[ATMoB-discuss] Green Lasers?

[John Maher]

Hi Bernie

     I bought a 25 mw green laser from Howie Glatter and it is plenty
 powerful enough to use at star parties the one he advertises in SKY & TEL
is
 a <5 mw but you can call him at his advertised phone # at 718-796-3203 and
 tell him what you want and what you want to do with it and he will
recommend
 the proper power. The things I liked most about doing business with Howie
 was he is located in New York, he repairs the lasers himself if needed and
 he was a great guy
 to talk with on the phone. I had originally planned on going to wicked
 lasers. Also the 25 mw does not drop off as you described, If you ask him
 about the drop off he will explain why that happens with other green
lasers.
