you will soon want to upgrade a 150mw green.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.
Note: This feature may not be available in some browsers.
Nobody really makes greens and the main reason is they aren't really very practical due to the technology used. However, there is a new 520nm (called PL520)diode that came out recently that is capable of about 100-130mW. Thing is these diodes are very expensive so they would be much more expensive than they would be from a site like laserBTB would be if you wanted a custom build.
This is pretty much the best 532nm laser for its price and output that I have seen:
HL 532nm 50-300
If you want something a little more beefy check this out:
PL 532nm 100-700
This one runs on the new PL520 diode but hey don't tend to push them as hard as we do:
HL 520nm diode 30mW 50mW
if laserbtb is confusing to you then you should not buy a laser. laserbtb is a SUPER straight forward and easy site to navigate. as said previously, it doesnt make sense for members to build 532nm lasers since they are expensive to get a hold of a quality 532nm DPSS module and you can get them cheaper for a complete build.
for safety glasses please go to the yellow link in my sig. has a list of approved and tested glasses as well as a price breakdown of them. there is also a trusted member and company section there so you can browse other sites that sell quality lasers
You're simpleminded if you think because something is simple for you, it can't be confusing to another. Being new to the world of lasers, those numbers and letters didn't mean a thing to me and I had no idea what each laser actually was, making the site difficult to browse.
To everyone I've been keeping updated, I'm currently waiting for a 300mW HL 532nm laser to arrive in the mail, as well as some safety glasses. I'm excited about it. x)
Also, an additional question. How difficult are lasers to put together? Do you just order each individual part, and put it together 1 piece at a time like a puzzle, or will it require tools such as soldering irons?
well basically ..DIY: How To Build A 1W Burning Blue Laser Torch! - YouTube
but greens will be harder to make . thus why no one here sells them
Got'cha, appreciate the link. ^_^
yes i love laserbtb at thoses prices you can a high power laser for great prices wicked lasers is really overpriced and laserbtb is trusted the HL is good i recently got the HL 445nm 1000mW and its quite the burner well it would its 1 W but if you want a green one get the 532nm obviously btw any class 3B laser especialy green require safty glasses because the human eye sees green better than any other color and you cant just be carfull the dot close up can do temporary damage to your eye its that purple carp you see when you look at the sun quickly and blink but the the HL cost less than the PL same safty but the PL has bigger heatsink so a longer Duty Cycle and from what ive heard a longer batery life. But in all laserbtb is great <----:drool:
Oh yeah, actually, what is the average battery life before needing a charge on the HL (VS) PL, if you know?
Also laserbtb is underspeced so most of the time the mW is higher than what it says
Edit im not sure i just got it yesterday really and today i had to go to a family party so i have not used it much yet
but it also depends on the charge and the quality of the baterys you got you cant buy them from stop and shop you can get them at a hobby shop or the internetAlso laserbtb is underspeced so most of the time the mW is higher than what it says
Edit im not sure i just got it yesterday really and today i had to go to a family party so i have not used it much yet when i said recently im mean REALLY RECENTLY
