Since my birthday is in 6 days, I thought i'd get myself a little treat.
My first proper laser, not one of those 2 euro department store lasers. I wouldn't want it to be too strong, having a visible beam in darkness would be awesome. I dont want to pay too much but, suggest some good green lasers for a beginner. :whistle:

The O-like is a fine price, but which one? The "cute" or the compact one, and the 6 in 1 looks just fine, even the review about it is good, and the silver one looks fantastic.
I cant find anything lower than 50mw in there, how would 50mw be on my eyes, I suspect that it'd be fine as long as I dont look at the dot for long, but I heard that looking at the beam is just fine.

The FDA says anything over 5mw is potentially bad for your eyes. I just picked up one of their 50mw and I really like it. Here is my review of it if you want to check it out....i am going to post a forum version over the weekend but for now you can check it out on my site: O-like Ultrafire 50mw 532nm Review
