    @Ash What would you say would be the best choice or the website you prefer out of CNI, Novalasers, etc.....( all the websites you posted that you said were good) EDIT:My rayfoss 50mw that i ordered feels nice in the hand.

    Best Rayfoss Laser?

    Might be a little late of a response(sorry!) but I ordered the 532nm 50mw FLX model. It is fantastic! It feels high quality and works well. A tip for that laser(and similar ones). Keep the lens cover closed when not in use. I got some dirt in it on accident and cleaning it has been tough( it...

    Green 50mw vs blue/violet100mw

    I do not own a blue or violet laser. One thing I do know is that the human eye is not as receptive to that color as green is. pardon me if there is a similar thread about this as I couldn't find anything. What would be the comparison between a 50mw green laser( I own the FLX model from...

    Line Thru Dot and "dust" around dot

    Got it! The alcohol is just what i needed! It is not perfect but the line is gone and almost all of the "dust" is gone!. Thank you! A dry q tip only made it worse but with the alcohol it is now almost back to the way it was! maybe a bit of compressed air will help to clean it up more! Thanks for...

    Line Thru Dot and "dust" around dot

    The only problem is that my laser has a really small opening. A q-tip barely fits in it but even then i have to peel off some of the cotton from the q-tip for it to fit. and my laser is only 50mw. All it can do is smoke things unless its a match or something flammable. The tape I put over it was...

    Line Thru Dot and "dust" around dot

    I don't know how to upload a picture onto the forums(i have a good shot of what im refering to) but it was a perfect green dot when i first received it. I put a peice of tape over the front to burn the tape and after that it had some "dust" around the dot( probably debree from the tape. Then...

    Line Thru Dot and "dust" around dot

    Ok, I fear that i will have to send back the laser for repair as I may have permanently scratched the lens with the q-tip. I'm just pretty mad as I only received the laser like 4 days ago!

    Line Thru Dot and "dust" around dot

    I will have to get some compressed air and try that. The Line is part of the dot. Im not seeing how to post a picture directly from my computer. Help me with that? all i see is how to post one from a web page..... Oh and excuse me as I'm new to this but what is TEM01 ?

    Line Thru Dot and "dust" around dot

    I recently received a green 50mw FLX from rayfoss. it worked great but today i noticed there was "dust" around the dot which was not there before. I looked it up and a q-tip was suggested many times as a solution. Now i have a large line going thru the dot!!:eek: I haven't had the...

    Thanks for the help chipdouglas! :) I don't want this to come across the wrong way but I'm here because im new to lasers. I know about basic safety but i just didn't know how much- if at all- it would hurt my eyes by looking at the dot. I know my questions probably sound dumb because you've been...

    Thanks everyone for the answers! (especially Mo13 :D ) My laser just arrived from rayfoss today and it is great! I also just ordered 3 pairs of green laser safety glasses from focal price as the glasses had good reviews and they were cheap. (extras for others if they are watching and also incase...

    Thanks for the welcome! can you answer specifically? I stated I know i should get some goggles no matter what, but will I hurt my eyes just by looking at the dot on the wall? Any other answers in addition to my original post would be greatly appreciated!

    New and need some help!

    Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum and I have some questions! I just ordered the green 50mw FLX model from rayfoss. I should have it in about 5-7 days. I would like to know how important it is to have safety glasses with THIS laser(not just any laser). I know in general...
