About a month ago I got my pointer from LaserGlow, took batteries that came with it and put them aside and put in a fresh set of Duracell AAA's. I have played with it almost every night and tonight I noticed that the beam really appears too be alot brighter. It is dusk outside and I am in my living room with only a light on in the kitchen and the beam seems to be alot brighter than before. Has anyone heard of this or am I seeing things? :-?
