What to buy?

[1337Toaster]

So, I've been in the market for a green laser around 100mW, and I've decided I'm going to get this one from rayfoss.

I just want to know what the experts here think of this laser, and if it's a good one. Also, I saw that they had this.... but what's the difference besides the first one being focusable?

:thanks:

I can't claim to be an expert but it looks like the host is different and in the first one (focusable) you have an option between the CR123A and the 18650 battery while in the non-focusable one you can only use an 18650. Maybe someone else knows something about the internals. If you have questions you can email Faona (rayfoss owner), she's great with customer service. I would ask if there is any power difference between the two.

I didn't mean experts like that... I meant people who know stuff about lasers

I have another option to add to my list, it's a 100mW from o-like.

I really don't care for the host of the o-like, but i've heard good things about them, so which would be better?

O-Like 100mW
Rayfoss 100mW
or..
Rayfoss 100mW Focusable

If you know of any more green lasers that are around $75, please let me know.

I've heard a lot of good things about optotronics if you don't mind having a pen style host

I prefer Rayfoss over O-like
Rayfoss had a VERY fast and good support, also I like their quality and very well packed shipments
