I have been reading these forums and investigating the various sites to buy portable green lasers for about 3 days now. I have read a lot of the company and review forums, and I think I have narrowed my desires down to 2 options. I am torn between a Lucent envee 120 and a Nova Alpha 105. If someone can offer some experience or guidance in making this decision I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Both excellent companies and lasers... you've done your research. My personal feeling is go with Nova, but Lucent are also pretty good.

man i have the alpha 125 and i wish i had bought a less power full laser like man any thing the dot tuches smokes almost instantly..... i have wasted 50 somthing matches and countless baloons all becaus this laser is way to powerfull and and its almost blinding green beam let alone the dot
but u kno i gues i can live with it all becaus it is a really nice laser and its got a great green beam (incase you didnt notice i was being sarcastic
)but really i love my alpha 125 and with this cool focusing lense i got out of a burnt up lead light i had (ahh the good old green laser days
) i got a focal point of 2cm and the dot its self is about the size of a pen head and let me tell ya that baby burns any thing withing 2cm like its nothing i love this thing : )just my 2c

Right on, that actually helps. Now I know this sounds stupid, but whats a leadlight?
Leadlight lasers are 5mW lasers that became famous for their ability to "Pot Mod" them to much higher power levels...
Nothing like paying for a 5 mW laser and getting 30 mW out of it!!!!
The last "REAL" leadlights I have seenfor sale were sold by Senkat....though he has long since been sold out....

Looks like a nice laser. Is the 200 sec. duty cycle the minimum or maximum time you can leave it on?

max time...... why would you have to hold the laser on for atlest 200 seconds?

Ah, I thought it had a constant ON switch. I have a habit of keeping my laser on as long as possible, well within the recommended operating time of course.

200 seconds is too short period for laser show.
This thing is useless for display projects :-(
My unit has been ON for days during test run.
But it only 5mW
