Lexel argon and kryption ion lasers are probably the second most common types available on the surplus market. Depending on particular model and configuration, they are capable of between a few hundred mW and many WATTs of output power and may be fitted with single or multi-line optics. The Lexel Model 75 is a small air-cooled laser.
