Looking for a Green over 500mw

[Julian Fera]

I suppose I can also do some burning with a 200mw, hope it would pass customs into canada..

That O-like at 200mw for 169 seems very reasonbale but im also looking into the 150mw pen point from Optotronics

You can do some burning with a 100mw or so, lol..
Shipping to Canada may cause some taxes and it might save you some if the declared value is less than 50 usd. A suggestion.

Please make sure you have goggles if you are dealing with 500mW of green. We don't want fried retinas here...

Here is some discussion about the Optotronics 150 mW pen. Seems like a good buy. Remember: YOU NEED 532nm SAFETY GLASSES!

I didnt have a metre at the time but my o-like 550mW burnt table legs in seconds from 5foot whilst focused to infinity. my 900mW 445 can barely do that, so dunno what the 532 was running at lol.

I understand the only reason I would ike to go nuts is because this will be my only purchase for a long time and I want to be completely satisfied and not have any regrets thats all. So you still say only 250-300mw eh?

250-300 will probably be adequate for what you expect, but if you can afford it I would recommend getting the best you can. ofc, be aware of safety, but personally i dislike settling for what I see as mediocrity.
