Welcome to the forum, please use the search bar to help you find things in the future.

Lazerer.com is alright according to lots of people recently, laserbtb.com has a rising rep lately for good greens at a good price. If you want definitive quality, however you'll pay a premium at sites like dragonlasers.com and laserglow.com.

Welcome to LPF!

Firstly, I'd advise using safety goggles for a 50mW green laser.

As for your choice, it depends on what you're looking for.
From the three websites linked, the '50mW' lasers are not likely to actually output 50mW, also the laser quality won't be great. But the price is also cheap.

At lazerer.com you could get a decent 50mW laser at $35.
Link - LZCS - 532nm 50mW Focusable Green Laser Pointer

Although, if you are looking for a higher quality, reliable laser, I'd suggest this:
HL 532nm 50mW-300mW
The 50mW version is just under $45 and will probably come in quite a bit over specified power.
It also has a very solid build with safety features.
It has an adjustable focus so if you're into burning this could probably do the common stuff like popping a ballon, cutting tape and perhaps lighting matches, etc.

Hope I helped with your decision.

thank you guys, you have helped me greatly, now i know i should get a laser form lazerer, and i agree with you, the other 3 links seem too good to be true, and they dont have a secure payment method, and i really dont want some random chinese guy to be able to see my credit card details. but then again, yourlasers is a part of DX and ive been seeing DX mentioned alot when it comes to lasers.

[daawood123]

Yeah, that seems like a good choice for the price.

and also i know im asking a lot of questions but you know the laserbtb (i think) site why doesnt it have any info on product details or shipping. to be honest i think that has put me off the site a little

The product specifics are on http://www.skylaser.cn/
Don't be put off, I'd say if you are willing to spend more then go for laserbtb.com, the quality is higher.

On the checkout page there is shipping information.
I live in the UK and orders from SKYLaser took around 3-4 days.
When ordering from them, best thing would be to contact them prior to purchase with any questions.

ok guys iv decided. tomorow, i will purchase this laser. LZTN - 532nm 100mW Smallest Green Laser Pointer
mainly becuase i have no experience with this site and even thoughh other people are putting in a good word i still want to test it out for myself. so thanks evryone for your advice. it was much appreciated

That looks like a good price for such a laser.
I hope your experience is good. Enjoy your laser and stay safe.
I advise you buy a pair of 532nm-blocking goggles.

I am happy to help!
