Hello all. New to lasers

[avengence]

Hell everyone,

I am new to lasers and I trying to get a good idea of what kind of laser I should get. I want to spend under 100 dollars and get a green laser with decent power that I can see it indoors but see it clearly at night.

My wife got me a 100mw laser for Christmas and this is making me want more. I hear wicked lasers is kind of shady and to stay away from them. Anyone know of a good alternative that sells something that will actually last?

Thanks!

US customs will confiscate any lasers they find over 5mw with out proper fda paper work and such.

I have never had a problem getting a laser into the US. 80% of my collection is from China.
