i just made these in about 20 minutes on paint! now i just need to go to office depot or staples and buy some adhesive printer paper!
I didn't have any luck finding silver labels locally myself, unless you don't care if they are the silver foil type. But if you want to get the silver foil ones, they can be purchased at the following link for $7.95 for 300 labels, you cut them in half and get 600 Silver Foil Labels for your money....I've used these and they work real well.laserlover said:i just made these in about 20 minutes on paint! now i just need to go to office depot or staples and buy some adhesive printer paper!
Legally, your warning label should list the max power your laser can ever produce. Most people will be lazy and label all class IIIb lasers as <500mW even if they are only 6mW to avoid problems. But for hobbyists the warning label doesn't really matter because none of our DIYs ever follow FDA regulations for selling.Sefrez said:They look nice!
One question though. If it's over 5mW shouldn't it be > 140mW not < 140mW?
I thought 5mW was done as < 5mW because 5mW lasers do not supposed to output any more then 5mW. On the other hand, higher powered usually lists the minimum.

That funny looking flashlight or that pen laser that looks just like every other laser on the planet isn't a flashlight or just a normal laser pointer. If there's a sticker then at least there's something to let people know that it's not a toy and to let them know what is REALLY in their hands without them having to turn it on to see what kind of light is going to come out.
Whether people read the label or not is another matter, but at least it's there and they can read to see what they're doing before turning it on and blinding somebody.
