ok, got last week but was away, this thing is SIKKKK, im amazed at how far you can see the beam, id say way over 20-30 miles easy, I do need to send back, as after 3-5 min it drops to 50% power, but they said they will just ship me a new one (must have a defect), great service. this is the handheld unit, but I think I want to get a fixed mount laser.
My friends where blown away at the power, Steve, id get one for sure!!
also waiting for some more optic crystals to bend the beams,etc...the beam spliter works great though, guess im a lazer geek now
I'm a bit worried about some of the previous posts though, I don't want to blind someone or set fire to the woods..

Get a 4.9mW laser. I just placed an order for a 4.9mW fixed mount laser that projects about 100 diff. laser shows. Wont harm anyone or burn your house down. I am going to mount in a tree in my backyard and project it on the lawn or pool...just the right amount of power, or get LED light sets, these are very very cool.

Do me a favour please then Ed, Try and take a vid for us..I wanna bounce laser beems off our river..We see all these good lasers on line for sale but I cant find any 'Demo Videos'..I'd appreciate it if you could do that for us...

This guy I know from another non-music related forum built his own green laser. He said he programmed it to change effects with the music. Here is a vid of his....
This is what he said.." made it myself. The box is kinda a joke it had some lame sewing machine light in it with some not so cool plastic color filters. I disassembled it and took out all that redundant crap and added a real laser. The laser itself is a PPL 532nm green and @ 185mw it burns things. Not joking. It's range outside is limited by the curvature of the earth. It's actually illegal to have outside because it can blind you faster then you can blink.
With that said HELL YEAH it's fun and I'm safe with it"

This is me operating them.... rather good ones too.
People go nuts for them in breakdowns...
Ill find out the model for you Steve, but likely to be expensive.... Ill have a poke around and see whats good for performance vs cost- some real boxes out there not worth the metal they are made from...
Personally I think the LED light boxes I use can be more effective - ill try searching for a vid of them....

Andy, one of them is exactly what we want...

Ill do some digging for you.......

lasers = or > 5mW (class IIIb or grater) output power are hazardous if looked at for more than a few ms. the beam has to be dispersed, diffused or the laser has to change direections faster than a few ms in order not to cause any eye damage.
it could be the reason why many clubs do not have lasers (after all a couple thousand dollars for a nice laser is not too much)
maybe some states require licences of some sort ?
anyone know?

I was wondering whether We'd need a permit or not..That's a good point..
