Focalprice? And their Greenies?

[themandalorian]

I decided to put this in the general section because It has two points, and yes i did search.

Does Focalprice Ship to the US? I just bought a 1 watt red from DAOO, however a nice cheap greenie would be nice. I was thinking about getting around 5 cheap greenies from Focalprice and was wondering about the IR. If they're all around 50mw, Would IR be dangerous?

Or should I just go with that cheap 50mw Green from o-like

The green from those lasers is much more dangerous than any IR leakage.

Edit: I might buy a couple of those cheap greenies, those CR123 and and 18650 handhelds would be a steal if they work good, and for $13 it would be worth the risk. They even have a single AA laser there.

So safe to use? I mean I could get 5 different 50mw lasers, see how they are.

They still aren't completely safe, they are still 50mW green lasers. The IR from most green lasers I have handled has stayed in with the main beam of green, so it would take a near direct hit to the eye to be exposed to IR, and then you would have more to worry about than a little IR leakage. IR really doesn't become into much of a danger until you are a powers where goggles are mandatory, because then your are staring at high amounts of IR through your goggles.
