This laser can pop, burn and produce a very visible green beam. You won't find a better laser for the price.

That one won't have a very visible beam at night and the op said beam visibility at night was important.

Might want to try the $55 50mW one too. At those high powers I am somewhat skeptical that they achieve those ratings unless you're paying for a good tested laser.

On a completely different note: can that signature get any bigger laserlover? It's not even very sharp so reducing its size would make it look better too.
