A Guide To Buying Your First Green Laser

[Mr Popo]

the problem is that im in america, i thought DX dosent ship lasers here?

 

[randomlugia]

Nope, DX doesn't ship to America. I wasn't aware of your location... This one is nice too, and BudgetGadgets ships to the USA. $24 for 30mW, and add $7 for 50mW.

Here's a great review (thanks styropyro) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04w1dmJijVM

 

[Mr Popo]

hmm well i was really looking to spend a little less than that (for a 50), how visible is the beam from a 30mw?

 

[randomlugia]

There really isn't that much difference between 50mW and 30mW. They both do the same things, and the 50mW is just a tad bit brighter. Both beams are very visible at night, and in dimly lit rooms. If you go with anything cheaper, you'll probably just end up with 30mW or less anyway in the end...

 

[Mr Popo]

but you think the one from budget gadgets will be better than the one from priceangels?

Overall yeah, but it depends on what you want. Torch-style and pen-style lasers don't really compare.

 

[Mr Popo]

Really? Whats the difference?

 

[JaiNobeZ]

Pen-style are small and compact and fit in your top pocket. Torch-style you have to put in your trouser pocket, but they have better heatsinking and can be kept on for longer.

Robert46: You haven't answered our most important question. Why the picture of an arse?

I seen the picture in an email someone sent me, And what it mean is the middle east is in the deep s*** area of the globe. And since I lost two family members fighting in the wars over there. I like to show my support for our troops that seem to be going every where now. Thanks to wonderful President. NOT!!!!

It's all in good fun though not meant to disrespect anyone.

take care..

Can I be second-in-command for helping people with the thread?

Can I be second-in-command for helping people with the thread?

Yeah, it seems like you've already assumed that position too! It's just a thread, so anyone can help, it just seems that a lot of the questions are directed at me so I try to get to them ASAP. Even though I forget sometimes.

When I sign into LPF the first thing I do is check my subscriptions, so if someone's posted in here I see what it says. The issue would be if we disagreed on the answer to one of those controversial questions that came up we'd give 2 conflicting answers and the unfortunate reader would wind up more confused. Haha...

 

[randomlugia]

Then they'd side with me because I started the thread.
