can be used for astronomy classes in urban setting but that will not be to bright for rural use in same application. Also a laser that will be bright enough to point out various things inside a well lit Museum. Say Aircraft features and the sort.

Some thing with momentary on/off would be ok but a click on/off with constant on would be possibly better. All this for under $100

I was looking at the Wickedlasers CORE 5mW since they seem to claim actual 5mW constant output. Anything else out there closer to my specs with the power to be bright enough in urban light.

Batts can use AAA or CR/RCR123

Thanks guys.

Don't go with wickedlasers, over hyped overpriced lasers. Anywhere else. I'd honestly go with whatever is cheapest since you are only looking for 5mw.

I'd suggest either Atlasnova's Green Laser with APC, the APC keeps output around 5mW:

Or Laserglow's Lyra/Galileo series - they test their lasers for output as close to 5mW as possible. The Galileo has a reverse-clicky switch and 100% duty cycle due to it's little heatsink:
