I keep seeing posts where people (even experienced members) want even higher powered lasers - I'm missing something as I can't understand why?
I can understand wanting a high enough power for the beam to be brightly visible (in the dark) without fog but that doesn't seems to need anything higher than 500mW except for 405nm. I have a 1W 445nm but I would be happy with less, I have a 50mW 520nm and I have no desire (yet) to have more power.
I can understand those who like burning/engraving/cutting wanting the highest power they can get their hands on but what other reasons exist? Eg: Why would you want a 2W 532nm? Would that have a visible beam during the day?
