finally bought a laser

[shockwave88]

Hey guys!

I finally bought a green laser! i took a couple of months to think about it and i thought i might as well just get it.

So I got this 1
$28.80 - 200mW 532nm Green Laser Pen (2*AAA) - Green Lasers

I know its not the best laser but its the most i could afford in my 30$ price range lol. Now when it gets here i dont plan on using it mostly at all until i get my goggles which i will get soon once i get sum more cash. But i can use it outdoors correct? as long as im super careful and dont shine it at any thing metalic or reflective?

Congrats!

As long as you shine it in the sky (NOT AIRPLANES!) and are careful about it, you should be completely fine. While it's likely nowhere near 200mW, probably best to stick to a short duty cycle. Don't try burning until after you get goggles.

Have fun.

Yes it should be ok to use outside, but you still have to be very careful not to shine it at anything reflective.

Especially DO NOT shine a laser at any kind of street signs of car license plates. Amazing how much light comes back.

Ya you can use it outside but make shure you dont shine it at people, airplanes,helicopters,license plates, glass,windows,headlights. Anything reflective .

But for indoor use you are probably gonna need safety glasses.

And congratz!!!!

Ya thats the worst part. Waiting and waiting and waiting . Especially if it comes late. But if it actully comes in two weeks, thats not that long. Just try to think about something else for two weeks. Good Luck
