Going to buy a 50mW laser

[Abraham1986]

Not only English, I also speak Dutch. I found this 50mW laser pointer: Goedkope en duurzame 50mW groene laserpen Is 50mW enough to burn things? I think 200mW is absolutely enough for me but cost too much... This is my first question here, hopefully I can get help and I will be more active on this forum :yh:

Good link Curtis,
I actually bookmarked this as my forum login even though its a bit old
It was basicly my intro to the forum when I saw the first "green laser":eg: and I must of watched that video 1000's of times and drooled for a true 100mw..
Then came the blue's etc. etc. yada yada yada...

Thanks GSS.
Yes, I've viewed that video many times. It is a good visual reference by Styropyro.
Yep, know that story well.

Abraham, you should be able to buy a 50 mW green laser for $5.00. If you are paying more than that.... they are taking your money. You can get one with a battery and cheap charger and diffraction grating with a case for under $10.00.
