Hey guys, ill be parting with my pride and joy blue soon, so im wondering to keep my laser appetite wet, whats the best red laser i can buy in the UK?

Im not talking about one of those rubbishy cat lasers u buy in the pet store that take button cells, im wanting something a bit more sturdy that takes double or triple A batteries?

Cheers! Robert

Try an ebay pen, it will be a few dollars and at least + 50 mW (most are actually closer to 150 mW). :beer:

check Amazon.com UK

There won't be much---you will need to get one from China if you want either high output power or quality

If you want high output and OK quality aat a very reasonable price, see 1000mw(1W) 660nm here: PL 660nm 100-1000

Depends what you mean by quality, what power you're looking for and how much you're willing to pay.

Odicforce are ok

If you just want to gamble and spend a little then ebay and the cheap pens are ok. The last one I got from a UK seller was a 50mW for £2.39 shipped (it said < 1mW). I call that a bargain but like all of these cheap pens I dare not have it on for more than 30 seconds at a time.
