200mw 405nm vs 50mw Green, Which is more visible?

[JesseTime]

I just ordered a 200mw Violet Wickedlaser, Im wondering if it wlll be more visible than my true 50mw green laser?

I know the human eye is much more sensitive to green, but at four times the strength, I would imagine that the violet must be pretty intense, right?

Does anyone have both, or ones of similar strength?

I can test you a 100mw vs. 100mw of both but I can tell you right now that 405 is barely visable. But, it is useful as you can do some pretty neat tricks with it.
Try using this calculator for lumens ( which is a measurement of the strength of light )

at them powers the green is still going to look brighter. but the 405 will burn much better so be carfull

~150mW of 405nm is about as visible as 5mW of 532nm.

~820mW of 405nm is about as visible as 40mW of 532nm.

Those comparisons aren't in any way scientific, they are just what is apparent to my own eyes, comparing the lasers I have. Needless to say the 405nm burns everything...
