Hey. I just bought a 30 mw laser from Dealextreme...
Now... I just read that there is a 'IR leakage' in their lasers. What does that mean?
Is it dangerous even if I dont point it directly to my eye? I mean as long as I dont get it reflected by a mirror etc?
And what if it reflects from a long distance (like i stand 50 meters from a car's reflexes lighting at it.. my own car ofcourse! just to test it)...
And if it IS dangerous... Is there somehow I can get a IR filter that is safe? And how does an IR filter look like... is it the cap you can screw on and off? If thats not an option, I guess id have to buy IR protection glasses that costs just as much as the laser itself, right?
Many thanks,
z92
