Looking to buy a yellow laser, need some advice.

Save up some more money and get yourself a very close to yellow laser. green yellow laser pointer at 561nm, green laser pointer pen

Just wondering, but that's a joke right? That website is using stock CNI photos...

It doesn't really count as a "stock photo" when you're a reseller, showing a manufacturer-provided photo of the product you're reselling

Interestingly though, CNI was reluctant to do a GLP sized 561 last time I asked.

If there was interest, I'd contact them again about potentially doing a 561 GLP groupbuy. Maybe with 5 interested, they'd be on board with making a few more.

Hmm. I've never really heard of "handy laser" around the forums, which was my main reasoning that a rare laser from a company i'd not heard of must be a joke. Well it's an interesting color no doubt, but I'd really like to get a 589nm or a 594nm as my next purchase. How much would these 561nm run, just out of curiosity?

Hard to know if it was a purchase from CNI and not a reseller, but my guess would be around $600 to $700.

That's interesting for sure then, but i'm trying to dig my way out of the "cool" end of the visible spectrum and another green-ish laser wouldn't stand out as much as yellow. People have actually mistaken my 473nm for "just another green laser" in person... not sure how they came to that conclusion, color blind maybe? :thinking:

Side by side comparison between a 532nm laser and one of 556nm. There is a noticeable difference as you can tell. 561nm would be more yellow still.

Woah. After seeing that comparison 561nm is surely on my list, but the price puts it wayy down on my list, at least until prices come down or a GB for that wavelength takes place maybe.
