I can't decide on what to purchase! AHHHHH! lol
Help me out here. What is your favorite color/power and why?
I love the look of the hosts from JetLasers and the fact that you can focus them is a huge plus. I know I want either a blue or green. I want bright/visable and I want burn so I was leaning towards the 2W 445nm PL-E Pro. In fact, I am almost set on getting that one, but then I see the 3.5W or 4W version of it and am thinking that if I get the 2W, I will regret not getting the higher powered version. Can you give me some pros/cons of going with either?
I know the green 532nm is the most visible, but getting it in the higher power also costs a lot more. I can get a 500mW 532nm and it would be just as bright as a 2W 445nm, correct? Heck, the 300mW is probably just as bright. I just would lack the burn. Why would YOU get a 532nm over a 445nm?
What decides the beam thickness? Is one color thicker than the other. I know a beam expander would help with that if I wanted thicker, but was just curious if there is a size difference naturally.
I have no real need for any of these. I want one for the same reason I own some very high powered flashlights. It's all about the "WOW!" factor. I have experience with lower powered lasers and am well informed on the safety precautions of owning a higher powered lasers.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and share your opinions. I look forward to your responses.
