looking at buying a laser vortex for this years halloween bash but have a strange question that i could do with some help understanding
2 different sellers are claiming different ways are better at powering the laser module

Unlike other sellers, my version does not have that annoying break in the vortex funnel that you see spinning around and around, mine is super small and compact, it is super light, it is whisper quiet & I paint it black to be concealed in the dark. I purchased some of the other sellers vortex's & they are big, bulky, loud, have colored lights on the fan which takes away from the haunt, they are not painted & have a faulty design that causes that annoying spinning break in the vortex funnel. Also we stopped soldering the laser to an a/c adapter plug for the wall because the lasers kept burning out after several uses (we tried all different amps/volts as well). So BEWARE of other sellers who do this and mark up the prices, because these lasers are not meant to be wired to a wall plug; for they WILL burn out on you FAST!!! I pride myself on the time & quality I spend on the parts & build of my vortex... Home made quality!!!

Others are trying to sell you similar units that run off batteries..... I've spent countless hours with different configurations, both battery operated and AC powered. Who wants to fool with batteries? Especially AAA batteries?? The AAA batteries last about 30mins, and in colder climates (which usually is the case during that time of year) they are even shorter lived!
Don't try and save a few dollars by buying the cheapest, in the long run, you're going to spend more on batteries!
AC power is a problem some say.... Anyone that knows anything about electricity, knows that 3volts DC is 3volts DC! Whether the source is coming from a battery, or an AC powered converter, the voltage is the same regardless!
so who is right mains powered lasers or battery laser
shipping is expensive to the uk so i want to make sure i get the better unit
any thoughts are much appreciated
