As the title suggest I was wanting to know more about the ins and outs of manufactures assigned duty cycles to laser pointers.
Here are some questions and inquires I have.
How strictly do you adhere to the duty cycle of your lasers? IE. do you estimate how long its been on or actually time your use.
What is the realistic result of running over the duty cycles by factors of say 1.5x, 2x and 3x?
Are there some nm lasers that are more affected by over use than others?
Thanks for your help. Im sure these are very stupid questions to experienced laser hobbyist so excuse my ignorance.
