Looking for a 473nm or 589nm handheld/lab laser

Yeah I'm pretty sure I want a 473nm and not a 462. I believe the 473nm color is just better looking.

But the price on the 462nm is better looking!

With luck and skill at realignment you can get those old B&W Tek labby 473's to output above 50mW as well. My old one (long since sold) I bought from a member who got it to do about 14mW IIRC. I realigned it several times, finally ending up with it doing ~72mW stable.

I barely know what realigning a laser means/does, probably not the best choice for me.

Is an adjustable lab 473 on ebay ATM for 200$... You could bid on it...

Thanks for the replies guys. I've decided to wait a bit longer for a nice laser that comes by on either LPF or Ebay.
