1) You won't see the Beam or the Beam profile..
2) The safe eye distance for that 2Watt IR laser I would say
is about a mile. I wouldn't want to be any closer without
eye protection...
3) Daylight has no effect on the effectiveness of a Laser
4) You and everyone around you will definitely need Laser
Safety Goggles...

If you have never had a visible Laser >100mW... I would
suggest that a 2Watt IR Laser is not for you...

I tried to find one but I didn't have any luck either. Have you thought about building your own?

For 2W you will need a C-mount diode.
Look here if you don't want to build it

Nobody is selling 2W infrared lasers.
I build a few high power infrared lasers but I would not sell them. They are not toys.

You really should hear them out, you need more experience with lasers and should already know the answers to the questions your asking in your 1st post long before you get a 2w IR. IR's are very dangerous, and can easily blind people

you wouldnt believe that i reading and reading but sometimes ppl say contradicting info that is why i ask the questions in the first post . i always threads read on this forum and its only recent that i signed up . where im from (trinidad) its like 7 to 1us so when i see a deal i take it but i would really like it if i get someone who custom builds also .
