Other than the obvious, what is the difference in the green and red laser? Pros / Cons? Also is this a high performance or traditional light?

I think Green is easier to see in daylight than red. Green also cost considerably more. The TLR 4 has a basic light I think about 110 lumens. It does the trick. I also have a TLR-2 HL and its extremely bright at 630 lumens.

Green lasers are easier for the eye to see and usually more expensive. As for the light, it is an LED light and very bright. It lights up a dark room very well. It's not as bright as some of the other more expensive lights but for this price point your not going to find a better value.

I use my Streamlight on my home protection handgun, so I actually prefer the red laser. Typically, green lasers are better for brighter/outdoor environments, and I bought this product specifically for indoor and predominantly night time defense. The LED light is plenty bright, and the red laser is still highly visible, even when the light is on. I would think that red would actually be more visible than green in this case. All in all, I am very satisfied with the performance and price of this product.

Not very well. If your interested in a daytime laser my suggestion would be buy a green one instead of red.

I personally never use the green dot but it is a nice feature to have. Some say the green light is easier to see but I guess it would be your personal preference.

The one with the green laser is the pro model, it's laser is more visible in daylight, also it has a metal upper, instead of polymer. This gives the pro model a weight almost identical to a real glock.

It depends on the intended use. The green is better during daytime while the red at night. Either way it is an awesome sight. Also it depends on if the person is colorblind which one to choose.

BY "Dual Illumination" I'll assume switching from a red to a green dot. Against a red background, green is easier to see, and vice versa. Have no problems with reflection and glare.

this is a red laser. i dont know the difference bewteen the V3 &4. i have other lasers that i like much better. having had both, i will only buy green lasers. the only advantage of this laser is the size. not easy to adjust the laser and keep accurate. but it has its place, so i use it. i have 2 of the barska glx's - great product wish it was smaller. good luck

If you want a tactical light and laser in a single unit, you can go with the CMR-205. If you just want the red laser, you can go with the CMR-201.

It is just a laser, but a very bright one very easily seen in bright daylight. I am well pleased with mine.

yes is a lot better then the other dewalt laser..if is too sunny is still hard to see the light

Red lasers can be seen up to about 100 feet outside in the daytime quite well. Above that, depends on what you are aiming at and the target color.

100% green actually vivid green can be seen even in day light. Best laser I have ever owned. My crimson is on a glock 21sf.

I purchased the "cheap" $30 generic laser about 6 month before purchasing the American DJ Micro Galaxian. I was happy with the generic laser until I received the American DJ unit. The American DJ unit is much much brighter, has about 300% more laser beams, has a remote control and has the ability to select only red or only green beams. Very much worth the additional $50 in my opinion!

The layout beam works great, you won't be disappointed in this laser at all on all it's functions. For the price I don't know if you could find a better laser!

It has a green laser that is about 50x's brighter than the cheaper one. Has more barrel adaptors and I believe it is magnetic where the other isn't to make a more secure mount. What they don't mention is the ability to download a simple ballistics program too that let's you print test targets. I think all versions get this but I am sure this one does. Also, the tipping factor for me is this one is the civilian version of the one that the USMC uses. So far so good. Sighted in 3 of my rifles without leaving the house and when I hit the range it took me only 3-4 shots to complete the zero.

First part of your question: They are not the same. Optical mice typically use a red light to bounce off the surface they are at a rate of thousands of times per second and interpret that information acquired from bouncing off the surface as mouse movements. Optical mice are also considered the "older" technology. Laser mice are the "newer" technology, which uses lasers (I believe specifically they are infrared waves [which is why there is no visible light from the bottom of the mouse] instead of the red light waves like in the optical mice) and measures differences in frequencies to interpret as mouse movements. Supposedly this resulted in an accuracy rate many times higher than an optical mouse. I put newer and older in parenthesis because newer doesn't necessarily mean better. As with technology, people get different results. Some people claim to get lag issues from laser mice, and say that the additional accuracy isn't that necessary except for a few niche things. If you are deciding on whichever technology, just go with your preference. I chose this mouse because it was cheap, sturdy, and does the job well. I am not a hardcore gamer, but I have played MOBA games before (like League of Legends), and this mouse does the job just fine. More competitive people may prefer more expensive gaming mice but even those diverge, some being optical and some being laser. Second part of your question: Also, I don't think there is any "better" technology out there besides these two. There is a third version, which is the old trackball, but I don't think you want to go back to that.

Mine is green. The entire reticle is illuminated not just the center. It is very bright even on the lowest setting
