Help finding a 532nm, true-5mW laser

[brom]

Hello,
Obvious new guy here.
Does anyone know where I can buy an affordable, 532nm, true-5mW laser?
I have read through A Guide To Buying Your First Green Laser but the links to websites seem largely outdated and/or broken. I know it is a lot of work to keep up with this type of thing, but unfortunately the original thread is over 5 years old now.

I really appreciate this community already because I started my laser seeking adventure by looking for a 100mw+ laser as my first, but am now simply seeking a 5mW laser to start out with. The forum's concern with safety really convinced me - great job forum! I might be being too overcautious after reading all the safety info on the forum, but I am seeking now looking for a laser with an IR filter just in case (feel free to talk me out of this considering the low mW).

Again, if anyone knows where I can buy an affordable, true 5mW 532nm laser, I would really appreciate it. :yh:

EDIT: Affordable = less than $25

LaserGlow as far as I know is the only place which sells TRUE 5mW pointers:

i see laserbtb sells a 515nm 5mw, it shows it less then that perhaps that u want?

LP515-5 515nm diode emitting <=5mW

and its a diode laser, better if u ask me then dpss.

The OP is asking for a 532nm laser

If you do find a true 5mW 532 laser you will not have to worry about IR

ok, good to know. The forum just scared the shit out of me with safety information. Better safe than sorry. Thanks!

Seconded. Most other 5mW lasers will be way over 5mW, so be careful OP.

Good advice - Thanks all.

Is there any chance I could acquire a 5mW for under $25?

Tha Greenlander told you where to buy and how much it will cost.

Laserglow Technologies

39.99 USD with 4.95 shipping to US and Canada. I highly doubt $25 is all you will have to spend for the rest of your life. Just wait a bit and buy that.
