no it wont get into Australia, it will get confiscated. there is no fine for your first confiscation, just a letter of seizure.

well how do i get lasers, i thought lasers were legal in australia atm

 

[hugo999999]

you can only legally import anything under 1mw in Australia, in some parts of Australia theres even total bans

You can buy modules though, buy them from a place like o-like and put together your own laser and you can have lasers over 1mW, check out some of Jayrob's green kits. Get one of those and put it together with a green module, and you got a laser. It's not easy though but the best way to get a laser over 1mW.

By getting the pieces separately and putting them together it's legal. Rayfoss and O-like also ship while lasers to places where they are not legal like the US, email Foana at "rayfoss.com@hotmail.com" to ask about AUS.

so can you send me a link to one of these cheap kits?
cheers

Just use the search button and search "jayrob, green" etc.

 

[hugo999999]

for a beginners laser you could even just buy a module from dx and put it in a project box, thats what i did... dx modules are correct in stated power up to about 50mw then they become overstated

sorry too expensivee got any links to kits or pointers around the 20 dollars mark around 30-50mw
cheers

Like I said, e-mail them to find out if they will ship to AU. But I don't think these will work, they ship those that have unusual batteries without them so customs can't check.

This one is the best choice from Rayfoss. www.rayfoss.com But its 33$ US
