That 405nm is surely a wonderous wavelength. probably my favorite. If one had never seen anything other than a low powered green or red pointer, they'd think a 500mW 405nm was pretty bright. lots of people that I show my lasers to also like the 405 the best, even though is is easily drowned out in the light of my others. you'll be pleased

I have yet to see 405nm, but I have heard from many people their eyes seem to have difficulty adjusting to the dot.
 
I CANNOT focus on 405 dots. It's frustrating! It's just a bright blob. But no easy task to focus on.
 
I like the fact that you can't focus on them... gives the color an ethereal feeling, like it's something out of ghostbusters!
 
Mhm...interesting.

The only wavelength's I have seen are 635nm/650nm and 532nm, so I still have a long ways to go :p

I don't like staring at a 405 dot. Especially at long distance. As others mentioned, I can't focus on it. :p but I do like to play with it on GITD stuff.
 
on close range (few meters) I can focus on the dot but it has a haze around it. At long distances (hundred meters or more) I just see a faint purple fuzz.

That may be it, I only have lower power 405nm's so I've never taken one outside. I'll have to try it at a longer distance.

Really?

Some people have said at about 600 meters the dot of the 405nm is completely invisible :undecided:
 
It depends on a lot of factors (target reflectivity, laser power, weather condition etc) Mine was with a 233mW 405.
