I realize lower powered pointers don't have much of a following here, but does anyone have any good information on how Rayfoss' 10mw compares to NewWish's 10mw pointer? I'm looking for something in the 10mw class to use as an indoor/outdoor pointer. Significant overspec is not a plus (extreme...

How vulnerable are DVD+R disks to higher powered handheld lasers? DVD+R disks are recorded using a 650nm diode laser, so enough mw of 650 will be able to mess up the recording dye enough to make a burned DVD+R unreadable. The only questions are how many mw, at what range, and for how long, it...

I'm looking for a pointer able to shine a spot visible in direct sunlight at a range of 15 feet. Duty cycle will be about 30s on at a time. Will a cheap red or 405nm pointer from somewhere like DX be good enough for this or will I need to step up to a DPSS green pointer like Laserglow's Lyra...
