Hey guys I'm a complete newb when it comes to lasers and I'm kind of overwhelmed trying to pick out a green laser pointer. I'm just looking for a green laser for recreational use and that would be safe to use without goggles. Something relatively cheap (under $50) and reliable. I tried googling and I only came up with wicked lasers but that company seems to have a terrible reputation here. So if you guys could recommend to me some green lasers from reputable companies, I would be grateful. Also I would like to know what power laser would be ideal for use without goggles. Thank you.

Actually a 50 mW laser can be dangerous if used indoors and without safety glasses. I would not recommend a laser power exceeding 5 mW for a purpose like this

So what would be a decent 5mW laser? Is the Wicked Laser Core any good? I also checked out a real cheap laser pen at ledshoppe that was like $10 but not sure how good those are. Id rather pay alittle more for a laser that wont die on me in a few days. Thanks.
