So after having my order cancelled for a sub $50 laser at DX that burnt matches i looked elsewhere. I bought this 200mW high power Green Laser Higher power
laser which is definitely has a decent beam that goes a lot further than my 5mw pen flash drive laser.

I tried burning plastic that i colored with a marker and it did do it but took a lot longer and was not as cleanly as the youtube videos. Definitely does not burn the match even after i markered it. I also noticed that the beam is big when i press the button but then gets smaller pretty quick.

I checked the websites on this forum but they are a bit pricey for me.

I am basically looking for a sub $50 laser that i can burn matches with relatively easily that are say 5 yards away.

If the DX lasers do that, i will pay somebody extra to order it for me and ship to me :) If this is not allowed on the forums i apologize :(

In the meantime i will continue to search online and these forums

update i found my laser for almost double http://www.rayfoss.com/productn.asp?ArticleID=6 and its an exact replica except mine said it was 200mw

I would stay away from O-like these days... Have you tried focusing the laser with a lens? Most of the time a laser won't burn unless it's focused.
