Hi everyone, i came upon this forum while looking to buy a more powerful laser than the one i already have. I have a small <5mW green pointer and red one too, but i thought id take a step and buy a more powerful laser to check it out and get accustomed to them. I have read the reviews section, and the stickied topics, and that was VERY helpful in narrowing things down, but i still dont know which to buy and from where.
Im looking to spend less than 100$ and i would like to buy a green laser that has a clearly visible beam (not just in the dark), will at least pop balloons, and slightly burn the skin (doesnt have to but i think that would be cool). I also want it to be reliable and not break after a week or so. (am i being reasonable for under 100$?) Im not looking for a very powerful laser that lights matches and can burn plastic and stuff... Im rather new to the whole laser scene so any advice would be apprecieated.
*sorry for that rather boring intro but heres my question*
after looking through the reviews i saw that o-like seemed to be a trustworthy company and i saw this: 80~100mW Green laser pen
this seems to be what im looking for in my price range, but will i be receiving what im expecting of it? thanks for any help
i also saw the review for this: 100mW Blue-violet laser pointer
I know this color/beam isnt as visible as the green is, but will it still be able to pop balloons, be reliable, have a visble beam in the dark (or light)? how powerful is this? thanks...
other recommendations are appreciated
