Hi all, I am thinking about buying a new Laser.
I am thinking of an blue 473nm or a 589nm laser. Both colors are amazing but I don't know which I should finnaly get.

20mW 473nm vs. 5mW 589nm from CNI

What would you say? My favorite would be the yellow one. It is visible like an 532, isn't it?
But the 473 is so cool too ..

I have got an 447nm laser already, is there a huge difference between 473 nm?
I am going to bouild an R/G one, is there a difference to the 589 noticable?

The difference between 447nm and 473nm is VERY noticeable. 473nm is a much lighter blue.

Can't help you with your second question though, I've got a projector that can do RG, but not a 589nm pointer.
