Where can i find a Cheap 1W+ laser?

[ColacX]

Hi guys im new to the forums and wondering where can i find a Cheap 1W+ laser? I'm rather unsure about what I can get them for since there seems to be rather many untrusty/scammy retailers.

I'd like a handheld 1W+ laser in any color as cheap as possible but I'm willing to pay a little extra if I know its a laser that will last long (which im under the impression that they dont).

Anyone thats experienced that can recommend a good one?

Oh btw can a 1W laser light the fuse of fireworks? And is it easy?

Thanks for any help.

What is your definition of cheap? If you want a 1W laser you're looking at around 250$ with batteries, charger and goggles.

If you are interested I can do a custom build for you. PM me if you want to talk it over.

Without safety eye wear. Expect to spend 100$ on that.

hmm okay is the wicked lasers any good? i think someone said they burnout and break fast. also can a 1W laser light up a firework during the winter? because that would be kinda cool.

Do some reading please. Both of your questions have been answered more times than I can possibly read in a week.

It might help everyone help you if you posted your age and location too.

Also, you should view the link in Wannaburn's signature in the post above this one. The link: http://laserpointerforums.com/f53/hit-eye-1000mw-445nm-blue-laser-6969.html is an example of what can happen with a laser of this power and highlights the need for safety.

I wonder how long it will take them to get that laser back in stock. That's a pretty good deal though.

The silver one is in stock. Just click on color and switch to silver. It's the black one's that are out of stock.

That's right. And the shipping (to me in the UK) was ultra quick.

Here's what it looked like out the box.

I've not done any beam shots as my only camera is on my phone with low megapixels but you won't be dissapointed.
