Should i pay 90 dollars?

[oVoxLaser]

Hi! This is my first laser and post here.

I'm wondering, should i pay 90 dollars more from a laser that in theory are the "same" mW? I will use this laser for fun and stargazing.

This are my options (if you recommend another company, please tell me):

Viper Series 55mW Green Laser Pointer :: Green Laser Pointer ----- 532nm Laser ----- Viper Series Lasers :: Handheld Lasers :: Dragon Lasers

DealExtreme: $14.38 Green Laser Pointer Pen 50mW


Thanks. oVox.-

The dealextreme laser will be under 50mW, most likely around 30, and will have poor divergence and quality. It may break within a month if you're unlucky. But the other site is pretty overpriced.

If you want cheap, I would buy this: Silver chrome green laser 50mW/good finish [OLSGL50] - $29.00 : Welcome to O-Like.com, Your source for laser products

If you want very high quality, I would buy this: Optotronics Product Details

If all you are going to do is shine it into the sky, buy the less expensive one.

Save your money for when your addiction takes hold and you NEED to have moar power

You would probably get 50mW if you bought this one...

DealExtreme: $53.44 200mW Green Laser Pointer Pen Black

But as Dave said... buy the $14 one for your 1st Laser..
then you will learn how they work and how they should be
used safely...
And don't forget to get yourself some Laser Safety Goggles...

I have a NEW 50mW (tested 47mW on my Laserpowermeter) green laser with a star cap for selling.
I got the wrong item and it wasn´t worse to ship it back.
You can have it for $25 + shipping depending where you come from.

That looks like a good deal-- the batts are re-chargable too-- primary batts cost a lot of $ in the long run--I'd go for it..Just MO.

How long does the laser hold 47mw for? And the star cap is removable right?

After a 10-15sec warm-up phase with an output between 35-40mW it hits the 47mW and stay at this output for 50sec, with 2-3mW up and down. The star cap is removable yes.


Edit: Remeber that it only recieve this output with 1,5V batteries! So if you want to I add 2 NEW non-recharable 1,5V batts instead of the others, that will reduce the price to $20 + shipping.
