You can get 110mW diodes out of old computer DVD-RW drives. Unfortunately, they are red in colour, not green. Their range is significant, however. I can see mine on warehouse walls over 200m away, in the middle of the day. Not too shabby.
Blu-ray drives for the XBox360 have purple diodes in them, also around 100mW.
They certainly look nice though! Very unique colour, but their visual range is limited.
One day I will finish these builds, and put up a how-to guide. Maybe later this year. I really like the idea of an inline serial key, to prevent accidental triggering. I think I will incorporate (steal) this idea.
