How many mW to be visible at night with blu ray?

[cod4pwns08]

Hey guys,


So I'm thinking about getting an 8x diode, and I was wondering at what mw range would it be visible at night? Could you reccomend me a diode that would be visible at night? Thanks. I'm kinda new to this whole thing and I'm new to LPF, so use laymen terms please!


Thank you!

P.S. I just got interested in blu ray lasers.

Leave the 8X till you have a little more experience.

I had a 200 mw 6x and it was visible at night. The 8x set to kill at 500+ mw should be very nice looking at night.

It will be much cheaper to buy one already harvested.
If you use the search button with the term 803-T it sshould give you a lot of information.
