Luxury here,
I was quite interested in getting a laser. My first laser that it. I decided to go with green. Mainly because I did not want to mainly burn things, I love how it can be seen the farthest, especially the beam, and it should be great for pointing in the sky at stars, etc.
I had around $130 to spend.
I was going to go with Wicked Lasers, for there 15mW green nano ($100). I decided to do some looking, and within a few reviews saw people complaining about the shipping time and the total hassle to get there laser. I was kinda disappointed. I wanted a laser, but was not sure if I wanted to order from them. I did some research.
After many sites, I came across, Dragon Lasers. I pulled up there green lasers, and saw they were offering a 55mW green Viper, for $110. I was a little confused to see, them offering 30 more mW, for only $10 more. Then I read a ton of reviews. Literally all of them, said great things, about there shipping time, friendliness, and lasers were great them self, etc. I found who I was ordering from.
I did a tad more looking, and came across this forum. I was so excited to see many people on here, saying, the lasers they have gotten from Dragon Lasers, have been over spec (More mW than advertised I assume), and others saying they have had great lasers from them etc. I knew I was ordering from them. I went ahead and ordered the 55mW green Viper.
It slipped my mind, to even think, if lasers posed a hazard, and if I needed safety glasses. Looking around on here, I find mixed thoughts on the safety glasses, depending on what you do with the laser.
So what I ask. For a few quick tips or things you can tell me or that I should know, about owning and using the laser I ordered. (yes, I have read a bunch of threads and stuff on here, about safety, its a lot to take in, and a few people, telling me a few things would be more helpful)
And if I will need safety glasses, for, "Pointing the laser in the sky, pointing the laser in a wooded area, popping a balloon once in a while, inside or out"
Thanks, Luxury.

Been testing the laser. Put fresh batteries into it. Was pretty bright and could be seen easy in the sky. After about a minute or two it got super dum, and the dot has a half circle a few inches from the dot. Did I get scammed lol? I tried to pop a red and green balloon with no luck. Please help.
