Invisible. Slight blinding red dot on a surface, but not a true 'color'.

Guys stop trolling him!

He obviously means the Nokia 808. Well, it can come in an array of colours, ranging from black to red!

You can see 808nm at at night....the black 808nm photons cause a sort of black shadow, so the background light is absorbed. With a 808nm beam you actually see the shadow of the beam.
This is exactly the opposite way a torch beam works, the white light photons let through the photons from the background, therfore you can see the beam and background.

Simple physics.

NOTE to anyone reading the post I am quoting: in case you cannot tell, IT'S A JOKE.

Nothing can create the effect of a beam "glowing black" or "forming a shadow".

808nm infrared light is perceived as very dim red, but looking at the dot of a high power 808nm laser without protective goggles WILL BLIND YOU even if the dot seems dim to you. Firing a high power IR laser at a rave party would be EXTREMELY STUPID AND DANGEROUS and would result in many blind partygoers.

When using a high power laser of any wavelength, always make sure that you and anyone else who can see the laser is wearing the appropriate protective goggles.

BLINDNESS IS NOT A JOKE!

Really shouldn't joke around with a question like this imo. It's very important that good and helpful information gets out immediately when a safety issue is concerned, regardless of whether someone is new or not. Thanks Devil Master for doing just that. +1 rep.

Get a 808nm laser if you plan on going blind and not knowing about it.

:thinking::thinking::thinking:

I might be going out on a limb here, but I think I would notice if I had gone blind :na:

I think others might notice as well and would probably bring it to my attention :bday:

Peace,
dave
