To be plain and simple. No.

Thanks for the help, I apologize for the terribly worded question! Thought since we were talking about reflection it might be appropriate.

Anytime!

Your question was not terribly worded. There was just a lack of variables but I understood what you meant.

I haven't experienced the power of a 1W+ 445nm laser ever so I'm curious how bright they are to the naked eye.

Well, pictures in peoples' threads are actually a fairly good aproximation of a brightness of high power 445nm lasers.

Well ofcourse, ones that are taken by some normal exposure showing a beam, not over-exposed plasma blades.
