Hello!
What are some of the better green keychain laser pointers out there? I know their battery life is very low, but the convenience factor outweighs this for me. I've had a couple in the past which have died on me a couple months into their use.
The one I've been using that dies on me looks very similar to the image attached. However, there is no identifying marks on mine (I don't see any on this link either), so I'm not sure if it is the exact model or not. Mine were purchased on eBay and are (supposedly) 5mW models.
I use them for pointing out corals in Stony Coral Reef Aquariums. So it has to be fairly bright, but nothing crazy. I'm not trying to light matches on fire or anything. (I've found that the green lasers show up much better in the aquariums then the red -- but if someone knows of a better red keychain laser application, I'm all ears!)
For those not familiar w/ SPS aquariums, you can think of them as a 4 foot fish tank being blasted with anywhere from 600-1200 watts of light depending on the tank. So dim lasers get drowned out by the aquarium lights very easily.
Thanks, I can't wait to get a replacement!
