Take it easy on the rub downs greenie ;) your going to polish off the paint completely ....jk

I will have to try Tmack, it may be really hard though haha.

I was thinking of maybe buying the Lyra after the Anser then the Altair and slowly get the best one they offer...

But really want the Electra...Hum...:wtf:

The anser is a nice pointer. I have an Altair too. I really liked the anser look and tighter beam tho. The Lyra is arguably the best green pointer you can buy

Wow just looked at laserbtb pens. I would go for a collection of 80 mw pens. Led indicators, key switches , they have very nice pens. Grab some tripods .

Or even the 5mw would make a great set. That way you could have the 515 too. All 5mw
638-532-515-450-405 all 5 mw. All very nice pens with all the bells and whistles, much better price.

I was going to order from them....are they really great quality? But aren't they located in China and they are currently in holiday? 515 would be awesome!

Just help me guys :wtf: So many choices....If I am going with Laserbtb im getting their 405nm first.

Actually their 650nm is cheaper....I might get that one first.\

Edit: Wowowowoww...

IR filter installed 0 Kg
$ 1.57

You have to pay extra to get a IR filtered installed? What is this?

Other Edit: I would really love LG's Platinum 5mW unit, it looks beautiful...I may actually want to save up for that right now...what do you all think? This seems to be the best 5mW 532nm you can own...

Laserbtb packs a punch for the price... but they aren't considered a "top notch" company. They have good products, but they aren't aimed like CNI or LG are

Do they provide power graphs? It is one of my pet peevs to have over-spec lasers haha.

If it says 5mW I would like it to be 5mW not 5.1mW or 6mW ;)

lol all lasers have SOME instability. which is why they're (for IIIa/R lasers) usually around 4.5mW or so. technically 5mW is class 3b believe it or not. (5mW-499.9mW) not that that tenth of a mW makes all the difference. theres not some invisible wall there that suddenly says that you need to suddenly start wearing goggles there. you should always treat ALL lasers with care, no matter what they are.

but back on topic...even if they don't graph it. there are members here that will do it for you for free. (or you can do it yourself)

Alright, thank you Kaiser!

And do which would you recommend from LG?

The 5mW gold or 5mW platinum?

Just in case I would like to purchase on in the future.

well both lasers are the same...just a manner of which color you like. I personally like the platinum. its a bit more elegant to me. but thats just me. frankly i have an anser and a altair already so a lyra is a bit over the top as that would essentially give me 3 of the same laser. literally.
