I'm not sure what the "getting ripped off" thing meant but.. uh, look at the response I gave on my own comments. Truth? What do you want to know? I got the Coptell at Wish. com for about $70. It took about 3 months to get and it came from Wish. com. Happy now?
I purchased that cool looking silver one, literally 10 minutes after I saw what it could do. I have been playing with a few cheap Laser 303 and Laser 301 at 650nm and 450nm. They could light a match fairly easily, this should be a nice step up. Besides, I foresee our federal government deciding to define lasers over 5mw "energy weapons" and making them impossible to acquire without permits, probably within the next decade, just like Australia did. I will be happy I bought one when they are all illegal as shit. I will just swap out the sticker for one that says 5mw and put a removable filter over the output to weaken the beam, then when I need a watt, ill just pop off the discretely placed filter, and out it comes, full strength, none the wiser. Oh... Word to the wise, do not shine a 1-watt laser into a fire sprinkler with the red capsules. The red capsules on the industrial fire sprinklers are heat sensitive, so if you shine your laser around carelessly and accidentally strike one with your beam via reflection, etc and it blows, thousands of gallons of water continuously flow until the fire department shows up to turn them off, tens of thousands of dollars in water damage. So yeah, be careful around offices and hospitals and schools. Luckily I have a brother who installed similar sprinkler systems for years to tell me about that, they go off at like 400 degrees Fahrenheit, not much. I am sure a blue or green 1-watt laser is way more than enough to set those off, with even just a decent reflection of the beam.
Hey Michael, I have definitely subscribed. These lasers are packed with fun. You are supplying some excellent info to take the gamble out of purchasing some of the products from Ebay. I hope you are not against firearms but these lasers are excellent aiming devices if mounted properly. The other issue for a laser would be if it could handle the shock or recoil from higher caliber firearms. The military green laser output power runs about 60mw. Thought I would make sure you are aware of many of us who have this special interest in green or red lasers and thanks again for the great videos.
Love your videos sir. And most importantly your honesty. The items you reviewed are no longer easily available, or just that I can see. Would really appreciate personal message with any new reccs (especially the 960 second item you reviewed). Thank you!
Have u ever reviewed tested the mw output of the laser engraver modules on ebay...seems mist are way overstated in mw...ie lie...and if all the ones u reviewed here list as 5mw how do u know what u r buying? And where can someone buy a cheap but reputable laser power meter
Thank you for the video. There's a lot more to learn... Didn't know that lasers you bought off of ebay and Amazon and the like could cause serious burns. I really thought those were limited to purpose built labs.
Just an FYI if those are glasses from ebay or ones that came with a laser their likely useless. Try shining the laser at the glasses if most of the light goes through their useless and don't protect your eyes
sorry the laser is very very expensive for us,if you like which one,we can sell to you our best price,please trust us and advice is it ok for you.thanks for comment.
Michael, your reviews cut thru the chaff, and to that end I was wondering what laser you would recommend for versatility? Both useful for lite engraving of wood and in winter nights, taking out to do some astronomy with? To that effect, I don't know if you are aware, but I found these supposedly "2W laser diodes with a wavelength of 445nM" for under $100 and was wondering if you could do a review? Specifically, do you think these "M140 diodes" could easily fit the criteria for both - lite engraving and astronomy with the lens that are listed? To find the seller, you type google's homepage, and then directly after (dot)com. copy and paste the following: /site/dtrlpf/home/diodes/445-m140-didoes Lastly, is there a patreon account that we can donate to?
I do have a patreon account, www.patreon.com/mca0824 One thing to keep in mind when you are buying the diode alone is that you will need to build the laser server and install a good heat sink. This will get expensive and you may find it much cheaper and easier to simply buy one of the cheap 1.5 w lasers like I have in my videos. The work well for light burning and astronomy. I recommend a Thor 2 laser or one of these lasers. This is a 1.5 W laser with batteries, case, and charger. goo.gl/DyfXR8
Pretty cool! Great review of some very well priced high tech toys..for big boys! I mean, damn..$30? That's a great price for great looking hilt. The $70 one is comparable to the 'Wicked Lasers' $400 one! $400 is just waaaay too much when I can get the same effects for more than 75% off! Good review and very helpful. Thanks, man.
@@mca0824 Thanks for the quick response. The video was a big help in choosing a good laser for a good price. I look forward to seeing more reviews! Ya got my script!
@@mca0824 The Coptell. What's not in the video is where he got it. Go to Wish. com. As much as I hated buying it from China, I didn't have much of choice in that regard. Another thing: if you've ever bought from Wish, he's right about the wait! Since I wrote my comment, it took me about 3 months to get mine. In Wish, when you put in Lasers as a search, take your time when you're looking because of the competition in sales. I saw one seller sell one for $70 while another further down was selling the same one for $50! So it's worth it to spend time looking at everything they have - and they have a TON of different kinds. Mine is 10,000 MwA and DAMN! I live near BWI and I have to extremely careful the cops don't show up cuz there's jets flying over all the time. That thing puts out a serious beam! The blue looks bad ass and it comes with 3 different colors - blue, green and red. So, basically.. I HATE the sight but I like the product. At least, in this case. Just don't buy things like video cameras or camcorders on there. You'll be pretty upset over the cheapness. One other thing I found to be really well made were the switchblades. I bought a stilletto (out the front) for $20 with a belt case. It came in a spacey, high tech polly handle and sharp! Came right to my front door, completely legal because they call it 'assisted' instead - but, it's a fun switchblade! Everybody I know wants one now so.. uh, yeah, I'm gonna capitalize on that - prick that I am. Hope that helps. If you have any other questions, lemme know.
wear the glasses until you remove the battery from the laser. I put a battery in my 1800mw blue laser and i saw the beam, good thing i had glasses on or i would be blind right now!
I bought the 1mw blue laser. It was advertised as visible blue. Not true. But for $2 can't complain. Which one can i get that's cheap but is visible during the day
Be aware that a lot of those cheap Chinese green lasers also leak quite a bit of infrared (invisible) light due to not having an infrared filter. Your safety glasses need to be rated for green AND near infrared. If you want a high quality handheld laser, get a Jetlaser or Sanwu.
cousin Jessica :"MoM!!! billy blinded me with a laser!!!" billy: "no auntie we was playin medic, i gave Jess a LASIK ,and i just wanted to keep it clean fun"
I just bought a green lazer like the silver Chinese Gatlin gun looking ones for $22. It came with one battery that give you a lazer beam at half power. But it should be much better with the 2 16340 batteries it's designed to take. I plan to buy the red and blue lazers in the same host design later when I can. PS I got those same lazer Goggles with the same issues as I wear glasses too. 🤣
I might sound dumb asking this, but do you wear the glasses for when you accidentally shine it directly in your eye, or does looking at the light on an object w/o protection cause eye damage?
Thanks Michael for you rapid response...I understand NM as I am searching for a laser that only reflects light off of 100NM products or below...we test our Homemade silver for strength by using lasers...for instance the Red laser will light up particles greater than 200 NM while we use the green laser to identfy particles smaller than 532NM....what I need is a laser that only lights up silver particles smaller than 100NM because...they are capable of penetrating the blood barrier and kill pathogens in the blood...I think the purple laser would highlight silver particles smaller than 200NM?....do you understand?
I understand. I believe you are looking for objects that are outside of the visible spectrum. I would probably go with a uv light or even a uv laser. You may require special glasses or camera to view the particles.
Hey brother how are ya? Wonderful show you have here. Have you any thoughts on the Thor M2 blue 450nm 3 watt laser? I just got mine and I think I'm in love.
Hey, thanks for the kind words. The thor is a good laser. The diode can easily burn out, so be sure to use in short time increments. It is also best to have some really good safety goggles. That 3Watts can do permanent damage. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
@@mca0824 Wow thanks for the comment! I have some red 'ebay' rated from I believe 200nm up 800nm but I'm concerned this might not be enough (we all know eBay). What would you recommend? I want to be certain that they are up to par
0But why you dont put the direct link of that lazer pointer on ebay, search by user is more difficult ... by the way Laserbest2012 I can't find him on ebay ..
Nm stands for nano meters. Or 1 1/billionth of a meter. It is a unit of measure of the wave length of the lasers light. Depending on the width of the wave length you get different colors of light. Hope that helps.
Bill - Nm is basically how visible the laser beam is to the eye (555nm wavelength is most visible to the eyes), the most visible lasers are the 532nm green ones, 2nd are 445nm - 450nm blue lasers and 632nm - 650nm red lasers are least visible I've got two 303 lasers one red, one green both have roughly 200mw output power but the green beam is about 3 times more visible than the red one.
We purchased the same laser in Michael's hand at 6:30 and, on a calibrated Spectra-Physics power meter we measured less than 240 mw. with the blue. The red was ~ 140 mw. They have no heat sink to handle the stated power. They look sexy in that "Buck Rogers" housing. What gives? Btw, we are the lab guys at Coherent Lasers, Inc. - not newbies.
I have seen other lasers in the same housing. Maybe you purchased one that was a lower mw. I know your equipment would be way more accurate than the LaserBee power meter I am using. You really have to know who you are buying from or the power can be all over the place. That is why I make these videos and I try to always give the source so buyers can get what they pay for.
I just ordered the last laser pointer you tested; however the seller cannot ship batteries overseas, It requires x2 16340 li-ion batteries. I have a universal charger i use for 18650 cells. Here’s the question. What mAh rating would you recommend for this pointer. I’m aware these batteries come in different amperage discharge rates. Should I go with a pair of 2000mAh, 2500mAh, or 3000mAh batteries?
Be sure to be careful with that laser. They are very dangerous and can cause severe damage to eyes. I hope you can post a video so I can see how you put your laser to work. Thanks for the purchase and for the comment.
Thanks for the review great collection. I just don't know why people keep explaining how they get through customs online . stupid exposure on behalf of us all in the future. Keep it up and there will be no sale to anyone.
These lasers are not illegal to own, they are illegal to sell in the US. When you order a laser they usually list the item as a flashlight or they state the power is far less than it actually is. That is the seller not the buyer who is possibly breaking the law. It is completely legal to order one and to own. They are however very dangerous and should not be owned by people who do not take the proper safety precautions.
@@mca0824 yeah well in Australia you need a permit under the firearms act for anything over 1 mW so I've done my research for where I live . you still don't give up the seller and their way around customs . which is also irrelevant to the review. Simple. Its called blabbermouthing.
@@DP-eb2yn You missed the point of the video. blabbermouthing is also called sharing facts. The lasers are listed as a safe power and are sold over powered and dangerous to people. That is the point of the review, I do not really care if the China supplier that lied about the power is not able to ship the item through customs.
Mike, I'm looking for a green or red laser with collimator so i can widen the beam for hunting/night hike applications. Do you know of any cheaper options than the ND3 lasers? Thanks, keep the vids coming.
If you are planning to use it to light your way, You might do better with a red light flashlight. The lasers will hurt your eyes if you are shinning them on the ground near you, especially in low light situations.
eBay removed the laser that you reviewed here and I was wondering what your recommendation would be for purchasing was in the United States today? I’m looking for equally as high powered without an enormous price tag.
I have a 5.2Watt hand held blue laser. That is 5200 mw. It burns quickly and not to bad on price. I only have 4 of these for $350 each. Comes with high quality safety glasses, batter charger, and nice storage case.
Become an a Ebay Affiliate and put your affiliate link to the exact lasers you are using and you will earn more money when people buy a laser from your link. Plus it is easier for people to find the exact laser with a direct link.
What makes them dangerous, and capable of burning, is it is 1 or 2 Watts concentrated to a very fine point. Just like you can stand in sunlight, but try standing underneath a big magnifying glass that concentrates the light to a point. So not dangerous like it would immediately kill you, but they can blind you immediately if handled improperly, or allowed in the hands of children, your house can burn down, and Incidentally kill you, and everybody in it, and like your 100 Watt light bulb, if you had a 100 Watt laser, It would cut through steel with relative ease, because it is focused to the size of a pinhead. Adjust that same lasers focus out to the size of a orange, and it would just be uncomfortably warm to your hand like a 100W bulb. This is How Laser's work, hope that clears some confusion up.
ok.. so.. you have multiple links in the description... what is what? im a bit confused. laserbest2012 doesnt exist.. .... and the 2 lasers you have listed are different from each other. Which one should I get? What one should I get if all I want is to burn stuff like a 10 year old boy? lol
Michael right on! Thanks for the recommend. I hate to be repetitive but, this will burn stuff? I wanna pop balloons, destroy killer ants, and Conquer the universe. This will work? ;) great and informative video mate. U rock.
With this laser you should be the envy of the neighborhood and the world shall be yours. Be sure to wear the not so cool shades that come with the laser. It can damage your eyes. That laser should be around 1400mw and that will definitely burn items and pop balloons. It will work best on black or dark colored balloons. Enjoy !
Great video, although I wouldn't order these because I haven't had very good experiences with ebay lasers I still found myself watching the entire video which is rare for me! Very entertaining +Sub
What is the highest power laser that will not damage your eyes? I always thought the visible beam lasers were so awesome and would like to get one. Are visible beams more powerful and will one accidental look damage your eyes? Great videos btw.
If you ebay search "custom 7w laser" you will find a guy that makes them. With real drivers and lens. One is like 229.99 for a 3 or 4w output. (7w diode) Thats crazy powerful. I believe he has one with the full 7w for like 600. They are nice too.
The laser at 3:50 in this video will do the job. The problem it can be harmful to the birds eyes and also to yours. If you wanted to get one please make sure you wear the proper safety glasses and try not to blind the birds. Thanks for watching.
I recently bought one that looks like the second one you showed. The one i bought was also listed as a 960-B 450nm for $62 although from a different seller but has excellent feedback. It was also shipped from china. How has yours held up since making this video?
Michael I also just ordered this laser from a different seller for $62. I have the same question haha, how well does this laser hold up for you? And is there any clarification as to what type of lenses this thing has? Also do the batteries fit snug? Thanks a lot for your help!
Michael For the lenses part, I meant as to whether you knew it was a three element glass or g-2 lens; sorry for the misinterpretation. You said in the other replies that the button feels a bit cheap; is it a bit loose? And how long can this laser diode run in times of seconds after you turn it on? Thanks a lot for the info!
Hello Mca0824, Just bought the Green Laser (23.95$) from Coptel_Technology yesterday. Are you still satisfied with this Laser ? Do I really need Glasses with this one ? Any suggestions about Best Batteries ? Thank you for these great Videos !
Hello, I still have mine and it is still working. As far as the glasses, it is always best to wear them when dealing with lasers over 5mw. The green laser is probably between 40 and 80mw. That power can do harm to your eyes. If you are just using it outdoors at night, you could probably get away with it. But indoors, even the reflected light off a glass can do harm to your eyes. Mainly just be careful and you should be find.
@@mca0824 Hello there, Oh yes got my Laser, and love it ! It is much stronger than my Galileo-5 from Laserglow (Canada). Thank you for your Video that suggested me to get this Laser. Take care.
Hey Michael, great videos on laser pointers. I’m looking for a really good quality high powered laser. I’m an amateur astronomer and I’m looking for a laser to use in conjunction with a Telescope. I’m looking for a high quality, high powered laser; not just some junk eBay special. A made in the USA laser would be nice... I’m really not interested in a piece of Chinese junk. Ha ha I’m even open to an AC powered laser... What are your recommendations? Thanks for making such great videos and keep up the good work! 👍🏻 - John
I really like my Jetlaser now that I have it repaired. They are very high quality and reliable lasers. They also have a high price tag. As far as lasers made in the US, you are probably not going to find anything higher than 5mw. For the price you should check into a Thor 2 laser . You can get one of those for about $70. They are very strong around 1300mw, so you really need to be safe while using them.
@@John_C007 Don't give up. Those stars are not going to watch themselves. Well since we are made of stars, we are a way for the universe to watch itself. I stand corrected.
@@andrewarcher880 I never saw a reply comment from you and today here it was. I would imagine you have already found the info you were looking for. If not I am happy to answer and questions. Sorry I did not see the comment.
Hey Michael I hope this reaches you I was wondering if you had some information on a good laser for star gazing my buddy and I have been looking for years and his birthday is coming up I really want to get the best one I can for it. Thank you again for the great info!
Yes for star gazing but also want to make sure it’s strong enough for fun too lol he’s a bio chemist so he knows the severity but I did try laser pointer pro before watching your videos and now I’m concerned they have my info and keep sending me things about payment
I will be watching my ad count. If I make enough from it I will gladly send you one. I don't do this for profit, but I cant send it to you for free. Have a nice day.
The second one in this video is well worth the price. It did take 60 days to arrive. The Chinese New Year is going on now so be prepared to wait even longer.
Maximum power drops off after about 8 minutes. Since this laser should only be used for a few seconds at a time that is rather good. The laser will stay strong on a charge for about an hour. But the burning ability drops off after about the first 8 minutes.
got my blue laser and it says 2000mw on it and class 4b...this thing is bright as hell...I put in comments when I ordered to give me their most powerful one hehe...I don't have a laser tester though
Mca0824 dont listen to his comment man he must of been watching the video in half speed it was an incredible review of lasers just read the other comments people like hating
Man, these lasers have come a long way since the old little key chain ones lol
Yes they have.
id say availability and cost over advanced technology. think of what youd pay for a brand new in the box windows 98 OS today as compared to in '98

Shows the power of the sun with them lazers, red low, green middle, blue high and together you have the sun
Love your video but if you still mess around with lasers use survival lasers glasses
Thanks Evan. For watching and the advise. I have recently purchased a really nice pair of laser glasses.
I might sound dumb asking this, but do you wear the glasses for when you accidentally shine it directly in your eye, or does looking at the light on an object w/o protection cause eye damage?
Safety glasses are not just for direct exposure, even a small amount of reflected light can cause eye damage or even blindness.
@@mca0824 How useful are them for self-defense?
I can't carry firearms in my country.
@@rafaelfelix3482 they can be very useful. The problem is you can cause permanent damage to someone's eyes and be held liable.
Thanks Michael for you rapid response...I understand NM as I am searching for a laser that only reflects light off of 100NM products or below...we test our Homemade silver for strength by using lasers...for instance the Red laser will light up particles greater than 200 NM while we use the green laser to identfy particles smaller than 532NM....what I need is a laser that only lights up silver particles smaller than 100NM because...they are capable of penetrating the blood barrier and kill pathogens in the blood...I think the purple laser would highlight silver particles smaller than 200NM?....do you understand?
I understand. I believe you are looking for objects that are outside of the visible spectrum. I would probably go with a uv light or even a uv laser. You may require special glasses or camera to view the particles.
Will a 1W laser cause damage to my eyes even if im not looking at it directly like lets say i shine it on a door 50 feet away and look at the spot
It can damage your eyes if it's a reflective surface. Please buy good quality laser glasses such as Eagle Pair brand.
Yes.
So what would you use this for???
Hey brother how are ya? Wonderful show you have here. Have you any thoughts on the Thor M2 blue 450nm 3 watt laser? I just got mine and I think I'm in love.
Hey, thanks for the kind words. The thor is a good laser. The diode can easily burn out, so be sure to use in short time increments. It is also best to have some really good safety goggles. That 3Watts can do permanent damage. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
@@mca0824 Wow thanks for the comment! I have some red 'ebay' rated from I believe 200nm up 800nm but I'm concerned this might not be enough (we all know eBay). What would you recommend? I want to be certain that they are up to par
0But why you dont put the direct link of that lazer pointer on ebay, search by user is more difficult ... by the way Laserbest2012 I can't find him on ebay ..
Great reviews, thanks
When you list the different NM ratings of the lasers...what exactly does that mean?...Like Purple 405NM what is that?
Nm stands for nano meters. Or 1 1/billionth of a meter. It is a unit of measure of the wave length of the lasers light. Depending on the width of the wave length you get different colors of light. Hope that helps.
Bill - Nm is basically how visible the laser beam is to the eye (555nm wavelength is most visible to the eyes), the most visible lasers are the 532nm green ones, 2nd are 445nm - 450nm blue lasers and 632nm - 650nm red lasers are least visible I've got two 303 lasers one red, one green both have roughly 200mw output power but the green beam is about 3 times more visible than the red one.
Does the laser have to be close to set fire?
Another Great Video!
Thank you Nicobluey. Like your drone video.
We purchased the same laser in Michael's hand at 6:30 and, on a calibrated Spectra-Physics power meter we measured less than 240 mw. with the blue. The red was ~ 140 mw. They have no heat sink to handle the stated power. They look sexy in that "Buck Rogers" housing. What gives? Btw, we are the lab guys at Coherent Lasers, Inc. - not newbies.
I have seen other lasers in the same housing. Maybe you purchased one that was a lower mw. I know your equipment would be way more accurate than the LaserBee power meter I am using. You really have to know who you are buying from or the power can be all over the place. That is why I make these videos and I try to always give the source so buyers can get what they pay for.
Lookin for a safe laser, able to produce a pretty visible beam, but not powerful enough to burn through stuff, what range of mw should I look for?
BeefnCheese search for the
Look for a green laser around 20 to 50 mw. Very bright and impressive but not over powered. Still protect your eyes and use safely.
Can you provide link to buy both of em please , thank you 🙂👍
Are you still looking for lasers ? Sorry I did not see your comment.
I just ordered the last laser pointer you tested; however the seller cannot ship batteries overseas, It requires x2 16340 li-ion batteries. I have a universal charger i use for 18650 cells. Here’s the question. What mAh rating would you recommend for this pointer. I’m aware these batteries come in different amperage discharge rates. Should I go with a pair of 2000mAh, 2500mAh, or 3000mAh batteries?
The batteries I use most often are 3000mAH
Be sure to be careful with that laser. They are very dangerous and can cause severe damage to eyes. I hope you can post a video so I can see how you put your laser to work. Thanks for the purchase and for the comment.
Please tell me which one is long distance burning ?
What are you burning and how far away ?
Thanks for the review great collection. I just don't know why people keep explaining how they get through customs online . stupid exposure on behalf of us all in the future. Keep it up and there will be no sale to anyone.
These lasers are not illegal to own, they are illegal to sell in the US. When you order a laser they usually list the item as a flashlight or they state the power is far less than it actually is. That is the seller not the buyer who is possibly breaking the law. It is completely legal to order one and to own. They are however very dangerous and should not be owned by people who do not take the proper safety precautions.
@@mca0824 yeah well in Australia you need a permit under the firearms act for anything over 1 mW so I've done my research for where I live . you still don't give up the seller and their way around customs . which is also irrelevant to the review. Simple. Its called blabbermouthing.
@@DP-eb2yn You missed the point of the video. blabbermouthing is also called sharing facts. The lasers are listed as a safe power and are sold over powered and dangerous to people. That is the point of the review, I do not really care if the China supplier that lied about the power is not able to ship the item through customs.
Why are there 2 different gatling type lasers? Thanks
Lots of people use the gatling style host. They look the same on the outside, but the inside makes all the difference. Like people.
Mike, I'm looking for a green or red laser with collimator so i can widen the beam for hunting/night hike applications. Do you know of any cheaper options than the ND3 lasers? Thanks, keep the vids coming.
If you are planning to use it to light your way, You might do better with a red light flashlight. The lasers will hurt your eyes if you are shinning them on the ground near you, especially in low light situations.
The redlight flashlights will give you visibility without diminishing your night vision. They are a great option for night hikes or hunts.
any particular recommendations?
The smith and Wesson Galaxy 12 is a nice light for the price.
I'll check it out. Do you know of any laser lights with adjustable beams/collimator? check this out th-cam.com/video/0bh2rc2PEks/w-d-xo.html
eBay removed the laser that you reviewed here and I was wondering what your recommendation would be for purchasing was in the United States today? I’m looking for equally as high powered without an enormous price tag.
Hi George, did you find a laser ? I can recommend a few if your still looking.
@@mca0824 what’s the recommendation now?
So out of all your testing. Which was the strongest green, red, blue, and violet?
Blue
I can’t find the one you used in the video to burn the matches with. Can you provide a link?
Did you find a laser ? I can get you a link if your still looking.
I was building a ruby crystal optical pumped laser in high school back in 1975.
Sir, what would be the highest wattage laser that's worth the money, one for burning quickly (handheld)
I have a 5.2Watt hand held blue laser. That is 5200 mw. It burns quickly and not to bad on price. I only have 4 of these for $350 each. Comes with high quality safety glasses, batter charger, and nice storage case.
Can you focus the second laser to infinity? So that it doesn't diverge a lot?
yes
mca0824 Thank you, maybe I'll get myself one. I don't Care about the waiting time
0:42 looks like a mini version of the Sanwu Striker 🤣🤣
it does haha
what about custom charges?did not u get them while ordering these lasers?
No custom charges. The shipping shows that it has a flashlight in the box.

i cant find the laserbest2012 anywhere can you help? i live in canada
Lasers in the 1-2 watt range? My house is full of 100 watt light bulbs, what would a 100 watt laser do if a single watt is considered dangerous?
What makes them dangerous, and capable of burning, is it is 1 or 2 Watts concentrated to a very fine point. Just like you can stand in sunlight, but try standing underneath a big magnifying glass that concentrates the light to a point. So not dangerous like it would immediately kill you, but they can blind you immediately if handled improperly, or allowed in the hands of children, your house can burn down, and Incidentally kill you, and everybody in it, and like your 100 Watt light bulb, if you had a 100 Watt laser, It would cut through steel with relative ease, because it is focused to the size of a pinhead. Adjust that same lasers focus out to the size of a orange, and it would just be uncomfortably warm to your hand like a 100W bulb. This is How Laser's work, hope that clears some confusion up.
IR filter?
I like the 488nm cyan-nlue the most.
What is those laser for actually?
couldnt find any of the sellers could you leave a direct link for the both in the comments?
ok.. so.. you have multiple links in the description... what is what? im a bit confused. laserbest2012 doesnt exist.. .... and the 2 lasers you have listed are different from each other. Which one should I get? What one should I get if all I want is to burn stuff like a 10 year old boy? lol
lol, I would recommend this laser. goo.gl/1tH2Q8
Michael right on! Thanks for the recommend. I hate to be repetitive but, this will burn stuff? I wanna pop balloons, destroy killer ants, and Conquer the universe. This will work? ;) great and informative video mate. U rock.
With this laser you should be the envy of the neighborhood and the world shall be yours. Be sure to wear the not so cool shades that come with the laser. It can damage your eyes. That laser should be around 1400mw and that will definitely burn items and pop balloons. It will work best on black or dark colored balloons. Enjoy !
Great video, although I wouldn't order these because I haven't had very good experiences with ebay lasers I still found myself watching the entire video which is rare for me! Very entertaining +Sub
Thank you for watching and the sub.
Hi What’s the range on that thing?
Does the bx6 1.5w ship to the us I'm thinking of ordering one
Yes it does. You can get it here. goo.gl/TRVDx8
Michael So that's the same one that's in the video?
Thank you
Thanks bro 😁
which laser do you recommend best ?
What is your budget, what color do you like, and what are you going to use it for ?
I see 13 lasers and he tested 2 of them?! What about the rest?
Sean Smith In the video before this one
What is the highest power laser that will not damage your eyes? I always thought the visible beam lasers were so awesome and would like to get one. Are visible beams more powerful and will one accidental look damage your eyes? Great videos btw.
5mw green is really visible and is considered safe. I still would not look directly into the laser. Thank you for the kind words.
If you ebay search "custom 7w laser" you will find a guy that makes them. With real drivers and lens.
One is like 229.99 for a 3 or 4w output. (7w diode)
Thats crazy powerful. I believe he has one with the full 7w for like 600.
They are nice too.
Can you please provide a link so I can buy the second laser please ?
ebay item number 222322895056 . Just search on ebay for that number.
Great video
Thank you Foni.
What laser would you recommend for bird deterrent?
The laser at 3:50 in this video will do the job. The problem it can be harmful to the birds eyes and also to yours. If you wanted to get one please make sure you wear the proper safety glasses and try not to blind the birds. Thanks for watching.
Ok, Thanks Michael.
Can you please give me the link to this one? Thanks.
I recently bought one that looks like the second one you showed. The one i bought was also listed as a 960-B 450nm for $62 although from a different seller but has excellent feedback. It was also shipped from china. How has yours held up since making this video?
Still working very well. The button feels a bit cheap, but it still works.
Michael I also just ordered this laser from a different seller for $62. I have the same question haha, how well does this laser hold up for you? And is there any clarification as to what type of lenses this thing has? Also do the batteries fit snug? Thanks a lot for your help!
It has held up really well. The batteries do fit a little loose. It does have an adjustable focus, but no other lenses come with this laser.
Michael For the lenses part, I meant as to whether you knew it was a three element glass or g-2 lens; sorry for the misinterpretation. You said in the other replies that the button feels a bit cheap; is it a bit loose? And how long can this laser diode run in times of seconds after you turn it on? Thanks a lot for the info!
just received it. definately a watt and half. for sixty bucks i'm impressed.
Hello Mca0824, Just bought the Green Laser (23.95$) from Coptel_Technology yesterday. Are you still satisfied with this Laser ? Do I really need Glasses with this one ? Any suggestions about Best Batteries ? Thank you for these great Videos !
Hello, I still have mine and it is still working. As far as the glasses, it is always best to wear them when dealing with lasers over 5mw. The green laser is probably between 40 and 80mw. That power can do harm to your eyes. If you are just using it outdoors at night, you could probably get away with it. But indoors, even the reflected light off a glass can do harm to your eyes. Mainly just be careful and you should be find.

Hey Michael, great videos on laser pointers.
I’m looking for a really good quality high powered laser.
I’m an amateur astronomer and I’m looking for a laser to use in conjunction with a Telescope.
I’m looking for a high quality, high powered laser; not just some junk eBay special.
A made in the USA laser would be nice... I’m really not interested in a piece of Chinese junk. Ha ha
I’m even open to an AC powered laser...
What are your recommendations?
Thanks for making such great videos and keep up the good work! 👍🏻 - John
I really like my Jetlaser now that I have it repaired. They are very high quality and reliable lasers. They also have a high price tag. As far as lasers made in the US, you are probably not going to find anything higher than 5mw. For the price you should check into a Thor 2 laser . You can get one of those for about $70. They are very strong around 1300mw, so you really need to be safe while using them.
Did you ever find a laser ?
@@mca0824 Nope & honestly I quit looking 🤪🤷🏼♀️
@@John_C007 Don't give up. Those stars are not going to watch themselves. Well since we are made of stars, we are a way for the universe to watch itself. I stand corrected.
Do laser pointer optics wear out over time?
Yes they can. The diode usually goes first.
What about American companies selling lasers this powerful? I don't want to wait potentially 2 months.
American companies cant make and sell lasers this powerful to normal people. The highest for sale to most people is 5mw.
Hi, I'm doing some research into the use of lasers in my profession, can we talk?

Hey Michael I hope this reaches you I was wondering if you had some information on a good laser for star gazing my buddy and I have been looking for years and his birthday is coming up I really want to get the best one I can for it. Thank you again for the great info!
Are you just looking for a laser to point out stars ?
Yes for star gazing but also want to make sure it’s strong enough for fun too lol he’s a bio chemist so he knows the severity but I did try laser pointer pro before watching your videos and now I’m concerned they have my info and keep sending me things about payment

the first laser you show cost like 6 dollars on aliexpress
go to alibaba and see how hover price every laser are on the other site

I wish I could get some of these lasers
which one do you want ? Watch about 100 ads and click on them and I will send you one for free.
They would have to be ads on my videos. Have a good one.
mca0824 I'll watch 100 ads for a free 520nm or 532nm. higher powered greens are rare
I will be watching my ad count. If I make enough from it I will gladly send you one. I don't do this for profit, but I cant send it to you for free. Have a nice day.
So what high powered laser do you recommend?
The second one in this video is well worth the price. It did take 60 days to arrive. The Chinese New Year is going on now so be prepared to wait even longer.
mca0824 Ok I might get a different one then.
I have heard the Thor m2 is a good option for a high power laser. You can get it in a week.
mca0824 Ok thank you that will go on my list
kawasaki for life I have the Thor M2, and I can assure you, it is A beauty
how long does the charge last on the laserbest?
Maximum power drops off after about 8 minutes. Since this laser should only be used for a few seconds at a time that is rather good. The laser will stay strong on a charge for about an hour. But the burning ability drops off after about the first 8 minutes.
bought one thanks for the info...it has shipped and says it will be 10 days
got my blue laser and it says 2000mw on it and class 4b...this thing is bright as hell...I put in comments when I ordered to give me their most powerful one hehe...I don't have a laser tester though

Doesn't the border customs confiscate this when it arrives to America?
I have always received mine.
They usually lie and say it’s a low watt laser to make it past

Nothing works, the link does not work, the users do not appear, what happens to you, why it does not put a direct link to the web where I can buy it!
I will look into it. Thanks for the input.
