Those probably output anywhere from 15mW-50mW. Big rip off. A 200mW 532nm wouldn't function properly in such a small host, no heatsinking... Powered by AAA's also!

I can pretty much promise you it's not 200mW. It doesn't even have a focus adapter, you can't really burn when the beam is set to infinity. You have this exact laser and it burns...?

That's surprising. Even 100mW Green lasers go above 50$ usually...
