New to the hobby, glad I found this forum. I don't have any lasers yet, but I have been doing a lot of research and I would like to get a 445nm blue soon. Def getting safety goggles too! I'm happy to see so many forum members here stress safety!
will do... yea I get the sense wicked lasers is in this business to make a quick buck at the expense of safety and quality. I'm heavily leaning towards Survival Lasers 445nm blue. That looks like a quality laser and a reputable company. Many positive reviews also.
Welcome aboard! Don't forget to get some Laser Safety Glasses, and the search function here can be your best friend; don't forget to read the Stickies.
