Just as I was about to finish playing with my DL 1W Spartan, since my rechargeables got empty, I decided to give it another shot.
Bang! I was hit by a reflection from a white surface at a close range of 1 meter.
:lasergun:
I wasn't wearing my goggles at the time since I didn't expect any emitting at all or at least a very dim one.:tsk:
It appears to be that there was a little bit of energy left in the batteries which was enough to generate a burst of a split second laser radiation that blinded me and immediately faded away.
Apparently, these rechargeables (Yellow 750mAh Tenergy) have a characteristic that makes them gain power for a short period after they're weakening. Perhaps some chemist can explain this.:thinking:
Saw little shadows for a few seconds, but vision seems to be OK now.
Just wanted to share this with you guys and to remind us all of the dangerous toys we're playing with.
I learned my lesson, never operate a 1W at close range without goggles.
