I love laser pointers! I just found this forums. Pretty excited I felt like an idiot for liking laser pointers until I found a whole forum of people!

Is there a lot of activity here ?

Also looking to find cool lasers is this a cool place to find them?

Well your putting your vision at risk.... You won't get any more of those eyes you got, you wreck them and that's it... Just a warning

Maybe a HeNe gas laser... Besides that I've never really looked into an orange laser either, try the search button on this site I'm sure something will show up :beer:

tbh I like the 5mw pointers the best

cheap look cool, dont have to worry about not trying to damage them

and as you now stated, more safe.

is there any nice 5mw lasers besides that cheap crap from china (i already got purple, green, red from china for 20 bucks lol)

opps I meant to ask what they are.

I made a typo of your typo and ended up spelling it right. Weird huh?

Oh lol I thought you knew since you spelt it right
But it is a laser in a "box" that uses a wall power supply, most of them if not all of them are DPSS systems, there are crazy nice wavelengths like 473nm

I havent heard of laserpoint.com before, you'll he what you pay for so for that 20$ 100-200mw laser don't be surprised if its waaay underspec
