Hi guys!
So this is my first post on LPF. There won't be too many of them, because I'm not really into the lasers (more flashlights, a lot safer :yh.
But the thing is: I picked up this cheap ~5mW green laser pointer from DX to use with a science project I'm doing.
The project went fine, and since it has been collecting dust in the drawer. When I last took it out, I noticed a lot of 'spill' in the beam. There is just a cloud of light around the laser. I don't like it!
How do I get it out?
PS: I do respect the dangers of lasers. Some kid at school was selling >200mW lasers from DX and was frequently shining into people's faces with it. I took a hammer to it. That's why I bought the lowest wattage from DX and I don't 'play' around with it that much.
Thanks!
