Considering what you said, there's something else that I thought might influence why the blue laser might appear to be brighter in the videos that I made. The blue beam seems to be somewhat wider then the green one, and that size difference might lead a person to perceive the blue beam to be...

Well, excuse me but GSS suggested in post #18 that I make another video, this time showing what they looked like at night. Seeing that this is a friendly community, I felt comfortable asking questions and having a discussion. Also, seeing that there are experts here, I believe this is the...

You're right, it wasn't you. It was Ear and Eggs, and I found the pictures. It's actually a string of them, but the main ones are the 5th and 8th pics. The green one is exactly the one I have, and is being compared to a blue 1.6 watt. The green is clearly brighter than the blue. The 8th...

Hey, Unown, I think you posted a pic of a bunch of different lasers grouped together and it showed a blue one about the same power level as mine, and a green one which I believe is the same one I have, and it clearly showed the green as being brighter. That pic is what helped me make my...

No, there's nothing over there. Did you think the blue laser was brighter than the green? I think I might be a little color-blind when it comes to greens, so I was hoping someone could take a look at the 2 lasers for me to see if the green one is brighter or not. Everyone says green is much...

Ok, I went ahead and made one. I went to a park overlooking a large pond where I used my blue 1.5 watt laser just before it got completely dark 6 years ago--this time using my green laser, which is 700mw. Green laser is first, with the blue one appearing at the :38 second mark. Doesn't the...

Nah, I think it's fine. But thank you.

It varies a good amount. I know that it was quite humid when I took the video of the blue laser. We just had rain. Not the case when I videoed the green one.

I'm thinking it's probably what it was advertised to be. I'm just kind of disappointed that it wasn't like 2.5 times as bright as the blue one I used to have. It's still blindingly bright when it hits something, such as a tree trunk in the distance. A tree trunk is dark, and should absorb a...

I just now tried it on a paper bag. It burned through it after several seconds.

I did. It's charged up to full strength.

I don't have a way of measuring the actual power output. I'm just going by the manufacterer's claim.

What you see in the video is the same as what I saw in real life.

I had a 1.5 watt blue laser about 6 years ago and it was my first high-powered laser. It only lasted for 9 days, so videos I made are all I have left of it. I heard that green lasers are much brighter due to our eyes being more sensitive to that color. I just bought one of those and got it...

I guess I can see how charging at a voltage too low to actually "trigger" the charging process could damage the battery. Sometimes I've even heard that using too low of a voltage from a battery to operate the device it's powering can also damage something (either the battery or the device...
