I literally have a ten dollar bill and nothing else. What laser should I get and where?
You should save up and buy a quality laser. It's worth it. I know you want it rightrightnow, but it's definately worth the wait. You won't get anything impressive at $10.
Get a 405 violet pointer from the seller itemquickship on eBay ita $7.50, and usually overspec at 30-50mW of 405. Add some fog and u have a laser with a beam
Or you could do that. Haha^^
I suggest this one:
TRUE 50mW Green Laser Pointer Pen $9.75 Free Shipping
It is $9.75
I have ordered one, and liked it so much that I ordered 3 more to give as gifts. I have no way of telling the actual power output, but some members say it is 50mw or more of green. However, some members also say it is only 10-30mw of green and alot of IR, so I guess it's a gamble. Still, you can see the beam, and it's a great beginners laser. Hope this helps ya!
but you gotta remember, every laser is different, just because it is the same model, same supplier, same stock, doesn't mean a darn thing, it can be alot higher or alot lower, you never know especially with the cheaper chinese bulk drop shipping companies, they don't build the lasers, just buy them from whoever they can and resell em
I strongly advise against buying cheapo $5-10 green pointer when you are a beginner, sure they are cheap and fun but they emmit to much IR for my liking...(usually)
save up another $35 and i believe you can get a good rayfoss laser that would be a lot better that the ebay ones.
....Then contact scopeguy20 for some good cheap laser glasses
Yup, the IR output is insignificant compared to the green output, and you'd have to actually look into the laser before it'd be of concern anyway.
