Um... the fact you mentioned "5mW" it most likely isn't worth $59.
But that considering the wavelength's of 532nm, 650nm, 450nm.
It may be worth it, if they are wavelegnth's of 520nm, 500nm or any "rare" wavelengths. Do you have a link maybe?

Hmmmm, in my opinion it isn't worth $49 for only a 5mW seeing it has a wavelength of 532nm(pretty common).
But, what do you want to do with this anyway? If it's just to burn stuff, get a Ebay on and pot-mod it.
Warning: If you ever get a Ebay Laser, get goggles. You never know about those things, they most likely have a shitload of IR leaking out)

The Lyra is a great pointer for example for using in classes.
It´s one of the few true <5mW 532nm pointers out there.
A few of us have it: http://laserpointerforums.com/f55/order-gb-laserglow-pointers-64200.html#post919707
Very stable in output!

Depends on what is $49 worth to you.
Laserglow is well regarded in this forum.
Being a laserglow product, if they say it is 5mW, it WILL be 5mW of green light. It also has IR filtering, better lenses and APC (Auto power control) so it will have a stable output.
If you want cheap, go ahead and buy the $5 ebay pens which put out more IR than 532nm light and the output brightness fluctuates even if you just cross your eyes or look at it funny.
note: I'm not affiliated with Laserglow. Just putting all the info on the table for the OP to make a better decision for what is his intended use (which he did not mention)

Congrats on this laser! I like mine a lot.
Take care not to double/triple post and use the EDIT button

Glad you like it! We know that our 5 mW pointers are more expensive than some, but we also know that our pointers are of the best possible quality and we totally stand behind our products. We appreciate your positive review!
