Have you looked at o-like? I've had far better luck with them than Wicked.

 

[ryan m]

But besides o-like and wicked how is ray foss?

You can never go wrong with greens.

The 150mW green from Rayfoss will have the best "wow factor" - great visibility and very bright.

Alright thanks guys, but what about the reds or the bluray from wicked. Don't they have 200mw which is bigger than 150mw? Wouldn't that make them better for burning?

Thanks again, sorry I am new at this:bowdown:

200mW is greater for burning, but 405nm violet and 650nm red lasers don't hardly have visible beams.

ok thanks guys I am probably going to go with the green.
