where can an american order highpowered green laser pointers?

hey i was wondering where i could buy a nice new green laser pointer, for around $50-100 with output of true >100mw, and have it shipped to the US without customs destroying it.

as always, thanks for your help!

By official decree, (FDA and CDRC laws), there are no legal high power laser pointers in the USA, only <5 mW is a legal pointer. You may want laser modules or portable lasers, which are not legal to use for pointing in non-private settings.

If you want to do responsible experimenting with high power lasers, and are equipped with or gearing up with goggles, I can get CNI fully FDA compliant lasers or suggest other laser OEM modules, (at lower than typical distributor costs btw) -Glenn

I have a 120mW green module in a nice KD50 host, actual graphed average output is 118mW, lights matches, pops ballons, etc very quickly, uses a single CR2 photo-lithium battery (easy to find anywhere batteries are sold as in Wal-Mart, Menards, Home Depot, etc) - shipped with case in the USA for $125 (the module alone is $110 through O-like) - The laser is in "as new" condition and includes power graph, instructions, etc - It's a little over your budget, I realize, but it's a really nice, stable laser and would be a great start to your "mid-powered" collection. PM me if interested and I can send pix, etc. (ships same day payment is recieved from US)

This may be slightly over your price range, but this will guartantee that you are a happy man. There's nothing more disappointing than to put your hard earned money down on something the ends up to be not-as-advertised, which happens a lot in this hobby (present company excluded of course...).
