Not sure if this is the right section but i need advice on buying my first blue laser. Bit of back story so you can point me in right direction, i have owned the typical red and greens but have always loved the blues (and prices in the past meant they were out of reach). Came back to lasers just recently and realised prices are now affordable.
Im after advice on companies that sell blue lasers around 100mW and preferrably the higher nm blue ie 473-488nm. I found a old youtube vid on jetlasers 473nm and would buy that in a heartbeat but seems that the 473nm basically fell off the face of the earth. Google has not been kind.
I have also been looking at the sanwu 488nm which looks amazing but my only concern is that it seems more blue/green and not typical blue. Does anyone own a 488nm and can tell me their opinion on its colour. From pics etc it looks blue to me and only looks green when its next "truer" blues, but i dont want to buy one and then start it up and realise it is leaning more towards the green side of the spectrum.
Any advice on this would be appreciated, if you have anyother wavelengths that might meet this criteria (and arent overly expensive) or other companies that might offer these colours i would be forever greatful
