Hey guys, I'm new here and just treated myself to a new 488 60mw SanWu Pocket Laser which has finally arrived.
I'm pretty ignorant as to the power of lasers, even with some of the research I've tried to do so please bear with me. I just want to be as cautious as I can with this and get some opinions from you guys, as I know this is not a toy.
How powerful exactly Is this 60mw 488 Pocket Laser?
Does this have burning capabilities? Pop a balloon? Light a match?
How careful do I need to be when it comes to protective eye-wear etc...? So far I've only pointed it at non-reflective dark surfaces. If I shine it on a white wall, the dot is fairly bright.
Lastly, I'm noticing some leak coming from the laser which is spreading out depending how far I am from a wall, do I need to be worried about that? Is that leak dangerous if someone sees it?
I was told by SanWu that goggles weren't really necessary for this laser, but I want to be extra careful.
I'll post photos here soon
Thanks in advance and sorry if this is was not posted in the correct place.
