"Safe" laser brand

[AlexBZH]

Hello everybody,

I didn't introduce myself in the Welcome section since I only have one question to ask you. I live in France and I'm looking for a brand of laser whose power is less or equal to 5mW. I have seen that you recommend the Anser Laserglow but it is impossible to find it in Europe. I am looking for a safe laser since I will be using it to play with my cat and make presentations.

Thx

These are supposed to be within limits and have IR filters, however I have not tested them, do some reading and be comfortable before you buy.

Thanks for the links but they do not ship to Europe.

You could make your own and insure it's at a safe level, however you also are responsible for obeying your countries laws, that said you could try odicforce
