Most powerful red or green laser pointer online for under $60 ?

[glowing]

Hello,

I tried to do a quick search online and stumbled upon aliexpress which is probably one of the cheapest sources for laser pointers, though it has so many overspecs that it's difficult (at least for me) to find good ones.

What is the maximum power I should expect for an already-built laser from there (or other websites) of red or green color for an under $60 budget? I know this isn't much but I don't yet want to make this a costly hobby.

Could anyone point me to a reputable seller?


Thank you

Try using the search bar at the bottom of the page...

I did but most of the info is outdated hence the market prices may have dropped, not trying to be lazy just avoiding to get scammed and ending up buying multiple lasers from not-so-honest sellers.

Why not triple your fun and buy a 3-pack for eBay or Amazon for 1/3 to 1/2 of your target price?

I bought a 3-pack from Amazon and got a 64mW violet, an 87 mW green and a 94 mW red. Of course, you 'd need an lpm to verify what you actually received as it's really a crap shoot. But it may be worth looking into.

Thanks for your idea but ideally I was looking to just get one laser instead of splitting the budget among different ones (though I can understand it's difficult to choose), so that I can have the maximum power for the price.

Also I don't know if mW-wise it's cheaper a blue, red or green laser.


Thanks everybody who's trying to help me

I'm interested in this as well

Please anybody? I'm sure somebody here has an opinion or two and could also answer which one between blue, red or green laser diodes is cheaper per mW.


Thank you

use the search bar at the bottom like stated above. if you are getting outdated results then you are not searching properly so try a different wording. this question has been answered a million times and yes it has been answered many times this month so if you dont get current results then your doing it wrong.
if you cant use a search bar then you shouldnt own a laser

You ask a valid question, given your lack of experience. But, as others have suggested, you should learn how to form a more effective search.

The whole point is that, in an open market (and particularly with regard to auctions like feebay), the deals are "where you find them". And YOU are the one who needs to find them. There MAY be some general rules of thumb, but they do not always apply, so your best bet is to put in some time doing your own looking.......because only YOU truly know what you're looking for.

Good luck...
