Hello everyone!
First, I'd just like to thank everyone on the forums for doing what they do; I've been super into lasers for a few years now, but unfortunately only stumbled upon the forums about a year ago, and in that time have been a bit of a "ghost reader"--but I've learned more in that time than I could have ever have hoped to have otherwise. :) I have a very small collection of three lasers that I've acquired over the past 8-ish months, all chosen based on your incredibly helpful reviews (along with the appropriate safety gear, of course :) ), and am looking for another piece to add to my set. I recently came across this laser at O-Like:
400mW 532nm Green laser
and was wondering if there was any way that this could be the "real deal"--for less than $150 it seems too good to be true, but it's currently the best-looking/brightest laser that fits in my relatively low budget (yes, I'm a sucker for bright beams). I won't be using this laser too much if I do end up buying it--maybe once a week for about 10 minutes--but would like it to hold up for at least a few years. Any advice/thoughts/alternatives regarding this laser would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Peter
