I used X Series before, after a long time, i sold it. Now maybe i want something different, is alpha too big ? What is the difference between X and Alpha ? Which one would you buy ?

Thanks so much for suggestions.

Edit: One more last question, Which laser would you buy if you have 150-200$ ?

Which one would you buy ?

the one with more power!!! :D

One more last question, Which laser would you buy if you have 150-200$ ?

if i had that money to spend i would buy either this:

Gatlin 200mW green laser /waterproof &adjustable /good heatsink [OLGT200] - $189.00 : O-Like, Quality Products, Great Prices

or

www.rayfoss.com

both are excellent lasers with great heatsinking from reputable companies :D

Re: Nova X75 or Nova Alpha65 ? Which one would you buy ?

shipping is 6$ worldwide but i would email susie (owner of o-like) and ask her to ship the batteries seperately just incase of customs, although ive never heard of a laser being seized by customs that was sent from o-like, or rayfoss for that matter

it uses a CR123A lithium rechargable battery, dont think the charger for the battery is included but its only 6$ on their site, not including shipping.

Charger for rechargeable CR123A battery [OLCR123A] - $6.00 : O-Like, Quality Products, Great Prices

maybe you can search on ebay for a better deal?

also with lasers that powerful i would reccommend using these safety goggles

532nm,473nm,405nm laser goggles [OLSG532] - $19.99 : O-Like, Quality Products, Great Prices

you only have 2 eyes, so protect them!

dont hesitate to ask any questions, i will gladly answer them for you!

Stuart ! You are great ! Thank you so much for detailed answers, they are very helpful for me.

Most important thing for me is that; You know at Nova there are diffraction gratings like this one DG Mega Matrix - Optics - Novalasers Inc. and this one DG Liquid Fan - Optics - Novalasers Inc..

I love them. But i know they won't fit this Hatlin Laser, maybe if put it in front of beam, it will give the same effect ? Right ? Are there any diffraction gratings at o-like ?

Thank you a million times.

And sorry for my awful english.

Re: Nova X75 or Nova Alpha65 ? Which one would you buy ?

Just my $00.02, but I had a NOVALASERS ALPHA 100 that I just sold recently, (I miss it). It was a GREAT laser that consistently put out OVER 125mW's average. It's well made, with great diversion. It also has FDA safety features built into it, & comes in a sweet, ALUMINUM, padded box. While I owned it, it was one of my FAVORITE LASERS, & if I didn't need the $$$ at the time, I would STILL own it. rob PS, Your English is just fine. As a matter of fact, it's better than some of the Members that post here, (including me, lol)

NOVA, hands down.
Great quality, fast shipping, and responsive customer support.
Plus, you get a 5% discount when you use the forum coupon code "WARP5."

If you would like diffraction gratings, try this:
Diffraction Grating Film Sheets

These are cheap and gives you plenty to work with.

no problem mate! glad to help.

yes diffraction gratings do not have to be mounted inside the laser you can simply place it infront of the laser.

yes diffraction gratings are sold at o-like: http://o-like.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=27

also thankyou for the +rep!

p.s. your english is fine, as rob (phoenix77) stated, better than some members here.

have a great day!

stuart :)

$00.02 more cents from me. I ordered the 2 DIFFRACTION GRATINGS that I wanted from DRAGON LASERS. They were $11.00 & change for each one, but well worth the cost. They are made of HEAVY GLASS & are about 2" X 4" & about 1/4 " thick. VERY DURABLE, as I've dropped mine several times & they didn't even chip on the edges, let alone crack across the entire plane of the GRATING. Hope this helps you to decide. rob
