@kumbah2006 Thanks, was just wondering. I have the true 5 mw one and I can also see the beam a little in a dark room (not pitch black though).

@kumbah2006 - search ...s orry! :)

@MrRunescape2go - I would be careful with that ... if you dearch for Dragonlasers, they will advice you the same. Inexpensive lasers tend to not have the IR filters, which tends to be more dangerous to the user than one with a filter.

@tutsin - yes, we aren't lucky enough to be able to get anything over 5mw from DealExtreme any longer.
-
@Timei ... yes, but it's very faint - the 35mw beam is easier to see - adding "smoke" via burning an incense helps to bring out the beam's coherence, which is why some light shows use fog. :)
-
Could you actually see the beam of the 5mW yourself?

do u live in the us

@Dandaman1357 ... this doesn't look like something I can read. Wish to try again? :) lol
At what mW does a laser start to burn?

@CaptainAwesomeJr - it's my understanding that you can get burning lasers starting at around 75mw, any lower and the time it takes to get "burning" is increased (or at least less likely) - haven't seen (or used) anything over about 40mw (personally) so I cannot tell you. Perhaps someone on here can point you to a video with more info.

nice.

@Reagggyman - I rather like the higher-powered one myself, but it's also brighter and possibly more dangerous to be looking straight at the dot ... I usually wear sunglasses to cut out the glare, which isn't that great protection against the more dangerous aspects of the laser light. :)
