Anyone know of a small violet laser that is brighter than 200mw around the $500 mark?

I have had a look around and other than wicked lasers I can't see anything small (not PGLIII size) that is brighter than UV Lasers/Ultraviolet Lasers (Violet laser ) Laser Pointer- Warnlaser.com

However obviously don't want to regret the purchase later after I find out I could have gotten something brighter.

Thanks for your help.

Don't buy from WarnLaser, they're a known bad company.

For blu-ray lasers you're better off getting someone to build you one. The people here on these forums will build you a safe, verified 200mW+ for $150. Even a 400mW+ for $400, if you want.

btw, are you Australian? Just wondering because that other thread you were looking at an Australian seller...

 

[temp5374]

oh really.... well thanks for the warning then

400mw for $400 sounds great... Is there someone I can speak to about this? Are they reasonabley stable and in proper housings etc?

Yes I am in Sydney.... I think I will just try my luck with customs unless anyone has had some recent bad expriences?? I havn't had any small packages opened in the past, only the bigger things like paintings, its still a risk though.

thanks for your help

Is it not illegal to import High Power Lasers to Australia..:thinking:
You could have your $400.00 Laser confiscated by the Australian Customs.. :cryyy:

Drew is a good guy and wont let you down. I would snag that deal if I were you.

 

[temp5374]

yes it is possible it could get confiscated, although I do have approval to own one and I know that they only check/open a small percentage of packages.... I am kind of thinking its worth the risk.

 

[temp5374]

oh and thanks for that link by the way, looks great I'll contact him about it

You'd better make sure customs won't keep the package. I heard a lot about the australian customs and the way they deal with flashlights etc.

P.S holy shit 666 posts now wtf should i keep posting? :?

You can get him to send it without any batteries or the tail cap in one package, and the rest of the items in the other. Customs won't be able to test it to prove it's over the limit.

I'm sure he'd be willing to accommodate you, and a little extra on shipping is worth the insurance.

the pocket mini's tail cap cant get apart from the rest of the body,but you can tell him to send battery and the back part in one package and the head in another.
