Hi Everyone,
I'm new to LPF although I've been reading on this site for quite some time. I like lasers, just like everyone here, but I don't want to spend a lot of money on it. I've owned cheap $8 laser pens. When I won a $100 DealExtreme Gift Card, I decided to go a little higher. I ordered the green SD-301 5mW model, which is $24,34.People who wrote reviews about this laser, said that it was overspec (50mW or more).
Since green lasers are made out of Near-IR/IR (correct me if I'm wrong), I was thinking: if it's overspec, does it output a lot of IR? If it does, I want to buy some EaglePair goggles. Otherwise, I'm going to buy cheap eBay goggles.
Thanks in advance!
