Hi,

I am planning to buy this laser I found.High Power 100mW Adjustable focus green laser with flashlight style and safty keys . Cost is around 32-35$ which fits my budget. According to dealer, It is true 100mW Adujstable Focus laser.

Do you think its worth? Please share your views about this laser.

Thanks,

Vinay

I doubt it's actually 100mw. If it is, it probably has a lot of IR. However, I don't have any actual experience with that seller so for all I know it's on spec. Maybe someone else could tell you more.

Stick to buying from known laser companies...

Laserglow, optotronics, jetlasers, skylasers, lasever, lazerer, o-like, rayfoss.

I have read this guide, but my budget is quite low for now, the one I found fits in my budget. Around 35$. The reputed companies suggested by InfinitusEquitas costs higher then 50$ for 100mW laser. If anyone have experience with www.lasertd.com, please advice me about the quality of their products.

Thanks,

You'd be better off spending your $35 at a well known and reputable company even if the laser you get isn't rated for 100mW. Just because they say it's a certain power doesn't mean it is. They could tell you it's 500mW if they wanted to.

I learned this the hard way and ordered my first few lasers from random Chinese websites. All 3 of them had shoddy build quality and were either DOA or very underspec.

Did you ever happen to look at lazerer.com? They have a 100mW green pointer for $35.

No idea how much shipping to India would cost though so that might put it over your budget.
