True 50mw Vs regular 50mw

[jacob778]

Hello Dear laser pointer forum friends .

I'm about to buy my first laser pointer , i ask you to help me to choose one .

After i checked the sites that been offered in your guide , i conclude the 3 most affordable for me . the first two from DealExtreme & the other from kaidomain .

DealExtreme: $16.84 Green Laser Pointer Pen 50mW 16$
DealExtreme: $20.90 True 50mW Green Laser Pointer Pen Black 21$
http://www.kaidomain.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=9777 18$

1) Is there a difference between True 50mw to just 50mw ? ( i would feel much upset & cheated if i had buy the 50mw and one month later the company would release the new True 50mw ) from reading some reviews it was suggested the neither of them have really 50mw - who should i trust ? is there any reason than to buy the true 50mw if the real difference between them is 18mw vs 16mw ? in that case maybe its be better to save some bucks & to buy 30mw or lower than ?

2)The kaidomain cite has absolutely no details on the product ! does anyone know this product ? ( its seems a little heavier than the pens ) does it have a beam ? ( or the flashlight means its a dot only ? )

3) Can this 50mw generally can burn a balloon ? would i be able to burn a balloon from 50-100 meters ?

i would be very happy to hear your suggestion :wave: ! which one shoud i buy ?

sincerely yours Jacob.b

p.s
English isn't my native language please forgive me for my mistakes .

I reccommend this:

Higher quality than dealextreme, at just a little more $. It's up-to-spec too.


But, for your Q's:

a) The "true" one is made using a new wish pump diode, which would make it more probably that the laser is up-to-spec.
b) It will probably perform like a DX untrue.
c) It depends on the balloon, I can pop weak balloons with 30mW, but I have some that even a 200mW is having problems popping. You will NOT be able to pop it from 50-100 meters. The dot will be as wide as your palm at those distances, especially with such a low quality laser, and burning power would be 0.
