what laser to buy with 50mW

[thwirl]

Hello can anybody advice me what to buy with not more than 50mW. Is there anything good at eBay? I was looking this one - but I don't know is it a good one or s**t one!

If you don't think this is a good choice - please make search for me on eBay and send me a link (only at eBay).

Thanks

Don't buy green lasers from ebay because most of them are scams.
I recommend the premium 55mw pointer here.

If you're looking for a cheap 50mW laser, that still preforms like it's supposed to or even better, i would suggest getting the EDWINA 50mW laser from KaiDomain.

I bought three, and two of them were real preformers, remaining above 50mW for almost 5 minutes at a time.

You can get several for the price of one expensive 50mW laser, but they are still very good, and the massive body provides ample heatsinking.

If you get it, also make sure to buy some 3V rechargable Li-Fe-PO CR2s (green), because it works much better on them, than on the included primary cell. Don't get the blue 3.6V CR2s tho. Those can kill it.


EDIT: Wait, why does it have to be e-bay? You can never know what you'll get from there, and some of it can often be a drop shippment directly from KaiDomain or DealExtreme, and with these you can still use PayPal and DX has great customer support.

Besides, the laser you posted a link to has been removed, since e-bay does not allow lasers above 5mW.
