Yes, this power can blind you easily.

Are they both 50 mW, cuz im considering getting a red 50mW

[renno007]

@DrZirta

Green isn't real 50mW and red one gives about 70mW.

200mw red vs 50mw green who do you thiink is gona burn better?!?!?!

[renno007]

@qrlasers

This is not 200mW laser..much less.

But yes, it's still silly to compare 50mW laser with any other more powerful laser that can be focused to small spot.

But this video shows which laser is better for burning to comparing how much money we invest.

Red/IR lasers are better for burning and green lasers are better to achieve visible beam.

@renno007 ow thanks and violet lasers burn almost the same as ir as I heard BTW want free money technojunkie made a video how to

[renno007]

@qrlasers

BR lasers are also great burners.

They can also burn white things that IR/RED lasers cannot.

But they are more expensive.

my 100mw red laser can only burn nerf darts

@qrlasers Dont be a retard, green is 4x stonger to the naked eye. so 200mw red=50mw green. Red just has more heat power but not as bright as green.

@renno007 Cool... and do you need safety goggles with the 70mW?

Hi I've recently bought a laser from the Czechs ... who also has 50mW but there is no heat in some way ... how can I make the stuff (paper can burn) ... with magnifier lens and Microscope I been trying in vain

[diegoribadacunha]

your lasers are like 20-30mW green and 100mW red ^^
