I bought 40 green 5mw laser pointers. (the cheap kind off of ebay) I tested them (with the HLPM II) all and their power was all over the place. from 5mw all the way to 50mw. The average was 23mw. The plan is to have these lasers set up on the perimeter of a 6 foot diameter circle shooting...
@diachi, thanks for the info! i'm in the usa. and when you say "direct exposure or reflection" i'm assuming you mean the dot? also, do blue and red laser pen beams have IR? if not, then maybe I should use those just so I don't have to worry at all. Are cheap 5mw blue and red laser pens over...
@gss, so that's my concern, is that since they are more powerful then they should be, there is going to be to A LOT of infrared bouncing around. But you don't think that will be a safety issue if the actors are standing only a foot away from half a dozen beams, looking through them into the...
I plan on having 24 5mw lasers shooting upwards on an indoor stage about a foot away from each other. There will be haze so that the audience and actors can see the beams. (seeing a decent beam with not a lot of haze is the prime objective and thus 5mw.) Actors will be a foot or so away from...
