Laser varieties seem to increase each and every year, which can make it quite difficult to buy a laser pointer that directly suits the application you need it for. From hand held low powered models to military stylized burning lasers, it’s important to keep a few things in mind before you make a purchase.
Buy A Laser Pointer
1. What exactly are you planning on using the laser for? Are you planning on star gazing, presentation purposes, light shows, experimentation, burning ability, or other purposes? This will be the biggest factor into what you should be considering.
2. How much laser power are you looking for? As laser pointers can range from 5mW in power to an astonishing 1,000mW, it’s important to have some idea of what you need. If you need a burning laser no less than 100mW will be suitable, for non burning star gazing 5mW is fine but you may prefer something stronger to really see the entire beam of laser light.
3. What laser color are you looking for? Green at 532nm is always the brightest at the same output powers in comparison to other laser colors. Green also has a slight advantage in burning as far as light and heat absorption, but all laser colors over 100mW will suitable.
