    Minimum eye-safe distance?

    Oh! My sincere apologies my friend, I understand now:) I too have always wondered this to be honest. I think it depends on many factors, such as mw/watts of the laser, wavelength, divergence, weather conditions, and distance. In my mind, I imagine, say, a 100 mw laser appearing as a...

    Insane 110wat laser (need help building PSU )`

    I'm certainly interested, especially as an aspiring mechanical engineer. That's a nice laser pointer you have there, too bad it doesn't have a pocket clip:D

    808nm laser or IR flashlight

    The boys over at LPF presented a diagram showing the absorption of laser light by the eye. Visible light passes the lens and is focused onto the retina. Ultraviolet light the same thing. Now, with infrared lasers, however, the infrared wavelength is absorbed by the lens, and does not pass to...

    Possible eye damage from 1mW laser line?

    I'll be honest, when I was a kid I would also take a peek at those welding lights, but then my father would scold me and tell me to turn away. But why do welds cause eye damage exactly? I thought the real danger was molten metal getting in your face and eyes...

    Possible eye damage from 1mW laser line?

    Well, I was exaggerating a bit of course, I like to encourage others, especially when a mindset can play a critical role in healing and resilience. I know it is possible to hurt one's eyes with even a 0.5 mw, but very rarely does it happen, because either ignorance or plain dumbness may cause...

    Possible eye damage from 1mW laser line?

    The sun looks happy:) Less than 1 mw, and it's a leveling tool, so the beam is spread out, not a tiny dot like other lasers. Honestly dude, you're fine. The indirect sunlight you're eyes were receiving is more powerful than that...

    Just received the 1.6W blue color orianth laser flashlight and laser sword. Superb!

    Just received the 1.6W blue color orianth laser flashlight and laser sword. Sup I prefer things anodized, but the bare aluminum seems classy:) Just make sure you don't use it to play with your pets, as one member put it, if you do, they'll only chase it once:D

    CNI GLP-593.5 Review

    Dubois, I just realized what you meant! Before I posted it, I could have sworn I pressed cntrl-V twice, but when I went back I didn't find the duplicate:D References to LPF were taken out, I do respect both forums, and know I probably shouldn't have done that:) Thanks a lot for letting me know...

    CNI GLP-593.5 Review

    Hey guys, As a flashlight community, we believe lasers are cheaters when it comes to throw, because they are inherently better throwers. But poor lasers, let's see what they got, Shipping The CNI GLP-593.5 (GLP – Laser Pointer; 593.5 – 593.5 nm wavelength) and a pair of safety goggles (more on...

    Help with getting a CO2 Laser for work

    Getting a CO2 laser like that is like going skipping small arms and buying heavy artillery, there are too many components and dangers, you must know what you're doing, especially at these outputs, Cheers:)

    Practical uses for handheld lasers - What do you use your Laser for?

    Nope, I definitely don't doubt it. IIRC, you have to take classes and that totals to I believe several hundreds of $. But LSOs are mainly used in laser shows, with people without appropriate laser safety goggles. laser enthusiasts usually, and I say usually because I've read of a few accidents...

    Practical uses for handheld lasers - What do you use your Laser for?

    Oh, sorry for the confusion, I meant to say that yes, irresponsible and unsafe use I suppose may well be near 90% for people that buy those "fun" lasers:) I'll check out your link, thanks!:) Cheers:D

    Practical uses for handheld lasers - What do you use your Laser for?

    Well, for one that 99% "don't practice safety measures" statistic is obviously an opinion, however, it may be close to generic 5 mw lasers that are available in box stores, though I bet they output more like 0.5 mw, because companies know the general public have no idea of the real danger of...

    Practical uses for handheld lasers - What do you use your Laser for?

    I don't know, I guess maybe a 500mw may be a good survival laser to start fires an stuff, as long as it uses common batteries (AA, C...) Self defense might be stretching it though, it's not very nice blinding any sort of living thing with eyeballs. Signaling rescuers, other people or I guess...
