need help buying first powerful laser

[ryancampagna1]

Ok so im new here and this is my first post. point is im trying to buy my first powerful laser, and by that i mean >50mw. im kinda stuck on the rayfoss website and the 200 mw red waterproof. however i also like the green lasers because there so bright.:can:i want the beam to be seen at during the day. so i have it in my mind that i want no less than 150mw. i also dont want to spend much more than like 100$ (and thats only if i really like the laser.

so does anyone have experience with these two lasers?
www.rayfoss.com
www.rayfoss.com
or does anyone have a better laser for a decent price. perhaps a green 200mw for less than 100$

Im new too. Everybody here seems to have the New model 200mw adjustable red, seems they all have one in their signatures, O-like has them for 45 bucks. Hope that helps:yh:

Greens are far brighter, though a bit more expensive. A 50mW greenie would be easier to see at night than a 200mW red. I think the extra cash is worth it!

ya thats wat i was thinkin but being myself i am afraid that i would spend a hundres bucks on the 150mw green and then misplace it or something. i hate having A.D.D. :cryyy: lol
but stil if anyone knows of a cheaper green with similar power id love to know wat it is.

Here you go. $30 for a super bright green advertised at 200mW. I really like this unit and I received it in 8 days.


BEAM SHOTS

LINK TO BUY

I don't understand how a 200mW 532 could go for 30 bucks... but the beam shots look ok. If it's really 200 or even +-10 then it's a good price. I would love to see one on a LPM.

I have a LPM on the way and will post the power when I get it. Did you see the picture where I have it along side a beam shot of my 200mW Rayfoss that was $150. The Rayfoss looks only slightly brighter and for $30 you can't go wrong.

EDIT
Member Don't Laze Me Bro says that his reads 135mW on his LPM. LINK
