Behold "The Green Laser"
We've all seen the typical cheap red laser pointer, the $5 dollar convenience store one's with the screw on caps. Lets leave that dying red market behind, onwards to the 532nm Green Laser. This Think Series laser is no ordindary green laser, it is 200mW (milliwatts) of durable, submergible, green laser power.
Big deal? We think so, the average green laser pointer on the market is a tiny 5mW and would burn out with a little rain on it. This particular green laser from Thinklasers.com is the Think Series 200mW and will make every other green laser look like a childs toy flashlight.

Design and Features
*SAFETY* Before we get to looking at this Laser there is a few things we should mention about these higher power Lasers. First of all SAFETY is a HUGE concern because of the higher power these Green Lasers can be dangerous. Conscerning eye exposure your eye blinks as a natural defense mechanism but if the laser were to shine directly into your eye, even if just a reflected beam, you can be blinded temporarily or worse.
So, if you have some Laser Protection Goggles, your good to go, if not the Think Series 532nm Green lasers all come with a pair of safety googles.
Basically A Light Saber
This ridiculously powerful laser is probably the closest thing to a light saber any of us will ever get to see. 90 miles + through a clear night sky. That is what 200mW will give you. The diode is also produced with a continuous heatsink, meaning 100% continuous use. So this laser stays brilliant for as long as you want. Not to mention the military stealth waterproof black housing.
With this much power it is important to keep safety in mind. Also, its up to you to comply with all laser laws of your respective nation.
Performance and Testing
On rare occasions, we are genuinely surprised with a products performance or features. Our experience with ThinkLasers products has been one of those rare occasions. This 200mW green laser is the most powerful and impressive laser I've ever seen, hands down.
When I first turned the laser on it was the middle of the day, and I was amazed to see that I could clearly see the beam despite the day light. I also learned quickly how important the goggles were.
Of course I was interested in testing the under water capabilities of the laser. I still could not believe a laser this powerful could be waterproof, so my first test was in a simple fish tank (no fish were harmed). Next, the deepest thing I could find due to the season was an indoor pool. 13 feet deep in the diving well and the laser was working fine. The underwater visuals were spectacular.
I concluded that this was the best laser product I have ever tested before. Not only was it the most powerful laser, it has under water capabilities unmatched by any other laser in the market.

We would like to thank ThinkLasers for providing their amazing product to review. Check out their site at www.thinklasers.com to see their other Lasers, some hand helds even up to 300mW in power!
I wasn't impressed by the quality.
this is a waste of money to buy a lser pointer at that price, you can go onto other websites and buy a green laser pointer that you can see in the day time that is 35-50mw for 100-200$........ THIS IS A RIP!
green lasers can be bought with much more power for much less. and with the numerous grammatical errors on this page, i am less than inclined to order.
