Hey guys, I'm new on the forums I did indeed read all the stickied topics. I saw the videos of the mW comparisons and the thread on "The goods" and the "Bads" and "The Cheaps". This will be my first laser over 5mW. I've owned multiple 5mW cheapies before. I understand the precautions and safeties to never point it at anybody and to not point it in ones eyes. So enough rambling onto my questions..
Question #1.) How much Mw's would you require Laser goggles for?
Question #2.) For a first laser I would like to get a quality one that has a visibile beam in the day light, which company would be the best? Optitronic LaserNova or Laserglow? I was thinking of getting a 50mW laser.
Question #3.) Do you still need goggles if you're just looking at the beam? And is it only needed indoors due to reflective items such as mirrors door knobs and other shiny objects being potent inside? If I was outside with a 500mW laser would I not need the goggles?
Question #4.) If I'm careful would you suggest I get a higher than 50mW? Heres some of the options I was looking at.

X50 Novalasers- X50 Compact Portable >50mW Laser - X-Series - Novalasers Inc.
Optotronic 55mW-http://www.optotronics.com/proddetail.php?prod=Opto55
(They support a upgrade deal if the lasers are in great condition for up to 85-90% off if you trade up. Which I think would be ideal if I want to upgrade!)
Any suggestions? Thanks ahead!
