Some beginner questions ("which laser is better") and goggles

[Grokken]

Hi guys!

I have decided to order either this New style 180~200mW red laser focusable£*>5~200mw Red laser pointer£*>Laser&lighting products£*>www.0-like.com or this 180~200mW Red laser/ adjustable foucus£*>5~200mw Red laser pointer£*>Laser&lighting products£*>www.0-like.com red laser.

I've been lurking around a bit and seen a lot of threads about these lasers and from what I've heard theyre really good.
The questions is which one should i choose?

I've heard the old style has a loose head but I wonder how loose it is. Will the head turn when I just wave it around?
Is it a problem to get it to stay in place? Does the new style have any similar problems?
Are there any downsides in buying the new style except for the price?

And regarding goggles, are these 590-760nm Red laser safety goggles£*>Laser Accessories£*>Laser&lighting products£*>www.0-like.com goggles good?
Are there any better goggles I can get for around the same price?
Also, will they work at all for green lasers? I've also ordered a 50mW true green from DX, and it would be nice to know if they give some protection or if I will just look stupid wearing them

EDIT: These goggles seems good as well, can anyone confirm?

If I were to buy one of those two which would be best for my laser?

EDIT2: I also found these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Protection-Sa...tZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item33533fea67#shId

Many questions I know, but if you don't ask, you dont get any answers.

Thanks in advance.

Both lasers are good, pick the style you prefer.
The o-like goggle seems good.
The first dragonlaser goggle seems the better of the two.
Can't be sure of this ebay item.
Note that all of these goggles probably do not come with any certification of conformity to ANSI or other standards. Not first-ranked goggles like oemlasers, etc.

I ordered the New style and the goggles from o-like, lets see how things turns out.

Will the battery charger work in my outlets without changing the voltage? I have 230V outlets and the charger only seems to work with 110-220...

It should work just fine as long as the plug pins match where you are..

I still need the answer to this question, do i need to transform the voltage or will my charger be fine? I don't want my charger fried...

Hello Grokken, If the head of your laser is so loose it moves around on you, try taking it all the way off & winding one or two layers of TEFLON PLUMBERS TAPE around the threads. That should snug things up for you. TIP- wind the tape on, in the same direction as the head screws back on. If you wind it on the other way, when you screw the head back on, the tape will unwind & come off---------------rob

Isn't it the old syle dilda that has a problem with a loose head? I don't have that problem atleast. The head on mine is very smooth, it seems to be lubed.

EDIT: Wow, this laser is amazing... no complaints at all. the batteries wasnt fully charged when i recieved it but after i charged them it burns like crazy. There are burn marks on all dark colored objects in my room now ^^.
I can't wait to use it outside.

The battery charger made a *poof* sound while charing and i think i saw some sparks too.
Both the charger and batteries seems fine though. Is this something to worry about?
