Red laser recommendation.

[MrLaser]

I'm looking to purchase a handheld 650nm laser with an output power of at least 200mW and i would like some of your opinions on what i should buy. I have a pretty low budget of under 120 USD.
Features I would prefer:
>200mW
Focusable
Low divergence
Runs off 18650 Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery. (not completely necessary)

a few i have been looking at are:
www.rayfoss.com
www.rayfoss.com

I am leaning twards the first one since it looks like it's built better than the other one. Also, it runs off of a 18650 battery and looks like it has a good heatsink.

I appreciate your opinions on this a lot, thanks!:thanks:

Consider this:

Survival Laser R 660nm Parts Bundle - Laser Components Only

Private Message LPF member Garoq for the LPF member price, I believe you will find it close enough to your range, especially considering what you get.

Ditto. I just got that laser. It's GREAT!

Obviously not in the same league as the SLR, but I'll toss my hat in the ring.

I have this laser: Cute High power 250mW red laser torch/focusable [OL-CRL-250] - $54.99 : Welcome to O-Like.com, Your source for laser products

It's in good shape, LPMs at ~200mW with a peak of 224mW last time I tested it.

I'll sell mine for $50 plus shipping. It does show signs of pocket wear, but works perfectly.

I still like my Red Dilda... They are all still pushing
out >200mW... and they were <$30.00....

Dilda's are ok, I guess it's just the name that turns me off from them.

Just imagine showing people your lasers and then saying "hey look at my big red dilda"

They are only referred to as the Dilda... on LPF....:eg:
You are allowed to just call it a Red Laser....
Here's a recent review of one...

One of mine was pushed to 322mW (there is a thread
on LPF) and it still works at it's intended power...
