BigLasers 5mW Yellow

Hey, I was wondering if you guys think this is a rip-off or not?

http://www.biglasers.com/site/1589403/page/664887

It is a 5mW yellow laser pointer. I have never seen a yellow with this much power, but is it really worth it or should I just get a 2mW?

It looks legit too me, looks like the same thing they sell at laserglow.com , yellow lasers will not appear quite as bright as green lasers of the smae power (although the differance is not great), what do you want to use the laser for?

Its legit. I believe laserglow generally has better prices than biglasers though.

CNI makes these as >5mW 593.5nm PGL models, but the price is far from cheap. If you plan on getting a yellow, unless you have a specific purpose, you might as well just get a pointer one as these lasers are generally useless except for novelty. (Green has the advantage of high visibility per $, blue is needed for RGB, red and IR are cheap for burning, etc, but yellow is only something to set you apart from others).

If you are interested in either yellow laser, you might want to send me an e-mail first at pseudonomen137@gmail.com as I MIGHT (depending on if I have spares at the moment) be able to get you one cheaper than at either of those places.

yellow is awesome, and i am supprised at how little of a diffrence between green and yellw there acually is.

i see no need for it to be all beefed up like that, keys and all i mean, if its under 5mW. the fda only requilres that for 5mW+ lasers.

check www.laserglow.com they have a 10mW yellow about as much as that, or contact pseudomen ;D

Thanks for the help. I think I'm just going to get one from LaserGlow.

be sure to get us some pics

Yeah, I actually just went and checked out laserglow prices, and the prices I get, and for some reason laserglow seems to sell the yellows very cheap relatively. Whereas I can get pretty good deals on the green lasers, I can barely beat laserglows price on the yellow pointers, and I'm not even sure I could beat their price on the >2mW models. Maybe a lot of it is premium that is reduced in bulk purchase... Anyways, as tommy said, we'd love to see pics of a >2mW yellow laser

I wouldn't mind a yellow laser, it looks quite bright. Well yours does anyway tommygreen, where did you get it from?

i got it used form someone, but its just a 2mW yellow from laserglow. i love it, its my favorite laser

that really resembles the hercules because of the front end... but 850 bucks! do all yellows cost that much?!?!

Take PICS!!!!!!!
