What does focusing a laser pointer allow you to do

[tysp2]

I am looking into laser pointers and i see some can be focused, what are the advantages to a focusable one vs non.

THANKS

You can focus a laser beam close-up (helps burn), or to infinity (point at stars)
IMO A needed feature for all builds

You can burn mosquitos and ants.

You do that too e?
I like burning flies and mosquitos
I think that flies don't really like the BR's beam, dunno why :angel:

If the laser is non focusable, it's just a laser pointer that can be used as a burner. If it's focusable you can use it as a pointer, as a torch or as a burner

I actually never burn animals but I know it can be done.

Dude how can you make a comment like that? WTF how old are you? Your mother can be burned too, but I would not mention it.
