I thought I'd share my experience with you about the red / green star lasers I received in the mail today from an eBay supplier. I paid around $34 delivered each for them, but that was with a 10% discount the seller had at the time. Link to the actual listing I used is here (won't be there forever so take note of the details).
It comes with an IR remote (to select a few modes and a timer function) as well as a ground spike. The cable is fixed into the back of the (weatherproof) laser housing and is a reasonable 3 metres in length. The included power supply (3V, not 12V as in the listing) has a nice locking 2-pin connector for the laser lead to plug into.
First off, the red output is noticeably less bright than the green and covers a little less area as well. That said, it's still quite reasonable. Note that this is a static pattern (dots) unit. but does have some blinking functions.
The laser housing is about half the size of most others I've seen out there, but is metal with a glass front and aluminium ground spike. I've seen others that are cheaper but reviews have said they are unreliable and poorly made.
I tried pointing it at my house and I reckon you'd cover the average home (1 or 2 story) with only 2 units. Pointing it onto various trees from underneath also gave quite good results.
So, I'm very happy with these lasers and although I haven't run them for a long period yet, they seem well made.
