Affordable Red?

[Sajid]

Hey people, I am new to the laser community, having only two lasers as of now, and I wanted to know where I could get a reasonably powerful red laser for a good price. I've been looking, and the only places I found were Amazon and eBay. I know enough not to but from them, so, any suggestions?

:thanks:

You want to buy one?

Check O-like, Rayfoss or Dragon lasers.

What wavelenth is that laser you saw?

Some wavelenths are cheap, others are expensive.

If that laser is 473nm...AND handheld... that price is quite justifyiable. seeing those are exotic and very hard to produce lasers.
(wiat till you see CNI's/DL's prices for 589nm )

Most common and cheap ones you will find on these sites are 650nm(your red),532nm,445nm,405nm.
Obviosly there are more then I can possibly list, but those 4 seem to be most common anyways.

You did not say what your definition of "affordable" is.

This is a decent mid-range unit. I have one, and I like it OK:
