I have been looking for a new green laser lately and I stumbled across these three sites,

Amazon.com: 50mw 532nm Astronomy Powerful Green Laser Pointer: Electronics

532nm Green Laser Pointer Pen 50mW
http://www.ledshoppe.com/Product/ledp/LP1076.htm

Pocket compact Green laser 50mW [OLPG50] - $28.00 : Welcome to O-Like.com, Your source for laser products

Does anyone have any experience with any of these sites or maybe bought the same product and can tell me how they are?

Also if anyone knows are they all strict on sending to the US due to the FDA regulation? (as I heard some sites still did).

Thanks
Or if you have any other sites where you have bought similar ones post them

O-like is well spoken of all over the forum, we also have builders here who can make you a great laser.

It is only illegal to sell Handheld lasers over 5 mw without safety like a key lock or something, well buying the module is not illegal. It is considered an "electrical component" like if you buy a taser, its dangerous but if you buy transformers and diodes and capacitors, You must be a professional to know what you are doing. No ordinary kid can make a taser out of that.

Do not buy the 50mW from amazon, i own one from when i first got into lasers and it is grossly underspec, more like 15mW and it comes on bright and dims a sec later to almost 5mW or less, and the seller 'super deal' has no idea what he is selling. i belive it may have even been pot modded cuz when i tried to mod it it got dimmer not brighter so i had to turn it down and its about were it was when i got it.

I have heard good things about the ledshoppe 50mw and O-like is generally good too. I don't know about amazon.

I just told you about amazon, if you dont want to belive me go buy the laser and get it tested and see for yourself i guarantee you it will be no higher than 20mW. and the laser isnt even legal(at 50mW) in the usa so that tells you there that is a scam because amazon would never sell anything over 5mW

EDIT: my apologies, i was a little edgy when i posted this, i dont mean to force my advice on others and if someone chooses to disregard my advice i would have no problem with that whatsoever. again sorry for the hostility it was not justifed

Mr Grokken, in my humble opinion, try the Ledshoppe 50 mW. No shipping hassles & from my untrained eyes all that I've bought and sold seem to be as bright if not brighter than other competitors similar offerings, some claiming to be 100 mW. MR

Actually, you can't go wrong with Wicked Lasers. They sell expensive but high quality lasers.

Actually you can go very wrong with WL, i bought from them and they didnt even have the laser steve sold me and had no idea when it would be in, finally got my money back from him and he offered me a cred for the mishap and now wont honor it. they may have changed there rep about underspec lasers but customer service still sucks(in my personal opinion from personal exp.) your thinking about WL forget about them and buy from DL there cheaper with nicer quality products that look way better and they actually care if there customers are satisfied. and there is no point buying one of these high quality pointers in anything under 95mW, anything lower can be gotten from rayfoss or o-like so much cheaper and will work great.
good luck!
Dave
