Hello everyone, i'm new here, i found out this website while googling for a good laser.

Anyway, i'm trying to find a good laser that can pop a balloon, light a match stick or able to see it in the sky etc...

It doesn't matter what colour it is as long as it's cheap and reliable

My budget is from SGD$100 - SGD$300

(Just one question, what's the difference between the colours? I see prices may vary depending on the colours, like red is the cheapest?)

I'm from Singapore and hopefully i can find one here so that i don't need to have it shipped to Singapore.

Any recommendation will be appreciated, thank you for viewing my thread!

(P.S, Sorry if i posted in the wrong section)

That will only be good if you want it for burning. Red is terrible for beam visibility.

Which color is the best for beam visibility?
I noticed the price is different for different colors

Green.

I dont reccomend wicklasers/dragonlasers and those, they are overpriced. I suggest rayfoss.com or o-like.com . I really like rayfoss. For 300 you could get a pretty nifty laser.

Green is the best for visibility. Red is a lot cheaper per mw, but the visibility sucks compared to green.

About 100mw of well focused light will light a match or pop balloons. My X100 rated at 109mw average 139mw peak can do it.
