No, it's not.It's powerful though. :it may not look bright, but in reality it is.

Lower powered single mode diodes probably have a round-ish beam, like red or blu-ray diodes.The higher powered one, that are multimode (>500mW) have all sorts of weird shapes.I guess it depends on the diode.The really powerful ones, like the multiwatt "bricks" project a long rectangle, almost like a line.
