Hi everybody, first time poster here. I used to read the site a lot back when the Arctic Spyder III was just coming out, but not since then.
I've owned laser pointers before, but nothing more than the cheapest thing you could buy on eBay or those really horrible gold ones that come with multiple tips.
I bought my first green laser pointer the other day on eBay. It cost just under 6 dollars and the maximum power is >5mW.
Here is the link: New 5mW 532nm Green Beam Laser Pointer Pen Gift - eBay (item 280667838021 end time Jun-28-11 08:04:39 PDT)
How much brighter will this be than those cheapo red lasers? I read that the green laser will appear much brighter than the red lasers.
I am wondering if I will be able to see the beam at night without fog or smoke.
I assume this laser is not suitable for having my dog chase it around as it is much brighter than the ordinary red lasers (which I also bought one of).
I know 99% of this forum is for higher powered laser pointers (or at least ones over 5mW), but I am not looking for anything serious, just something to play around with.
I have no idea what I'm actually going to use this laser for, so if anyone has a list of things I can accomplish using this type of laser pointer please direct me to it.
