Thanks. I will just stick with Jet Lasers. I was really impressed with their product. They are expensive, too, but seem to be worth it.

Yeah, that was pretty funny. I hate those hosts with a passion.

Was going to buy from them, but now I guess not. Anyone know anybody on here who can make a cheap laser under 30$? I need at least 50mw

 

[GSS]

What color laser? and for what purpose?
Just need a idea where to steer you.

Hi, For 30.00 in a build I doubt it , a driver is that much alone . Then there's a diode a lens , host heat sink focuses adapter.Well good luck hope you find one .

I found a violet laser module that is 20$, and it puts out 100mw, so I will just use that. I think I could put it in a jayrob flashlight. I saw styropyro do that in one of his videos

A 100 mW 405nm laser is quite dim to our eyes as it is very close to UV. You would be much better off with a cheap 532nm DPSS laser module. They are very visible even in dim lighting. The beam can also be seen. Most come with a driver attached, so all you really need is a host and a single Li-ion battery to finish one into a pointer. Fasttech sells them for under $5.00 each if you buy a few. I also bought six 200 mW ones years ago, but those seemed to be 200 mW at best, some coming in at 180 to 190 mW.

Ok, thanks. I bought a 200mw green laser module off there.

Power for power or at identical power, 405 nm is about 1% as bright as 532 nm green to our eyes.

Hey Paul, any idea where to get circa 200mW 532nm modules nowadays? I have a laser66 pen begging for green lol. Or even a 150mW?

 

[GSS]

I believe "Aptlightingword" was were he bought his. They still list a few.

Yes, this is correct. I also believe Techhood has some, or at least claim that.

 

[Encap]

ebay has a lot of 200mW 532 12mm dia.modules listed for several sellers - Apt , Techhood and others
