    Default Source for CHEAP laser pointers? – 10-12-2010,07:49 AM


    I need 2 laser pointers to power some laser tripwires. Everywhere I look - no one has them (cheap). I dont care if they are the keychain junk ones - I'm hardwiring them to a power source, as long as it's a laser light that'll trigger a photocell I'm happy.

    On ebay they all ship from HK... which means how many weeks til they arrive?

    Anyone seen them in dollar stores? Walmart? I've looked everywhere I can think locally and the cheapest I'm seeing is $12 for a presentation one. I dont need fancy I need cheap!

    My prop controller is coming together. I have my control box, my motion sensors are built and coded, all my props are wired... I just need 2 laser pointers for the final 2 tripwires and I'm all done. Well, done gathering parts... I get to put it all together this weekend

    Thanks for any tips!

    Try Petsmart or some other pet store. They sell small laser pointers to entertain cats that may do the trick for you.
