LEDShoppe actually took my advice and got blue-violet lasers. Did anyone buy them and have a review? 405nm 50mW Blue Violet Laser Pointer Pen US$24.99 only
Just received both 532nm and 405nm (both in 50mW) today from this source if anyone is curious about beam pictures or has questions.
Guys: Like most of you, I've only had very positive experiences with LED Shoppe. I've purchased the 50mW (silver pen) and 20mW (keychain) green lasers and they work great. I was really surprised when they got the blue-violet laser so when I saw how cheap it was, I was skeptical as well...that said, I've always gotten great deals from LED Shoppe in the past with the greenies and was pleasantly surprised, so I decided to try it out with the blue-violet <50mW (just ordered two days ago, along with another 50mW greenie) . I'll let you know how it works out, although I'm pretty sure I'll be quite happy
