Hi All,
I bought a few 1mW laser pointers from Ebay to use in my robot as a laser guidance device.
When I point it at a tree over 1 km away I can see the beam and the dot very clearly and brightly at night. This applies for the green and red lasers. Also if I point it at a white wall or carpet 3m away, my eyes flinch at the brightness.
This seems very bright to me, as I was looking for the lowest power laser I could get my hands on.
Am I going crazy or should I bin these laser and keep looking for a lower power? The lasers are going to be in use indoors on my robot, below eye level for humans, but maybe not for my dog.
Thanks,
Jim.
