A family member needs to project a straight line across a floor and wants the line to be there for hours at a time. This gets into an area I've never worked with and wanted to see what others knew.
If this was a single spot, I know that 5mW would be the maximum, BUT because the energy is spread into a line it strikes me that more power could be used safely. The issue with power is no big deal at night, but there are times when this has to run with some outside sunlight coming in and the line needs to show.
The other issue is who sells this sort of thing? I know who to go to for burning lasers, but this is a special application. The line is for a person with a disability. She needs the line to help position herself.
Thanks,
Bob Diaz
