First of all, let me thank all of you in advance for caring about laser safety. I'm aware of the danger high powered lasers pose and intend to purchase a pair of glasses to combat this.

Now, a bit about my intentions: I've wanted to get a high power green laser (100-150mW is just right for me) for quite a long time, but have never done it due to monetary and feasibility impediments. I've had many terrible lasers in the past (think walmart and ebay) and want to finally have a decent green one.

Now, my question: What exactly would you recommend purchasing in order to BUILD and ASSEMBLE a 150mW green laser?

All I know is that I need the glasses, a 150mW diode, module, housing, switch?, battery, heatsink?, and obviously a soldering iron and the skills to operate one (not a problem).
