And I am pretty sure that the law in the US is that everytime a club puts on lasers (like when pacha has stellar design over) they have to go through the govt to get a permit, which is for that night only. i think. and any laser over 4.9kw is illegal unless you have a permit. |
4.9KW?? that is probably input power to the laser, what matters is the output. I dont really know how much power the lasers in the clubs output, but 4.9KW sounds a lot.

I know the guys that do the lasers for the big shows in nyc.. A few notes:
1.. If it's outside, they have to register with the FAA
2.. Their lasers are in the 15-40 WATT range.. no milliwatts with the pro stuff
3.. The big laser uses something like 5-10 gallons of water a minute to keep it cool. Water in = standard cold temp, water out = hot enough to use for coffee.
4.. The laser setup used for Armin on Saturday actually scorched hair and punched a hole in the shirt of the guy who set it up..
5.. I'm not sure specifically about permits, but they do have to be licensed to run/buy/rent the equipment.

that's probably 4.9 watts.. though even that much is pretty crazy for a regular person to have..
4.9 KW would be in the weapons range..
And keep in mind this is all output power.. to get 5 watts out, you might need 50KW in at the wall socket..
