Is a dollar tree combo led/red laser pointer strong enough to accidentally damage LCD screens on tv's, computers, cell phones, and etc?
Another concern I have is accidentally hitting my laptops isight camera with the pointer while in use. However at the moment I have masking tape over it, so I am unsure how much of the light would penetrate through.
Honestly I wasn't that concerned about it, but I have read that laser pointers can actually burn holes in screens and camera censors. But they did not specify if the pointer in question was a IIIa >5mW one like mine, or one of the more powerful ones that can light matches.
I also saw someone mention that a brief exposure to a laser could actually colorblind a camera. Is there a way to test if this has happened?
Thanks
