Hey Laser Pointer Forums! I'm a new member and looking to get my first higher power laser pointer (>5mw). I'd generally just use it for star gazing (not burning). I'd prefer a green laser pointer that has a momentary push button (not constant on). I'm looking at three laser pointers at the moment. Interestingly they go up in price as mW decreases. What do you guys think? The three laser pointers are the following:
200mW Rechargeable Green Laser Pointer Beam Light Single-point Black (found on laserpointerpro website) I like the simple USB charging & small form factor. $25
80mW Sanwu 304 Green Laser Pointer w/ charger and li-ion battery (found on sanwulasers website) I've heard good things about Sanwu, maybe not the 304? $42
75mW Optotronics Premium Green Laser Pointer (found on optotronics website) I think they're IR shielded? Safety is a big pro for me. Highest cost though. $125
Safety does mean a lot to me and I am slightly intimidated by the cheap 200mw laser pointer. On the other hand, the $125 Optotronic is near the top of my budget.
Will looking at the dot of one of these when used on walls indoor, and without glasses, be dangerous?
And to be fair, I realize these three are pretty different, if you guys have any other recommendations I'd appreciate those too.
