Don't worry - I've heard the glasses point loud and clear! I have a pair incoming. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd find an *active* forum of laser enthusiasts. The wonders of the internet... Yes, would be interesting to compare.

Thanks all, very insightful! :)

Thanks! Time to buy me some matches :devilish: and a smoke machine...

Will give that a shot, thanks for the reassurance anyway!

OK perhaps I was rash. In a pitch black room there is a faint beam, just not as impressive as I'd hoped. I think I got mixed up thinking 200mw was sufficient for a red laser - seems a higher wattage needed for a better beam comparable to the greens/violets. Still no ability to test burning but...

I heard Sanwu were metered so I was hoping it would be accurate, but to be honest I have no way of checking at all the actual output. One thing that comes to mind is that I haven't charged it since receiving in the post - perhaps it's just a little low on power but the dot is super bright. Just...

Can anyone assist on my post in 'red lasers' - absolute noob here! feeling like an idiot haha
