So, I've been into lasers for a while, and I've come to know that yellow lasers are usually very expensive, due to the odd wavelength I believe, I may be mistaken, but that's besides the point.
I just wanted to know what the cheapest price I could get a yellow laser is, anything 5mw or more would do.

:thanks:

Darn looks like I missed out on that one too. Anyone know where I can get a 5+/-mw for under $300?

It's not rated 5 mW but all the first batch were >5mW , these are rated >1 mW Sorry if you are insisting it be "Rated >5 mW" ;) -Glenn

Gotcha - Rating doesn't matter so much to me actually (not sure about OP). With these CNI GBs, what's the turnaround like? I'm moving in about a month, so I think it might be ill-advised for me to jump in on one right now. (I actually haven't received my WL green yet either - so I'm guessing it will be months before the CNI GB completes?)

I'm now looking for one again. Current budget is $200 for this.

That's not going to happen unless someone offers one used.
589nm and 593.5nm start at around ~$500 for 5mW.

I don't mind a used one, and also, I don't mind Rated 1mw that is actually >3mw.

If you can find someone willing to sell theirs, that will be your best deal.
I considered selling mine before but there wasn't much interest at the time and I have changed my mind since. 589nm is awesome.

Also, Dragon Lasers is selling their 5mW "Spartan" for ~$400 IIRC.
It's the lowest price for a >5mW unit I know of, but it is a large host for such low power.

green will be as it is the closest to 555nm which is in the center of the spectrum.
