Hello, I recently bought this product from DX, still waiting it to arrive. //dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2390 (add http))
So I have got a few questions;
I hope some of you have got the time and knowledge to answer these questions, I have been lurking alot on these forums but I have not found a solution to this yet. I read some post that said you should only be bothering adding an IR filter when the mW extends 100mW. Well I am not sure as I recently started playing with lasers (only got low powered red ones, thought about buying the 200mW red from DX).
Thanks,

So I have got a few questions;
- It's only 50mW, well, MAX 50mW and it'll probably decrease a bit after it has been used for 2-4 seconds I guess, so should I be bothering adding an IR filter? I will only be using it outside, point at stars, trees, etc. Also it'd be cool to pop some balloons, but if I add an IR filter I doubt this would even be possible.
- The IR filter I have got is not cyan, like most other IR filters are. It's also kinda small, it's from my webcam. It's dark red, I know it is an IR filter as it blocks the IR sent out of the TV remote controller.
- Anyone else with these 50mW Green lasers from DX (not the True ones)? If so, how long did it last before it broke (if it did, of course)?
