Looking to purchase GLP 593.5 1mw

Hello all, I am looking to purchase a CNI GLP 593.5. 1mw yellow laser. The 1watt model is 260 dollars.Compared to my 200mw 650nm, 500mw 405nm,etc 1 mw does not seem like too powerful. Obviously I do not understand the reason for the different in power. Can someone please educate me on this, and if anyone has had experience with This CNI laser. thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!

I have the LaserGlow Rigel 2mW 593.5nm that I could part with. The CNI ones have a reputation of dying after a couple years, the LaserGlow ones are better. LaserGlow is a CNI reseller, but they do quality control on their products. Send me a PM if you are interested.

The reason a little bit of power costs a lot is because the DPSS process to make 593.5nm is very inefficient compared to having a diode that emits the the correct colour you want already.
