I'm looking for a good 500mW or so laser under $150. I would like to buy online from a major company thats fairly reputable. I have looked at Laserbtb but I want to see all my options. Thanks.

You will only be able to get 500mW of 445nm(maybe 405nm?) for under $150, all the other wavelengths 532nm,650nm,635nm will cost upwards of $200> :(

laserbtb.com has some of the cheapest lasers out there, along with some of the best quality! The other companies (DL,LG,Optonotrics) will cost a hec of a lot more for 500mW! I personally think laserbtb is your best bet :)

what color, not green? you wont find a true 500mw green i can promise you that, but laserbtb is the best for now, good prices and overspec lasers.

532nm green lasers go up into the Watts, and even direct diode greens are now getting there.

Better in a lab, but there are handhelds 500mW and over. Not that uncommon, just pricey.
