Laser Pointer Forums - Discuss Laser Pointers | High Power Lasers

I started with a 5mw red laser, which I mostly remember annoying my cat with but there were obviously other cheapies I've goofed around with.

I eventually bought a Wicked Lasers' (yeah, I know...) ~35mw greenie about ~10 years ago. I loved it and my friends & family were surprisingly impressed by it. It eventually broke, for reasons.

Safety & my impact on others are an obvious concern since I'm an adult, but these concerns are well-addressed and I should need no assistance.


I'm a well-versed forumite nerd in certain topics, mostly participating in knife forums but I browsed CPF (and own an HDS high-CRI, orange ceracote flashlight) so I kinda know how things work... I'll mostly be quiet unless I've got something useful to say.


I plan to buy a Sanwu pocket 520nm greenie at 150mw.

My primary (laser) interests are divergence & device longevity.

Thanks for existing, LPF and it's users.
