Laser pointers sometimes come with spare heads to modify the beam. These lamp caps project simple lines, dots and images in place of the traditional millimeters of standard lasers. Other green laser pointer accessories include a lanyard for better control and a carrying case for protection. The correct laser pointer depends on the task for which you are using it. For example, activities that require an exposed beam of light may require a green laser pointer for night vision, while daily activities at home require lower power levels for safety. Find out everything you need to know before choosing your next laser pointer.
Dangers of strong laser pointers
Depending on the power output, these laser pointers can be extremely dangerous due to eye damage, skin burns or even fire. Ultra-power laser pointers should only be used when wearing suitable safety glasses. Reviewing the manufacturer's safety precautions and your local city's laser laws is an important part of proper laser pointer operation. If you are looking for a high-end, powerful and safe laser pointer, we highly recommend this 5000mW laser.
In addition to the risk of permanent eye damage, people who use lasers in their eyes, even for short periods of time, can experience "flash blindness." Flashblindness causes temporary loss of vision and possible afterimages in the affected eye. It can be distracting. Recovery from these effects can take only a few minutes - it can take days. Never shine a high power laser pointer on an airplane or other vehicle. It could lead to a serious accident.
