Professional 50mW red laser pointer

The lowest-cost professional unit we stock

Every product in our professional range shares the same platform: a rechargeable 18650 cell, a charger, keyed operation and a hard case. This is the least expensive way to buy into it. If your requirement is a durable, rechargeable pointer for regular working use rather than the maximum possible output, the 50mW red is the sensible starting point at £29.99.

Where red at this level makes sense

Red diode technology is the oldest and cheapest of the three colours, which is exactly why it is the right choice for a lot of everyday work. Indoors, across a warehouse, a plant room or a large hall, a red beam is entirely adequate and there is no benefit to paying for green. Red is also the discreet option: in settings where a vivid green beam draws more attention than the task warrants, red does the same job quietly.

Running costs

The difference between this and a AAA pointer shows up over months rather than on day one. A unit used daily gets through disposable cells steadily; here you drop the 18650 on the charger at the end of a shift and the consumable cost disappears. For anyone issuing pointers across a team, that is usually the deciding argument.
