Red beam?

[lasersinbama]

how powerful does a red laser have to be to have the brightness of say a 50mw green? or can it be that bright at all?

As you can see on the chart, red is very low on the scale.

1,750 mW
Beam: (532nm 50mw) vs. (660nm 1748.18mw)

Hey thats cool. Did you make that?

Thanks TJ!

Yep, I did

That's a great brightness calculator. Thanks for making this tool and letting the community use it!

+1 :thanks:

WOW, cool and useful +1 Rep :gj:
Thanks for sharing...

Thanks guys - I appreciate it

If we consider that red lasers usually have bigger beam diameter, that ratio should be even higher. A particle suspended in air receives more light in a dense beam like green's than in red's.

532nm to 660

1 to 4

50mw to 200mw
