    Help with my decision please.

    Both Rayfoss and O-like are very trusted sellers, either way you will probably get close to 200 mW. Honestly it all probably depends on how you like the looks of the laser. Also, I'm sure there are some reviews of both of these lasers in the Review section of the forum that will help you make...

    Exactly how much brighter is a green than a red?

    Hm... so that's probably why I've been seeing such varied answers... Thanks for the help :D

    Exactly how much brighter is a green than a red?

    I've seen quite a few different answers, from 4 to 40 times brighter than a red laser. Not looking for a specific number, but something to give me a rough estimate on how bright my 200 mW dilda will appear... like a 5mw green? 20?

    Finally got my first greenie.

    Have fun :D, and btw if you find an answer to your second question I've been looking around for it too.

    o-like 200mw red laser power

    Just wondering, are you using goggles while burning with your dilda? I'm not planning to criticize, simply looking for an honest answer.

    Rayfoss shipping?

    My laser arrived safely to the U.S. about 18 days after I ordered it, I think it should be fine. Rayfoss labels it as a $10 'electronics accessory for gift'.

    Question for Dilda owners!

    How often do you use goggles while burning, and which pair of goggles (link? :D) ? A: Every time! Eyesight > all B: Most of the time C: Sometimes D: ..what goggles?

    Rayfoss mess up?

    I believe after you place an order on the site, they send you an email asking you to pay via Paypal... at least that's what happened with me.

    Do magnifying glasses really work?

    Received my 50 mW greenie from Rayfoss today! :D Managed to pop a balloon, smoke some dark stuff, but I decided to experiment some more. I grabbed my handy compass/whistle/mini magnifying glass contraption and was sad to see that it did not increase its burning capabilities, but worsened it...

    Rayfoss shipping?

    In my opinion, I would go ahead and order your laser from Rayfoss if you don't mind waiting a couple weeks. They are a trusted company and will mark your laser as something less suspicious like "flashlight" to avoid customs. IF you are really afraid of it being caught you can just ask them to...

    Rayfoss shipping?

    I ordered and payed for a 50 mW laser 5 days ago on the 9th, and they responded back saying that they will ship it out to me in 24 hours and send me a tracking number. They have yet to give me any response... is this normal for them to take this long to ship it out? Is there any chance they...

    Final choice!

    Will the power output be any different in the two lasers if I used the batteries that come with the flashlight host and regular alkalines in the pen style? I'm also afraid that by having batteries / a charger include with my laser it will be confiscated, is there a way to ask them to send them...

    Final choice!

    www.rayfoss.com About to order the above laser, just wanted to post this to see if anyone has had any experience with it (no reviews in the review section). I've also heard many problems with customs (I live in the U.S.) and are there any tips someone can give to me to help make sure my laser...

    Dangerous or am I paranoid?

    Don't worry, I already planned on getting safety goggles, and I think I'll choose buying a 50 mW green laser. :thanks:

    Dangerous or am I paranoid?

    So in terms of outdoor and indoor use (mostly to impress friends, family) which would be better, a 50 mW or a 100 mW? I really would like the 100 mW for obvious reasons, but not if I must take extra safety precautions over a 50 mW laser. One application I would probably like to use my laser in...

    Dangerous or am I paranoid?

    I've been wanting to buy a more powerful green laser for quite a while now, sadly I had to wait due to o-like and rayfoss being down for a few weeks. Now that they are online I have my eye on the 100 mW focusable from rayfoss, and it looks like it fits my needs, nice beam at night, some...

    Cold laser = IR?

    In the early mornings when my green laser is cold to the touch it produces no green light at all... I dared not look into the laser so I brought out my cheap phone camera and recorded the place where there should have been a green dot. Luckily my phone camera doesn't have an IR filter so I could...

    Can goggles block green and IR?

    It's for a 50 mW green laser I recently bought from o-like so I'm not sure if it has an IR filter. Will the IR coming from it be dangerous or can I buy a regular pair of green - only safety glasses? If so then... Are there any cheap (<30$) safety glasses that can block both 532 nm and IR? If so...

    Are focusable lasers worth it?

    I was planning to buy a 50 mW focusable o-like green laser but I've been hearing on the forums that on cheap lasers the focusing ring won't actually make the dot smaller but can only make the dot larger. Will the o-like focusable laser actually decrease the dot size, or am I better off buying...
