Hey there,
I was wondering what's the lowest price you can get for green lasers?
I need to get at least 6 lasers for an installation and the lowest price point for green lasers seems to be $20. Seeing that I don't know a thing about lasers, $120 is a bit too big of an investment. The thing is I need the laser beam to be visible, and according to my (rather humble) research, I need at least 5mw/532nm lasers.
Is there a green laser diode or module (it seems there aren't any green laser diodes commercially available yet, is that correct?) that sells for 10 bucks or less? I don't need a portable laser pen, as the laser will be built into an installation, so just the diode would be fine.
alternatively, is there a cheaper method to get a visible beam? I know red laser beams are visible in fog, but a fog machine seems a bit unrealistic.
thanks for reading/helping!
