Should I trade my PHR 803t laser for my friends 30 mw greenie?

He has a Wicked Lasers executive.... I don't know which is more valuable.

 

[chipdouglas]

price is irrelevant. what types of things are you into. burning, or beam strength?

Whats a PHR803t... Blu-Ray?? How many mW??

Man...... You need to do some reading on the Forum... rather
than typing almost 9 posts per day....IMO

I'd be :yabbem: to ask that question................

The PHR is definitely a better "burner" (in fact the 30mW green will burn exactly nothing except possibly your eyes) - the green beam is going to be many times brighter, however...

As to value, 30mW greens are generally between $20-30, and having the "WL" name on it really doesn't add much to the overall value - while the cheapest PHR's out there are between $55-65.

Hope that helped - and good point, Jerry!

He probably means completed laser, not just the diode...He knows better than that

No way, I would rather get that 30mW green from wickedlasers ;P

 

[BrewCityMusic]

Yeah, a sled is definitely NOT what I was referring to (although it's a great place to start....)

Sheeeesh!

 

[chipdouglas]

hey remux. it only comes down to the 2 questions i asked above. do you want to burn. or do you want a bright beam!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

 

[lazer]

Keep your phr and buy a greenie from wicked lasers or better yet build yourself a 100mw green.

 

[punmaster]

I agree with what lazer said. The PHR-803T is a wonderful laser for burning (plus the violet is just cool), and easily runs $60+ for a finished system. I'd say keep it and build yourself a nice green for probably less than that. Then you have the best of both worlds.

IMO I think a blu-ray is worth more the a 30mW green. If its 30mW's it should be much brighter but the blu-ray can do things the green can't. If you want a 30mW I would recommend buying from a trusted site like http://o-like.com/ or http://www.novalasers.com/
Wicked has been known to send out a lot underspec lasers so I wouldn't by from them.
Just my $0.02

Thanks for all the helpful info... I think I'll build myself a good 100mw greenie
