Of course i am not telling that anyone is going to "hit" a satellite with a laser beam, also because they are located ad an average height of 15k miles. But...let's imagine that you, a few nights of the week, glare your 200mw greeny above the stars.. so, it goes up for 10/20 miles... and we all...

So they got simply a CO2 lase from that... :D

The worst thing is the stink of fried chicken coming from your eyes, going down to nose...and you wont be able to see what they're cooking..

Pentobarbital, definitively.

I think has a strong diffuse reflection due to shine surface.

i thought already to water with ink or black paint into a glass cube.. anyway glass, has a partial beam reflection... black anodized aluminium...i dont think is a better choice than cast iron...though, small steak grills are more affordable and easy to get. :) yet, someone may sell painted...

i tried spray paint matte black, not the best choice on any surface for high powered laser with long duty cycle.. they easily get rid of the paint and go behind whats after... i should try with some terrain... still dont know how to keep it in vertical position, anyway !

I was testing several surfaces that absorbe the most of light and energy from high powered lasers, reducing light reflection without getting any damage. I got better results with black stone and cast iron, but they have a general diffuse light reflection, indeed.. not very dangerous for eyes...

You may consider a IR filtered green laser, that has a much more bright green visible beam, less burning features and is definitively more safe for a beginner. (goggle are needed anyway) So, you pay as much as for the spartan, but you get a brighter and safer that suit your needs. Look at this...

After the small "accident": http://laserpointerforums.com/f44/ouch-hurts-so-much-60087.html happened a few days ago, went to a doctor for a vision checkup, that, thanks god and beside all stupid tricks i did with lasers past months, my vision is quite ok, the doctor tested my eyes with a...

Went to a doctor today... everything was ok, except some redness.. but he thinks is more because computer stuff, than laser pointers :) and gave me some eyedrops. He also explained how to do a simple RETINA TEST for the future. thanks again to everyone, hope this helps others too. ciao

Once, police came to me, they didn't ask me to turn it off. They took it AWAY from me, and made a $200 ticket. I was just shining stars on the seaside.

Thanks in anticipation to who reads this post, i would like to info about IR leakage management and have a few question for xperts: 1) Does blue laser around 445/447 have Infrared leakage? 2) Let's say, that i'm going to install IR Filters outside the held of a 532 green, the reflected IR do...

pain and redness are goone, all seems ok now. will make a vision checkup later, to see if everything is ok.

it is possible for sure... but i got a quick reflected flash from the beam of a laser pen on the right eye...and this is a fact. probably i got influenced by the stuff i read around. thats why im not in hurry with a doctor.. if it was something like a spartan or a 400mw, i would have run to...

Probably i am wrong as described as "internal pain", i mean.. the pain was like when you get a phisical hit on the eye. Thanks god this morning the pain is mostly gone, and left place to red eye and watery effect. what a shock was to wake up and see everything unfocused on the right eye.. i...

Got a shot back in the eye reflected from a brown paint some sort of mirrored area, from my 50mw greeny pen... i dont have black spots (i think!) in the view.. but my right eye is just hurting so much since this afternoon... it is 5 hours now, and still is hurting inside... Should i see a...

thought so, but many recent and very powerful laser, such dragon spartan series and olike waterproof series, do not have a key. so, maybe you could fastly remove batteries from them, as long as they generally do not use standard AA or AAA batteries, but 123 or 18650, that may require a bit more...

Once again, just talked a little while to my cousin, asking more advice, and that's what he said: Basically, the 1mw greeny or red, are totally legal, even if they, actually are banned for sale after incident in highways and stadium. Everything till 5mw, can be hold.. and used in public...

Yeah sure that was a very generic violation, something like "using high power emission device in public without authorization", infact just because lasers above 5mw need papers to be used in public and for professional application, bacuse there is not law expressly forbids "possession". Of...
