i couldn't find any reviews on this one-so i have a few questions on it..

how bright would this laser compared to a green laser? the calculator only says it would be a 16 mw green laser in brightness? it seems a bit low..
does anyone know the particular or estimated divergence this laser may have?

Yea is not that bright. You can buy real 1W+ laser from our forum for cheap.

1Watt of 445nm is Very bright, Green and Blue are completely different colors. is not that bad you think. You need Safety Googles for protection before buy any laser.

500mW is plenty for your first high powered laser. It will be plenty bright :beer:

I suggest getting a lowered powered laser for your first, a 1W is quite a jump. Usually 50-150mW green is a great first laser.

Same! My 1st was a 150mW (133mW) Lazerer tiny pen. And in fact I found it easier to enjoy as I could point it indoors while my 1W's were hella uncomfortable for indoor use (and probably not healthy as well lol).

True 5mW 532nm is the ideal first laser. With it you can go nuts, and shine at everything indoors. You can learn to appreciate what is reflective and what isn't.

In the dark with a little dust or smoke you will also see a beam.

All of this absolutely safe, can be done for well under $100, and doesn't require goggles!

After that, after you learn what is reflective and what isn't... THEN get a more powerful laser. A ~100mW to 150mW green laser will be perfectly visible at night, will light a match, and pop a balloon.

Only after that move up to 1W+ class 4 monsters.

Personally I went through more of less this path... and I'm glad. You don't want to end up like this guy:

The cyber is a decent model, it's fine so long as you're very diligent about duty cycle. For a bit more you can find better stuff here in the B/S/T section though.

You absolutely do need goggles with a 500mW+ laser. There are several links in my signature.

oh yeah of corse on the goggles i mean 500mw is alot of power...it will definitely be a part of my buy...and as for the duty cycle im so paranoid about that i treat my 5mw like they hace a duty cycle...what would you say the divergence would be for the cyber blue? i know its not as good as green ones..

^ Yup those will cover 445nm, up to 99.8% of it according to its spec sheet. For up to 1W, I'm confident those will be fine, but some might disagree.
