Why is the Uni-Green so much more expensive than the red Uni-Max?
Commercially-available diode technology does not give green light in a package suitable for laser aiming. To get around this limitation, we use a process called frequency doubling. This process requires an infrared pump diode, various crystals and filters, collimating optics, etc., all precisely aligned and made rugged enough to take recoil and temperature variations. It is a lot of expensive technology to stuff in a package the size of a matchbox, but it gives you the brightest laser allowed by law in a rugged, low-profile unit. Q: Is the green laser visible in daylight? A: Yes, it is much more visible than red or blue lasers in daylight, but it may not be practical in every possible situation. You are better off using a high power scope if shooting at long range on a very bright sunny day. Q: If there’s an infrared pump diode in there, do I have to worry about eye safety? A: LaserMax filters out the infrared so the Uni-Green is eye-safe. However, some manufacturers cut their costs by
