WTB: High Quality, Low Power 1-5mw Laser

[joeyd]

Looking for a high quality, low power 1-5mw laser to be used for my chocolate lab's entertainment (she loves chasing the dot). I am tired of the cheap laser pens I buy locally or through dealextreme. Would prefer sturdy metal construction and LR44or AA or AAA battery use. I've never seen it before, but a on/off switch instead of a momentary button would also be great but not necessary. Would need shipping to an address in Nashville, TN, USA -- zip 37215.

Again, I'm not interested in any high power device but instead a harmless toy that my dog will enjoy. Please PM me if you have a laser that would fit my requirements or a recommendation for where to buy one.

30mw is to much power to play with pets. That is enough power to damage there eyes. these are great lasers that will last forever. Laserglow Technologies - Handheld Lasers, Alignment Lasers and Lab / OEM Lasers Not sure if your dog will like green light but mine does.

Thanks for the suggestion of the laserglow. However, the duty cycle of 90 sec. on/20 sec. off wouldn't work for me. Any other ideas?

i would just go for a cheap chinese laser. the laser thing you would want is an over spec laser to play with your pet
my suggestion: LZBH - 532nm 30mW Focusable Green Laser Pointer
email them and tell them to lower the current, if you choose any other their lasers.
the large heatsink should make a duty cycle quite high especially at 5mw.

get this it has all the features you want. pretty much no duty cycle and a click switch. Laserglow Technologies - Handheld Lasers, Alignment Lasers and Lab / OEM Lasers

As you are sick of cheap laser pens..

I have found kensington wireless presentation pointers to be extremely robust and reliable. Yes, they are considerably more expensive, but they are multifunction and can be bought in-store or on many websites. You can also use it in a public place and claim you use it for presentations, not 'fun' .

You can get red/green ones and they are all 1mw so can point it anywhere and theres almost no risk of eye damage.

I have personally given this particular model heavy use, many drops etc over a year now and it's still good as new. Amazon.com: Kensington 33374 Wireless Presenter with Laser Pointer: Electronics
