Hi guys, im new to lasers, I know very very little about them. So I need some advice.
I want to purchase 2 laser pointers:
1. Want it to be red laser, Small, lightweight, low powered, takes normal batteries(Like AAA, AA, C, D or CR123,ive seen lots of lasers that seem to take 18650 or 1650 or some type of battery I have never even herd of) this will be used as a toy to play with the cats and other mudane uses. Must be 100% safe and cause no harm to cats eyes or human eyes for that matter, max range of 100-200 feet totally acceptable. Budget for this one less than $100. Bonus points if its rugged durable and waterproof.
2. Color whatever you guys suggest is fine. High powered useful for long range use, pointing to sky to be able to easily point out constellations so would have to be a beam visable type of laser. Ability to Light things on fire would be a bonus cause that's really cool. This would NOT be used as a toy and I would be careful with it so it can be harmful as I would be careful with it(will purchase appropriate eye protection). Long duty cycle important, so high heatsinking would be a plus. Would prefer it to be waterproof. Battery type not so important for this one(willing to purchase charger/batteries just for this if needed). If you guys know flashlights Think the surefire of laser pointers is what im looking for here. Budget $300.
