Hello all,
I just received this laser. It's the one that takes two 16340 batteries that some members here reviewed a while back.
This is my first laser, and I was looking for something SAFE, hence attracted to the 520nm 5mW specs. No IR to worry about, and forum members who tested this laser found it to be close to spec.
But this laser looks surprisingly bright to my eyes, and the color looks more like some pictures I've seen of 532nm. Having no other laser to compare it to, I have no way of knowing.
Is there any way, without equipment, that I can tell that I got a 520nm instead of a 532nm DPSS? And that it is 5mW and not 50+ mW? I assume the answer is no, but hoping some experienced folks will have some advice for me.
Thanks!
