So first off, I'm new and this is my first post.
Second, before I get into anything else, yes I know all about laser safety and using proper safety glasses and whatnot. I have 3 sets of glasses for blocking out blue/green lasers and would get ones for blocking red lasers should I order one. I have 3 sets so that if I show anyone my laser they will be protected too.
So with that out of the way, my current 50 mW green laser just died on me. Given that I paid like 30$ for it off one of those meh sites I'm not to broken up about it, but now I don't have anything over 5 mW and I want to fix that.
So the only sites I know of that have any sort of reputability are WickedLasers, O-Like, and Lazerer.
I'm ignoring WL all together because I'm only looking to spend 50-80$ at most right now.
O-Like seems pretty good, but their prices are a bit higher than Lazerer. I know a lot of people on here seem to favor O-Like, but I'm wondering if Lazerer is any good (It doesn't have to be the best built laser ever, just decent).
Just FYI I'm looking for something in the 100 mW+ power range, preferably green or blue (not violet), but if theres a decent red one out there I wouldn't mind either.
Thanks!
