Looking to buy a 1.5w + 445nm

First things first... I've read a lot of posts where people are buying/selling and I see that people feel that it's irresponsible to sell to "new" members with low post count.

I personally own 2 green lasers, >100mW and >150mW (Both purchased from ebay over a year ago)

I am now looking to get a blue one, and I want a really high powered one because I want the beam to be decently visible in a lit room, and the burning power also intrigues me.

I know proper laser safety, and I own (and use) goggles whenever I use my lasers.


Now to the point. I have about $300 to spend on this (Would prefer not to spend over 150-250, but I will if it seems like a good deal). I want a high quality laser, but it doesn't have to be perfect... just something that will supply the power I want and last a long time.

I do not care if it's been used, or if it's brand new.

It has to be reasonably small. I don't want to be walking around with a mag lite sized laser like I've seen on a few websites.

I live in the US. (Florida)

There you go dude. Ask him for goggles and obey the duty cycle.
He's in Florida too BTW.

Thank you, but honestly that's just a bit too expensive for me right now. Don't want to spend any more than $300 on this.

Re: Looking to buy a 1w + blue laser

Pm him tell him you only have 300 bucks to spend. See if he will build one with a less expensive diode and lense. Perhaps a 3 Element lense with an M-140 diode. He's asking 330 for a build with the higher end 9mm diode outputting 2.5W negotiate man.

Edit: BTW your also getting batteries, a charger, goggles, and a lens protector.

Re: Looking to buy a 1w + blue laser

I got an offer someone is building a 1.8w 445 and if I am still looking for one when he's done he'll sell it to me (With batteries and charger) for under 200.

I'm looking for a good deal, not a quick buy.

Re: Looking to buy a 1w + blue laser

Hey bud, its all about what parts are going into these things and what wavelength/power is coming out of em. If you found a better deal go for it but this is in no way a bad deal. Pm Danefex hes also a great builder he's in the buy, sell, trade section. I'm sure you can find something...

thanks man I appreciate the help.

I'm looking through the b/s/t section right now looking for a good deal on a 1.5w+ laser.

The more I look, the better the deals are. So I'm just gonna keep looking, or let someone post here with one.

Re: Looking to buy a 1w + blue laser

Be sure to post pics man.

Re: Looking to buy a 1w + blue laser

I have a nice little blue laser for sale. 1.2W - more than enough power for burning, and it's about half of your budget. If you need goggles, battery & charger just add $20.

The beauty of this little guy is, it's a lot of power in a very small package, and with modes, you can also run it for a decent amount of time.

I forgot... for this laser I will provide battery regardless. You just don't want a cheap xxxxfire in there. So add $10 if you need goggles

I'm going to sleep now but PM me and I'll reply asap.

Re: Looking to buy a 1w + blue laser

As of right now someone has a better offer. I don't need the modes.

Thank you though.
