The "best" color laser depends on your specific needs and priorities.
Here's a breakdown to help you decide:
-
Green Lasers:
- Pros: Significantly brighter and more visible, especially in daylight and well-lit environments. Ideal for outdoor use and larger indoor spaces where visibility is crucial.
- Cons: More expensive than red lasers and typically have a shorter battery life due to higher power consumption.
-
Red Lasers:
- Pros: Cost-effective, offer longer battery life, and are suitable for indoor use. Compatible with most laser receivers, which is important for certain applications (e.g., surveying).
- Cons: Less visible than green lasers, particularly in bright lighting conditions.
Therefore, the choice boils down to visibility versus cost and battery life. If you need maximum visibility in various lighting conditions, especially outdoors, a green laser is preferable. If you're primarily working indoors, have a limited budget, and prioritize battery life, a red laser is a good choice.
