Hey there guys! Glad to finally get around to registering here at LPF..been reading this place for awhile, and it's such a great forum,
Moreover to the point, hollidays are rolling around, as well as my birthday (it's nice having one close to Christmas!), and I decided to "wish" for lasers this year.
I say lasers, because I want two. One that I can burn with, and another that I can actually use safely and bring with me to places.
With that in mind, I've decided on the wattage (and color), two greens at 200mW and 5mW. Now the only part is to find them, and this is where I'd appreciate your guys' advice.
I found two different lasers on Lazerer.com . I used Lazerer because of the recommendations on this forum, as I've read (and their website states) that the company power tests all lasers before shipping.
RIFLE532nm - 200mW Focusable Burning Green Laser
LZCB - 532nm 200mW Focusable Green Laser Pointer
The first one, the Rifle, seems to have a better host, and is available to upgrade to the Deluxe package, which is excellent as I will need a batter/charger/eyewear, and the projector heads are a nice bonus.
As for the 5mW, I found this one on Rayfoss.com;
5mW Green
It doesn't seem bad, and I'm not looking for a bulky host for this particular wattage.
My main question concerning the 5mW laser is whether or not the beam is particularly visible at night.
What do you guys think? Have I chosen well?
Thanks in advance!
