Long story short: I live way out in the country and I want a laser that will "spark" a fire from about 10 ft away..........
If I have to / need to use "flash paper" in order to accomplish this - fine. I'm perfectly fine with that.
My main concern is "safety" for not only myself but for any neighbors who might just look out their window at the exact moment I am trying to start the fire.
I have watched youtube videos for 5 straight weeks now and I still don't have the answers I'm looking for. (Lasers are hard - lol) I'm not kidding you - I had a "sales rep" from Sanwu lasers tell me to get the 7W Striker and everything would be perfectly safe for me and the neighbors and I knew based on what I had seen online that was a flat out lie........... and I did not order it.
Since I live in the country, I have a lot of "brush piles" that I need to burn to keep the property clean. I recently had an accident thanks to those new and improved "safety" gas cans ---- and I wound up with 2nd and 3rd degree burns. I have vowed to never let that happen again. So ---- in my head > Build the brush pile and prepare to burn it. Use *Kerosene* / not gasoline ---- and give the pile a good soak in Kerosene. Place a "flash paper" / paper in place ---- step back 10 ft and hit it with a laser for 2 / 10ths of a second, the flash is created, fire > fire....... we're done. Lock the laser away until next time. That's it.
I am actually trying to be the "responsible person" you guys love to preach to... (no offense but you do preach a lot and rightfully so) ----- I'm trying to do things the "right" way and the safest way for me and anyone around me. I know the guy that told me to order the 7w striker may as well have told me to order a nuclear weapon. <smh>
Yes, there are much easier ways to start a fire. I'm aware. ------ But the heart wants what the heart wants. I'm going to get one , one way or the other but I'd really like someone with the right knowledge to tell me exactly which laser / tool to order so I can accomplish my goals and be a responsible human being all in 1. Otherwise I'm calling it a day.........say I tried really hard to get good info and will just order the freakin' 7W striker anyway. (Which is so dumb)
