Hi,
I recently grew an interest for lasers and am now willing to put down around $50 for my first one. I was wondering if anyone can suggest good trustworthy sellers. (that being said I will also look at local astronomy stores but I doubt they have anything over 5mw and they will probably be expensive)
I'm looking for something that can't burn unless another lens is added (magnifying glass), and I want the beam to be clearly visible in a normally lit office building, so I'm guessing that will be 20-50mw. Hopefully something green and under 50 bucks. I also need delivery under a week (will orde later today if nothing good shows up at the astronomy store). Looking around these forums, it seems that delivery for these things take a long time.
Also safety locks on the device itself would be nice, and the seller should have good control on the spec (I don't want to damage eyes by reflection, or cause skin cancer), and aesthetics wise, it should be bigger then just a pen. (portable handheld vs laser pointer)
thanks for any replies
