Re: 1-1.3 watt 445nm Laser Package **ONLY $190 SHIPPED IN THE US**
We recommend a 1 minute duty cycle with the aluminum heat sink, 2-3 minutes with the optional copper version.
I just read the safety stuff. Wow, I had no idea you can face imprisonment if you shine it at moving vehicles. My idea was to only point it at the ground or over the horizon. I also just read about how blue seems to be the most dangerous color in reference to eye damage. I will definitely keep this in mind when operating any blue laser.
Aside from safety, will this laser overheat if turned on for long periods of time? What's the longest amount of time you would recommend keeping the high powered blue laser on for? I have read elsewhere that other lasers even with heatsinks shouldn't be on for more than 30 seconds at a time.
