    You're correct. Also check ebay, there are usually tons of 532nm 5mw pen style lasers for cheap and as well as 405nm. If you're just wanting to do some star pointing with the 532nm, it would suffice.

    Need help buying my first laser!

    You must be really patient when buying from Chinese companies. Their communication is not always best and you should expect to wait 2-4 weeks for your laser. Many people from the forum have bought from lazerer and the feedback is mostly positive. Give it some time.

    Can you get a 5mw burning laser?

    Like everyone said, those cheap 5mW 532nm lasers are usually over spec. Combined with the ability to focus the beam, that laser will more than likely be able to smoke electrical tape and maybe even light a match. With that being said, you need to be careful with it. You also should invest in a...

    Best safe green laser

    You can't go wrong with Optotronics. They have been around for a good while and have excellent reputation. The thing with most 5mW 532nm lasers is that they're usually overspec and put out a lot of IR, especially the cheap ebay ones. That one from Optotronics will have <1mW of IR. Good luck...

    McDonalds Gift Card

    I would be more upset at the fact that someone gifted me a McDonald's gift card. How did they mess up your order?

    And now for something different - being screwed by a buyer

    Unfortunately, rhd pretty much summed it up. Hopefully, that package has been at a snails pace this whole time and it arrives ending the PayPal dispute. Good luck to you.

    What should I get for my first laser?

    I would recommend a 5mw 532nm pen style, although it won't "burn" you will have a visible beam at night. If you want to a laser to "burn" you will need one that is focusable at least 50mw of 532nm. If green is what you want. You can get a 200mw 650nm for fairly cheap and will "smoke" most dark...

    Please help me chose 1 from 2 green lasers.

    Honestly, I don't think you will see much of a difference between the two. The 100mw will probably be underspec and that 5mw will more than likely be over 5mw.
