Hi, ive recently been getting into lasers and im looking to purchase one for astronomy/general use. The allure of violet lasers is something i cant describe.. ever since i saw one i wanted one! I am finally down to 2 affordable lasers but i cant decide which one is better, so obviously im turning to people more knowledgeable then myself. The 2 choices are LZCS - Classic 405nm 100mW Focusable Violet Laser Pointer and Devil Cyber 405nm - 100mW Focusable Violet Laser Pointer respectively, i am also wondering if a laser of that power could light weed, weird question i know but it would just be an added bonus.

Those are relatively low-priced, but also low-powered. You should look into a 1W+ 445nm, you can get one for around 100$ here on the forums! It will be better quality that these Lazerer lasers.

445nm is strong, burning and inexpensive!

I bought one of those 445nm 2000mW builds from BLord. It rocks. But it is way, way too bright to operate without safety goggles. Refer to the link in my signature for some $10 goggle on Amazon that are decent.

There are lower power greenies that burn, too. Don't buy a Ducati when a Honda will do. ;)

Thanks, ive actually been looking into one of his 1W builds. Very high power but beautiful. And of course i would be wearing goggles! no reason to ruin your eyes for a bit of fun.
