You can check it by pointing it to your eye, If you get blinded its 10mW and if you dont, it's 5mW, simple :crackup:

By the way, just kidding. Don't do it.

Nice build.

Just so you don't make this mistake in the future, MW stands for megawatt... People will be confused.

 

[TTerbo]

megawat?? dont you mean milliwat?

 

[randomlugia]

That's a lower-case "m".

m=milli (1/1000th)

M=mega (x1 million)
