Does Any One Own A 125mW Dragon laser? Because I Have A 15mW Green Laser From WL And It Cool But Its Not Enough. So I Want To Buy A More Powerful One That Can Burn And Was Wondering If That Was A Good Decision?

A couple of folks just got in some DL's and are very happy with them ! It all depends on your price range ! Take a peek at some of the posts, and read a bit - there are some excellent reviews of different products on here, from lots of smart folks. Ask plenty of questions BEFORE you buy, so you do not get into anything you will regret later. I bought a HUGE 808nm diode array, and it ended up sitting around collecting dust - so I just put it up on Ebay :'( It was an impulse buy - I thought I was gonna slap some crystals in front of it, and get some awesome multiple WATT green outta it - but it is a little bit harder than just that - so I scraped my "project" in favor of others...

I have a 125mw Dragon laser and it's brilliant for such a small pen size object in your pocket popping balloons lighting matches, cutting electrical tape it's a little bit of fun. Not to mention when used outside as a starpointer it's like a lightsaber reaching to the stars... :cool:

I have a 100mw freak pulsar that pops balloon at 40+ feet
I have a 125mw Dragon laser (THE GREEN BEAST :cool:)
And finally i have a black wicked lasers fusion very good beam but crap at burning stuff unless you have an external lens.
My next laser will be a Lucent 100mw. I've had load of other lasers in the past and have been an enthusiast for about 20 years now. :cool:

Is the pulsar worth it? Can you see the beam clearly in the night? Or in the day? Can it light matches and melts things?

If you have pictures can you post them?

100mw Pulsar: It's visible only on really dark nights, smoky rooms and foggy nights, it can light matches with the aid of a lens and melt plastic the same way too. But long distance popping of balloons is it's favourite by far i can pop balloons at 40 feet plus with ease. :)

What kinds make the beam stronger??

I just made them from an old camera lens and a piece of plastic tubing, But a magnifying glass will do the trick nicely.
