Hey guys, i'm totally new here. I'm planning on buying a 532nm, 200mW green pointer laser.
Now reading up i've come to the conclusion that having safety goggles is a MUST (correct me if i'm wrong!).
1) Is this absolutely necessary? Can i not use my laser without the glasses? Because it just seems as though with the glasses on then it won't be as fun.
2) If so, can someone explain to me what i need? I've read about 'IR' as well. So does that mean that i need a pair of safety goggles with IR filtering? Argh i'm so confused.
3) So can i show my family and friends my laser? Or do they ALL have to be wearing safety glasses?
I'd really appreciate it if you guys could answer all 3 of my questions. Cheers.
