Looking for a low mw greenie

[Secur1]

Hi ppl

So far i've had my fair share of crappy cheap red lasers in many shapes and sizes, mainly using small "pill" cells in series 3-4.

Now i am looking for a green one, that will not cost too much (max price about $50) and will not need special IR gogles to operate.
Preferably using 1xAA or 2xAAA cells.

I've seen the one's over at DX and Kaidomain but i am having some reservations about pulling the trigger since being a laser it can malfunction in a very bad way...

Main use is going to be for presentations in seminars and messing around just for the fun of it
I am not looking for something that will burn stuff as i know they are pretty expensive and require extra protective gear to operate safely.

Also please advice on a reputable online dealer to make the purchase from.

Thanks in advance,

John

That one is probably quite good. The Lyra 5 from www.laserglow.com should also be great but is a bit more expensive.

For $50, I would suggest just getting 2 of the Deal extreme New Wish 5mw models.
I have one and it has been a champ on AAA nimh rechargeable batteries, alkalines, and it's even brighter on AAA Energizer lithium batteries with no issues to report yet.
Bright enough to see without burning a hole in anything. :laughing:
Plus it comes in a nice jewel case.
It takes about 2 weeks to arrive though.
That was the main issue I had, but it was worth it imho.

Optotronics 4.99mW guaranteed, $53 shipped. 2xAAA.

I've never used a green laser before, but Optotronics is a reputable company and this is the pointer I will buy if I decide to not get this 95 mW or this 100mW.

I recently got the Deal Extreme 5mw green laser and I am very impressed. You will not believe the build quality for $17. It is solid and one of the best deals you will ever find.

I was just using it in my basement and it blows everyone away when they see it.

I think ww.laserpointer.com has one made by Wicked Lasers for less than 50 bucks...

I just purchased one - for CPF sakes of course.
I'll perform spectroscopy and power output measurements of it immediately upon receipt.

I think that this one http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.469 could be a good deal and the output of 30mW should be true. But dunno, does anyone have this one?
