A mother of a kid I know he's around 10 or 11 wanted me to get him a laser for his b-day and he wanted blue so I got him a 405nm off of ebay and now his little brother is jealous :p and he wants a green one. His mother doesn't want him to know she is buying it for him so she gave me the money to get one. Considering he is young I don't want to give him anything over 5mw. And he wants green. His mother gave me 11 bucks so thats what i got to spend on it. I don't really want to get it on ebay again cause i don't enjoy the risk it includes so let me know what u got.

The 405's are ALWAYS overspec... 5mW of 405nm is very dim. Usually they start out in the 30mW range, but can go up to ~90mW.

Be careful with eBay!
Most "green" 532nm on eBay I've ran into are overspec & won't have an IR filter.
IR will be much higher, and you wont know till its too late.
