Need Help With First Laser

[Humanoid]

I want to get a first laser for about 100$ that is able to burn through things, maybe about 200mw+ strong. I searched a bit and found these to be the most appealing:

400mW 635nm Red laser Industrial Module /Focusable [OL-635-400] - $99.00 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce

2W 445nm laser module/focusable/adjustable/TTL 12VDC [OL-BM-2W] - $139.00 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce

They are both above 200mW strong, but the thing is that I'm not sure how exactly to setup the lasers since they seems complicated, and if they could be portable with a battery pack. If anyone could enlighten me on this, it would help greatly.

Also I found these as well:

New Stainless Steel 635nm 500mW Red laser flashlight /waterproof [OL-RP-500] - $145.00 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce

New Powerful 2W 450nm blue laser flashlight/waterproof/adjustabl [OL-BP-2W] - $196.99 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce

I'm not exactly sure to how good they would be or not, so if you could explain, it would help. I'm mostly looking for a blue or yellow colored laser. But I'm not sure if I can find a yellow since they are so expensive. If you have any other suggestions, they are welcome! Thanks in advance.

Yeah I looked through it. But there are still some things I can't find. So that's why I made this thread.

From the first link here, you have this image:

It's clear to me where most things would attach to, but what about TLL modulation, If I have nothing plugged in, would it at default be set to 0 at no TLL?

And also, what about the power input, where do I find a power supply with an input voltage of 12-13VDC and input current of 2A? Would I need special gear to create those inputs, or are there any cheap battery packs with those specs? I searched about it, but can't find anything helpful about this.

Sorry buddy but i cant answer that question. I can however give you some sound advice as to where to buy a laser and which to buy. Its simple. On the forum, head to the buy sell trade section and look for blords copper heatsink lasers. Heres the link:

Blord is one amazing seller. Unlike these china based websites you have linked, he can guarantee the power stated. The build is immaculate and copper heatsinks just make me :drool:
Now dont get me wrong, there are some cheaper deals out there. But if you need a good qualityrice ratio, this forum is the way to go. There are some other offers out there like thejoker's lasers, pretty much the same price. Also, blord has a warrantee so if something goes wrong then you know what to do.
Im sure many members would agree with me here, buying lasers from this forum beats other websites
