Reccomend me a laser

[tuskiomi]

Hello, all. I'm going to be building a laser-guided yoga ball launcher.
For that, I plan on using a web camera and a monitor to help guide the user.
The laser's dot needs to be visible under good lighting (not outside), but must be less than 2mW, for safety.
Because we're using a camera, the laser can be IR if need be.
Divergence isn't an issue. Anything less than 20mrad will do nicely.
Duty cycle must be 6 hours+ with proper cooling.
Must weigh less than 2 lbs.
Target operating voltage has to be between 0 and 5.
I was thinking a 2mW 535, but i'm afraid that the IR leak will obstruct the camera's view.

A 5mW 650nm should work fine for your application. In a light room, it's still plenty visible and most of the lower powered 650nm diodes have virtually no duty cycle at all. Although it is a little more then what your are requesting(2mW) 5mW is still safe. Do take into account that laserbtb's "5mW" tend to be a few mW's stronger so maybe 8mW-10mW's which if being careful, is fine

Where do i get appropriate warning labels for this?

Do you mean danger labels for the laser? It should come with the laser, stuck near the aperture

If you would like to purchase it separately however, survival laser's has got them for cheap and they're universal!
