So lately I thought it would be fun to randomly order some cheap green lasers from priceangels just to see if there may be some deals floating around out there.
First I decided to try:
854 50mW 532nm Green Laser Pointer (Black) $14.92 Free Shipping
Ordered on 4/4 shipped on 4/7 arrived on 4/16 Not bad at all!
I absolutely love the host of this laser. It is very solid, and is a very comfortable diameter and length. It fits your hand perfectly!
The listing says this laser takes 1 or 2 "aa" batteries, which isn't right at all. 1 AA wouldn't power this module and when you try to put 1 AA battery in you cant screw the back cap on because the battery sticks out too far. If there is anybody reading who has experience with a large assortment of rechargeable batteries, it looks like the battery required (to run this laser in "short" mode) would be around the same diameter as an AA but about half the length.
The listing claims this laser is 50mw, it actually may be fairly close to that. Its slightly less bright than my ledshoppe 50mw (which I believe is fairly overspec), but you can feel a little warmth if you hold it against your skin for a few seconds.
If anybody would like to LPM this laser you are more than welcome to.
The beam is about 1mm which is the smallest I have owned. My ledshoppe is 3mm.
For under $15, this seems to be a great laser! Hell, the host alone is worth $15 to me!
I plan to hotrod this thing up a little bit with an o-like 100mw module in the near future.
I would easily recommend this laser for an entry level green.
I ordered this one last night and will also review it when it arrives.
