I need some for kids. My friend all have higher power greens and their kids want to play with them. I want some actual 1-5mW greens for their kids. I don't need $30 lasers though. Any good sources out there?

Thanks,

Ive ordered several of the 5mw greens from the seller QQ-tech from Amazon. I think you can get one with 5 star caps for like 12 or 13 bucks. They are pretty bright. Obviously there needs to be some no shining in eyes, at cars etc. rules. :D

Any of the suppliers from China on Ebay. I recently got one for $4.50 with free shipping. 10-day delivery time to rural midwest USA (your time will vary by supplier). Though mine seems brighter than 5mw, more like 10-20mw. (Most of the dealers even include package-tracking now too, in conjunction with USPS's tracking system, their tracking numbers work with USPS as well as their own system.)

I order lots of things from the China and Hong Kong sellers now. They've been very very reliable. Why pay a re-seller in the USA when they get them from the very same place? The Chinese dealers seem to value honor more than money, like it's a contest to see who can get the most 5-star ratings, while undercutting the prices of all others to do so. Quite frankly, I don't know how they manage to sell and ship things as inexpensive as they do. Ordered 2 lasers a few years back, one didn't work quite right. No problem, they sent a new one and didn't even want the old one back (I eventually managed to fix that one). Honor and trust, something missing from the market-place everywhere but there these days it seems. Not had even ONE bad purchase from there yet, and I've bought over a hundred odds 'n ends from those sellers. Digital measuring calipers ($3.50! couldn't believe it, accurate to .01mm across its whole travel, every time), Illuminated-reticle zoom rifle scope $19.50 (works great!) the exact same model (from stamped in number) as sold by Bushnell for $79-99 (it's where they get theirs), etc. etc.

AbramF15, do you fly one of the works of art in your avatar? I ALMOST got to ride in a ThunderbirdF-16. I took the training session, suited up and climbed in the back seat and they scrubbed the media flight due to weather. It is one of the biggest letdowns of my life. I hope I get the opportunity again someday.

Back on topic: My concern is that those pointers will be well over 5mW. I need these to actually be no more than 5mW for kids.

Be careful with the cheap ebay green, they are most of the time way over 5mW, have someone test them before shipping to you..Have to be careful, it's kids you're dealing with :)
