Hi,
I am planning on using lasers as tripwires in a circuit to activate lights.
Now I was going to use some cheap laserpointer and take the laser out in order to shine it on an LED.
I was just thinking though, how long can I expect the Laser to last, since it is going to be running 24/7!
Should I maybe get a better quality one and build the driver myself?
I don't want to spend too much money though, because my design requires 4 of them!
Thanks in advance!
