Hey ive been doing some reading here, and really want a laser pointer to play with as far as burning things, and popping balloons. Ive been looking at the opty 150mw, as it seems like a good deal. my 30mw died somehow, like it still works, but has gotten very dim. Even when I first got it it couldnt pop balloons. This will be a large step up, and I just want to ask about saftey.
Obviously hiting someone in the eye with this is a big no no, but accidents do happen, what would happen if a 150mw laser crossed paths with someones eye like for a fraction of a second, obviously the answer to starring into one, is a given.
also, what if say your playing arround with it in a room, and it reflects off a picture frame and his your in the eye for a split second. Is eye protection a must with these no matter what?
also, how long do they usually last with light use? is the 1000 hours ive seen pretty accurate?
