So this all started a few weeks ago when i saw a youtube video of a powerful blue and a powerful green laser. I had looked into lasers years ago(15 or so) but they were no where near this powerful. I wanted one like the ones i saw in the video.
I was into flashlights years ago mainly long throw spotlight types so i guess lasers is a natural progression from there. I seem to have a thing for projecting light at long ranges i guess.
Anyways i started doing research and it appears lasers of any meaningful power are actually very dangerous, which seems very odd, i mean with flashlights even a 50w spotlight blast to the face will just blind ya temporarily but it seems even a 50mw or greater laser can do serious damage. I must admit my feeling for lasers changed at this point when i realized this but im not one to give up ill just take this slowly. I honestly had no idea how careful you need to be.
So any tips for new to laser people?
Also do you people have a support group? i think ive spent $700 on lasers and safety equipment in the last week, and im eagerly awaiting its arrival, this is just like my flashlight addiction 10 years ago.....
