pucho, great to hear that. Now as far as burning goes, the higher the output power the more burning power you will have. A 300mW laser will burn if focused to as small a beam as possible, but it won't burn like a 445nm 1.7 watt laser will. The latter will burn through black electrical tape in 2 seconds, from one end to the other. A 300mW laser will take much longer than this will. Be careful, however, because a 100mW laser will burn the retina of your eye before you even know it has happened. It will also burn black tape and black balloons, but only if you hold it on the spot for some time. A long time. Great to have you in the forum. If you have any questions you may PM me anytime and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
P.S. now streaming or seeing the beam in the air is a function mostly of the wavelength of the laser. Red lasers are all the way at one end of the visible range and blue lasers are all the way at the other end. Green lasers are almost dead center in your visual acuity. Power will also have a factor in this as well. For red lasers it is better to go with 635nm than 660nm, but it will cost you more money to do that. Blue lasers are in a class of their own because you can get a powerful one for less money than any other color.
