"True" DX 30mW Reviewed - NOT TRUE NEWWISH

Yep. Do/have you taken physics at some point?

Bear in mind that my initial calculations assumed a 5mm^2 dot size though.

Even more interestingly, treating the sun as a point source (quite accurate):
Sun's power at earths surface: ~ 1000W/m^2
Maximum distance from earth: ~ 152 million km
Radius of earth: ~ 6 378.1 km
Radius of our sun: ~695 500 km
Distance between the earth and the sun: 1.51(1.512986219)x10^11m
I = P/4pir^2, P = 1000(4pi(1.51x10^11)^2)
Power of the sun = 2.87x10^26W!!!

Supprising how accurate this is, the 'real value' is 3.6×10^26 W (Our model ignores atmospheric absorption)

interesting thing... if you managed to get 68 centimetres away from a 1,500 watt globe, it's the same as 30mW. Or 68cm from a 50 watt globe is the same as 1mW. Amazing how much distance changes it.

That would mean that the globe actually outputs 50W, but I don't think a 50W lightbulb outpus exactly 50W

Who said anything about a 50W bulb..

k thanks! it may be why lasers are so dangerous, but also why they're so awesome ;D

I did, read the quote

And yes I do take physics, but simple maths is all that's needed. area, multiplication etc, a little common sense i tihnk. I had no idea how to calculate the power of light per surface area but I worked it out logically.

Will a newwish laser have some sort of new wish logo on it? Where?

i apreaciate all you guys are saying. igot the optotronics 30mw. i knew it was dangerous butt s%$# now im afraid to use it without protection, this is my first green and it is impresive, pops balloons "black"

sorry, but how did you arrive at this conclusion? You mention a "you" without stating the absorbing area of "you", so I don't see how your statement is even either right or wrong. Please let me know if I'm missing something here

i wonder y some of them arent actual new wish

I have this laser, but a direct hit in the eye won't blind you, or cause short-term which is good to know. I can't say anything on long term though.
When I got this laser, one of my friends wanted to see it, he's academically below average, but now I know he's intellectually below average, VERY below average. When I handed it to him, the first thing I told him was to be careful, it can blind you. And of course he shines it right in his eye for about 10 seconds, while running away from me. I asked him to check his peripheral vision, and he said he was fine. That was about 2 weeks ago, and he still says his vision is fine. But from now on I'm not letting anyone with a GPA below 3.0 use a laser.
