Powerful Laser Pointers – ACE Lasers 5–500 mW, Class 3B

Powerful laser pointers for professional and serious outdoor use

ACE Lasers is a range of powerful laser pointers in green, red and violet, built for people who need a dot or beam that carries well beyond the reach of an ordinary pointer. Our pen-style models deliver 5–50 mW and our Pro models 50–500 mW, all classified as laser class 3B. They are used by farmers and land managers for bird control on large areas, by astronomy clubs and stargazing guides, and by outdoor professionals for signalling and pointing out distant objects. We sell to adults aged 18 and over and to businesses. A high powered laser pointer is a serious tool, so every page in this shop explains not only what a laser can do, but also how to use it responsibly.

Our range at a glance

• High powered laser pointers (50–500 mW): the AGP, ARP and AVP Pro series with a rechargeable 18650 or compact 16340 lithium-ion battery and charger. The AGP-3 Pro is our most chosen model.
• Pen-style lasers (5–50 mW): the AG-1, AG-2, AR-1 and AV-1, powered by two AAA batteries. Simple, light to carry and ready to use without charging.
• VEX-1000 Pro: a 500 mW violet high-power professional laser in a sturdier 10 × 4 × 4 cm housing.
• Batteries and charger: PowerFox 18650 (6800 mAh) and 16340 (1800 mAh) batteries and a charger for both sizes, one battery at a time. Plus two red-dot pet play lasers for cats and dogs.

How to choose a strong laser pen

Colour: green, red or violet

The human eye is most sensitive to green, which is why a green laser pen at 532 nm looks the brightest and gives the longest visible range for the same output. Green is the usual choice for bird control and for pointing at stars. A red laser pen has a shorter visible range but some users prefer the red dot for contrast against green surroundings. A violet laser pen at 405 nm appears dimmer to the eye than its output suggests and makes fluorescent materials glow; it is a specialist colour rather than a first choice for long range.

Pro or pen-style

Choose a Pro model (50–500 mW) when you need maximum reach in daylight or at dusk, for example to move birds across open fields. Choose a pen-style laser (5–50 mW) when a visible beam at night and good reach at dusk are enough, as with most star tours. As a rule, use the lowest power that does the job: it is easier to control and safer for everyone around you.

Battery: rechargeable or AAA

Pro models use a rechargeable 18650 cell (or a 16340 cell in the compact Mini versions) and come with a charger. Pen-style models run on two AAA batteries, which are included and easy to replace anywhere. Our blog post on 18650, 16340 and AAA batteries explains the differences in detail, and the laser finder helps you narrow down the right model in a few questions.

What our customers use them for

• Bird control on large areas: a green beam moving towards a flock is perceived as an approaching threat. Farmers use it to keep geese, pigeons, crows and starlings away from crops and buildings, keeping the beam low and well away from roads, houses and the sky.
• Astronomy and stargazing: in a dark sky the beam of a green laser appears to touch the stars, making it the clearest way to point out constellations to a group.
• Long-range outdoor work and signalling: marking a distant point, guiding a team at dusk or signalling your position in an emergency.

Safety and your responsibility

A class 3B laser can damage the eye instantly, including through a reflection from glass, water or metal. Never aim a laser at people, at the eyes of animals, at vehicles or at aircraft, and never into the sky near flight paths. Wear laser safety goggles rated for the wavelength you use, keep the laser locked away from children and remove the safety key (where fitted) when it is stored. These lasers are not toys and are sold only to adults aged 18+ and to businesses. The rules on owning, carrying and using lasers differ by situation; as the buyer you are responsible for complying with UK law. Please read our laser safety guide before first use and our guide to choosing laser safety glasses.
