Low Powered 462 or 465?

[NightExplorer96]

I really appreciate everyone's comments. I would love to have a 473nm dpss. The issue with those is the price. At that price I feel like the orange/yellow handhelds/pointers are within reach. The cool factor to price ratio seems to keep pointing to just get a yellow... I don't think I can justify a 400.00 laser to my wife though... Looks like I am back to the old beam combining idea. Granted it'll prolly be 15mw or so... I think that'll be fine and think I can get away for about 200.00 maybe.

Hey Trend,

Actually 473nm <5mW pointers are quite cheaper then yellows. I've seen some 473nm's for as low as $200 and I'm sure some companies listed on LPF might sell some for possibly in the ballpark of $300+. Lasers are expensive, unfortunately for those colors.
