My Wickedlasers Core was recently stollen and I have figured out I can not live without a laser. I did notice the output varying and the laser was unresponsive a lot of the time before it was stollen, I do not know why this was ocurring, maybe because i left the batteries in for a long time, little falls, or another reason? So now I am faced with the question of what new laser to buy. I am interested in a more powerful laser but i am worried about the "legal" power of 5 mw, as well as safety issues as accidently blinding someone even if i was being careful. I also just watched some videos about people getting in trouble for shining it at planes and stuff so i am a little worried too, even though i would never think about it doing something as stupid as that.
All in all, i would be content with another 5 mW, however I am not sure if i would purchase the Core or a Lyra Series Laser 5mW from Laserglow. The Lyra is more expensive if I purchase the Core from the ebay dealer, but i was pleased with the Core during the time that i had it, and wonder if i actually caused the damage that caused its loss quality? If i were to get a more powerful laser I have been looking at the Novalasers X15 Compact Portable Laser ($79) as a condidate. I dont think i would be interested in anything more powerful because I am worrried about accidently harming someone by accident.
My main purpose of owning a laser is for fooling around. Shining it into the sky enjoying the beam, or pointing it at far objects. I care a lot about quaility. So basically my questions are:
1) Is there a real difference between 5mW and 15 mW that is worth buying the 15 mW?
2) Am I being too worried about the power of the 15mW?
3) WickedLaser Core vs. Lyra Series Laser 5mW from Laserglow vs. Novalasers X15
Note: I have looked at as many threads as i could have and just couldn't find a specific answer so please do not hound me for "not searching". Any help would be appreciated as well as first hand testimonials. Thanks
