Hello folks.
I have decided to join this forum even before messing with any lasers. I enjoy doing VERY simple electronics projects and dabbling with stuff (making LED's light up and flash, making simple circuits etc). I realised lasers are potentially dangerous but this thread here http://laserpointerforums.com/f53/hit-eye-1000mw-445nm- brought home to me just how dangerous and just how out of my depth I could get unless I find out about the safety aspects first. That's why I am here. I intend to first establish what safety equipment I need and can deploy in any given situation, then I intend to do experiments with low powered pointing devices around 1 or 2 mW and graduate to higher powered devices when I feel better prepared and informed maybe some months down the road.
For now I am here to read and learn and be advised. Safety is paramount to me, I already have to wear glasses to read and I hate that. I would hate it even more if by playing with lasers I did more damage and wont even contemplate it unless I absolutely know that before any laser is switched on I have ensured that there is nothing more I could do to maintain my safety and that of other people around me
wat? oh the title of the thread? the green cross man, its a UK thing, he helps people cross the road safely
