Hey there, new here so just saying hi. I've been researching lasers for the past couple weeks trying to help my son with a science experiment. Lots of useful info here so glad I stumbled upon this forum. Cheers.
:wave: Welcome to the Forum...
Tell us a little about your son's project.
BTW... Even though you mentioned it...
adding your Global Location to your Profile
would be helpful for future references.
Enjoy your stay and be Laser Safe.

Thanks for the welcome, everyone!
While I appreciate and understand your words of warning, please believe me when I say that I have taken all of the necessary safety precautions and am very well aware of the strength of a 1 watt laser. I understand and am adhering to the laws and regulations governing laser use in my area. I am not going to hand my son such a device and send him out to play with his friends on a Friday evening. It is quite frankly frustrating and off-putting that many here instantly assume that I don't understand how strong a 1 watt laser is and that I need to "read more" about laser safety and regulations. I can assure you that I have spent a great deal of time researching lasers lately and was initially quite hesitant to even let my son create such an experiment. However, he's been expressing interest in studying physics and lasers in university for quite some time now, and I want to encourage him as much as possible. I appreciate and understand your words of warning, but I am beginning to feel rather unwelcome here. Really, if I were the type of person to disregard laser safety, I probably wouldn't have taken the time to create an account on such a forum in order to research and seek advice from laser experts. I would probably just have purchased some garbage from WickedLasers and called it a day. So thanks for the warnings, but trust me: there will be no damaged retinas on my watch. :thanks:
