    FBI alert on good morning america green laser

    It sounds heavy but I tend to agree. With the gravity of the situation being reported out there, perhaps some of these options are now really worth considering to further our cause and help us set this place aside from sounding like any other commercial entity. Cos if we don't self-regulate, I'm...

    FBI alert on good morning america green laser

    It's not good for laser purists who practice safety. See this article "Laser Strikes on Aircraft on Record Pace" dated this year 2013 Feb which shows a series of 4 graphic videos : - Caught in the Act: Man Arrested for Aiming Laser at Helicopter - Lasers are Causing Pilots to Fly Blind - Laser...

    eye safety question

    Never View Lasers With Binoculars Or Telescopes. Spot on! This post should be made into a sticky. I've searched LPF and no exact advice came up here on the potential danger of viewing lasers with optics. But only this optic company 'LASER GENETICS' did : LASER LIGHT - DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM...

    eye safety question

    Thanks to Blaster and Hakzaw1 for the clarification pls. This is actually a dual scenario here. It starts as a bino user viewing a laser user's dot 100m away. But it could also end up with the laser being collimated into the bino user's eyes once the laser user changes direction and points it...

    eye safety question

    Blaster is right. I'm sure telescopejunkies forums also agree. The risk for retina injury from lasers is even higher with binos. Pls see : HERE "Never view a laser pointer using an optical instrument, such as binocular or a microscope." But the only people likely to persist despite that risk are...

    Hello from Central Florida

    Welcome to LPF! With your locksmithing skills and keen eye for intricate details, you would be a shoo-in for building your own LPM and even a custom laser soon enough! Rem the safety goggles though. Be safe and enjoy!

    Sweden proposes banning pointers >1 mW; asking for comments by Oct 4 2013

    Aka 'catch me if you can'. I agree with Spooky (Dave) on the downside of this meme. But I do appreciate the effort from HD5830Gamer to clarify the quintessential silhouette of a laser pointer. Can you imagine the challenge for an operator of an x-ray scanning machine staring at the screen of...

    Hello from Maryland

    Great attitude! Hope it won't be part of your dog training equipment.:shhh: Youtube is rife with 'cats chasing red dot'. Unless they don shades like the KRNAZNBOY avatar, these acts risk injury to their retinas.

    Hello from Long Island, NY

Pilots are also obliged to report all sightings whether it's in their flight path or not. To promote LPF education and...

    Sweden proposes banning pointers >1 mW; asking for comments by Oct 4 2013

    The nanny state syndrome seems to be getting infectious; with the way this rhetoric and paranoia about the potential threat to planes and public servants. Before long, they may say it's due to counter-terrorism measures even.
