Hey everyone,

I've been searching around for a 1000mW laser rescently, but I really don't know who to trust, and who not to. What price are we generally looking at for a 1000mW blue laser? I saw a 2000mW laser for $42, but it seems too good to be true. I would be willing to spend around $150 give or take a little. Would I be able to get a laser of good quality for that?

The best I have been able to find so far is this ~ Cyber 445nm - 1W Focusable Blue Laser Pointer Would you suggest this, or something else? I've already ordered safety goggles, so it would be a waste to not get one now.

Thanks for any help you can give! :)
 





You can trust the site you linked too, but you can find more for less in the forum section daguin linked.
 
Not sure how cheap he can do them but a member here called Blord makes custom builds for people, he's a great guy to deal with :)
 
Thanks for the replies! Still looking into it, but I will definitely check out the links provided.

Take care.
 
The only cheap(relitively) at that power will be a blue (445nm)
There are many cheap 1W 532 greens but none will be 1W[or even close]- none will last very long-none will be well built. as suggested buy locally- (which -- since you did not add your location [yet] in your personal profile) could be anywhere planet earth..

If no member lives close then go with any member with good rep. vets are best- see ads in the pro shop-
make a WTB thread in BS&T-

BUT DO NOT buy THEN ask if that was a smart purchase--

glad to help & if you can fill in your personal profile you will get some + rep from me.

We REALLY need that info to help you in many cases especailly this one.

You take care too.

ps did not see your intro thread in the WELCOMME section either-

go there and read a few that others have posted.

doing that is considered to be good forum manners.

welcome

Thanks hak. I live in the UK if that helps, and I've updated my profile with that info. I have also made a thread in the Welcome section. Sorry it was a little delayed, I'm just trying to find my way around. I'll be checking BS&T, and I am considering the laser TheDukeAnumber1 suggested. Thanks for the help!
 
adding on to gun: blord asks $110 for a 1W 445nm in a 501b host. pretty hard to beat. The guy is awesome to deal with, if he was a company, I would rate his customer service above Jetlaser's, which is really good.

Click to expand...

I would add that I purchased one of Blords builds, and he is awesome to deal with. Plus, he is relatively close to you.
 
I'd say blord too lol, very-very reasonable price...
cuz its 1,1W+ for just $110

just buy a G-2 lens for it and feel the power xD
 
Thanks all for recommending me. I can build a 1 Watt 445nm laser. It is usually overspec.
And shipping inside the EU is relatively very safe and fast.
 
Go with Blord :D

However , remember the G-series lens's disadvantage eh?
Poor collimation when compared to the 3-eles lens. (at least the G-series won't go mouldy)
 
Sainsbo my opinion is the same with others.Go and arrange it with Blord.Happy and satisfied Blord's customer here.Check my first review in this forum in Reviews Thread:D:D
