Strong red laser pens for outdoor pointing

A strong red laser pen gives a bright red dot that many users find easy to pick out against green vegetation. In our range you choose between the pen-style AR-1 with 5–50 mW on two AAA batteries and the rechargeable Pro models ARP-1 Pro and ARP-2 Pro Mini with 50–500 mW. All are laser class 3B.

Honest advice: if range is what matters most, green is the better colour, because the eye is more sensitive to green than to red. A red laser of the same output looks dimmer and is visible over a shorter distance. Red is the right choice when you specifically want a red dot, want to signal with two colours, or want to complete a set. The AG-1 + AR-1 + AV-1 set gives you red, green and violet pen-style lasers in one order.

Not sure? Our article high-power laser range by colour compares green, red and violet in practice. All high-power models are also listed under high powered laser pointers.

Safety: class 3B lasers can injure the eye instantly, also via reflections. Never aim at people, animals, vehicles or aircraft, wear suitable laser safety goggles and keep the laser away from children. As the buyer you are responsible for complying with UK law. Read our laser safety guide before first use.

Frequently asked questions

Is a red laser pen less powerful than a green one?
Not necessarily in output, but it looks less bright to the eye. That is why a red dot is visible over a shorter distance than a green dot of equal output.
Does the AR-1 need a charger?
No. The AR-1 runs on two AAA batteries, which are included.
