I am well aware that the laser is not a toy. I have a friend who's a lighting and sound engineer in training, he has a laser light show system, albeit a smaller one, with 405nm and 650nm lasers. We always mess around with different effects we can get through fog, lenses, even vases hah. That's...

Filled out the profile a bit more, created a welcome thread, am i missing anything? I wasnt planning on buying anything off of ebay. I want to know what i am buying and from who. Can you give me any more info on the JAD or JADD kit you mentioned?

So ive been reprimanded twice for creating a thread without posting in the welcome section. New to the forums pretty familiarized with the world of lasers. Kind of been an on and off obsession of mine for the past 6 years hahh. First laser i owned was a kaleidoscope pen from Dino Direct a while...

Hey there! Relatively knew to the laser community and found Optotronics a while back. Done hours of research, comparing them with other companies and i think now is my time to buy. Im going for the 100mw Premium with Special effects caps. Any thoughts? comments? Warnings? and may i ask about how...

Thanks again Alex, you've been most helpful on this thread haha, I am almost convinced of the Opto 100 but now i guess my only draw back is if it will be too bright to use indoors. I am well aware of the dangers that come with a laser of that power. My friends aren't. Thats where laserbtb comes...

I was also contemplating this plan. Mainly because of the lack of funds at the moment, if i had the money i would buy the opto pen tonight.. But i think i might just go for the 50mw laserbtb pen with an installed IR filter $45 shipped in 10-15 days, until i can comfortably drop $150 on the...

Thanks Greenlander! Its definitely going to be between the Laserbtb 80mw pen and still that Optoptronics 100mw with the special effects caps.. Pros of the Opto Pen -Lenses -undisputed quality (from my research) -divergence, diameter, ect. -fast shipping (hear the standard in the US is 4-5...

Thanks for the input, but the ebay laser unsettles me because it reminds me of the Dino Direct laser that i first owned. Ive read that they are never sold as what they are advertised, almost never include an IR filter, and like you said, are a hit or a miss. Its kind of hard to find a lot of...

That was another concern, im hoping the 100mw won't be too bright to the point where it's painful to use indoors. That's why i was contemplating the 55mw safer option. -Joe

Ooh.. See I kind of really like the host Lol I'm definitley in favor of the pen style. I've done a lot of research on both brands as well as many others. Opto sends a specifications sheet, with beam diameter, divergence, output, ect. I owned a 100mw red from O-like shortly after the Dino Direct...

Thanks Alex! I've been gravitating towards the 100mw since I've posted, with the help of a lighting and sound guy friend. The main reasons i added the 55mw options were because I could buy it now. Where as I'll probably have to save for another week for the 100mw. But the conclusion was to...

So i have been nerding out about lasers on and off for the last few years and thinking this is the time to buy an actual quality high powered pen. A while back i ordered a (claimed) 100mw green pointer with a kaleidoscope attachment from Dino Direct. I loved it, but it quickly got burnt out from...
