0.08mW red laser from DX??

Look out Arctic, you've got some serious competition coming your way!
DealExtreme: $15.80 Mystery B01 0.08mW 650nm Red Laser Sight Kit with Pistol/Rifle Gun Mount and Pressure Switch

But seriously, how viable do you think 0.08mW is?? This seems totally useless. Then I thought maybe it's for pitch black indoors, but even then, 0.08mW? I'd imagine that would be just a dim red light upclose..
maybe this is what DX does when customers return their LED'd dilda lasers that they've unsuccessfully potmodded.

According to some of the reviews (although there's no way to know if they're real or not) it's actually quite visible.

If anyone plans on buying this make sure you have safety glasses. JK!! 650nm is already not that bright. This is just sad!

yeah I just read some after posting this, and apparently it's as bright as someone's 5mW keychain laser.
But as someone else had said, the warning/hazard sticker is pretty useless.

Holy shet!!

I'm gonna buy one, if it's not goddamn EXACTLY 0,08mW I'm gonna sue DX.

Even if it turned out only to reach 1mW then it's overrated by more than 1000%!!! Unheard of!

They totally lied, it looks like. 5mW. Now that's not exciting. If it was actually 0.08mW i'd get it, just because.

I think they meant .08W. Or 80mW
