Hello this is my first laser that i want to buy and i know nothing about it, i've just been reading all the safety threads etc. and i wanted to know some things.
I want a green 1mW laser that is class 2 or 1
Firstly i live in Australia, do you think it will get seized by customs?
The laws say you can't have it in public, what if i don't use it unless i have to? Can i say its for personal safety? like when lost or getting threatened?
Am i allowed to use it in my home? Like shine it outside from my house?
Do i need goggles?
Will it damage my eye in anyway? Like look at beam, dot? (obviously i know if it get your eye and mirror etc.)
What is IR filter?
Where is a good place to buy them? eBay seems to be bad since they sell 5'ers as 1'ers.
Do 1mW go like 1KM? Is it bright? Can see beam easy at night?
Thanks, i'll add more questions if they come to my head.
