Which 532nm laser is the best buy for $ 250?

I have Rayfoss RF-532 FLX 200mw Laser. Should be better:)

Will be more expensive, but much higher quality...

Jetlasers, Laserglow, Optotronics.

Also I'd go with lazerer over o-like.

What quality are you looking for? O-like.com and Lazerer.com are two trusted chinese sellers around here, you get lots of laser for your $, and with lazerer.com you can have a power rating sheet sent with it for a few dollars more so you know for sure your laser is preforming as-advertised. :) Hope this helps.

I suggest the Lazerer one that includes safety goggles, or buying goggles with it, these are near ClassIV powers in a handheld, very harmful reflections.

I have glasses now.

ClassIV, what is the difference? Would it not be more bright o-like 500mw?

lazerer warranty only 1 months. But o-like 6 months.

Note: sorry for english :)))

ClassIV is just any laser above 500mW, that's the accepted threshold where very small reflections are defined as hazardous. :)

Yeah, I suppose they have to make theirs a bit longer than a month since people don't actually receive their orders for over a month from them.

Generally lasers are either doa/defective from the get go, or they work and keep working just fine... it's very rare that one "develops" problems.

Keep in mind also that to take advantage of the warranty, you have to ship the laser back, which takes a while and isn't cheap. Also if the damage is due to user error (dropping, putting battery in wrong way, water damage, taking it apart and breaking it,.) than you're out of luck.

Giving warranty is not everything. Max from lazerer.com is a awesome guy giving you all the service you are needing. There is no need to argue with him if there should be a problem. He will make all his customers to be satisfited. Not the same with o-like. At least not in the near past.

Mabe they are changing now due to the concurency by lazerer.com, but you should not only look at the warranty time but the experiences people have made with both companies.

As for now for me lazerer.com rules. There you get a 100% satisfaction whereas o-like is about 70% to 30%.
