Thanks for doing those experiments, Infinitus! Its interesting to think about these things, but seeing as I don't have a laserbee it was more or less academic. I'm glad you found this thread and actually tested out the different objects, keep up the good work!

Tech_Junkie has a good point. To clarify, I am definitely not advocating flashing this laser around recklessly without glasses. I am just trying to get a sense of what is safe vs. what is dangerous if operating this laser in a very controlled setting. Of course, if you are just shining the thing...

Wolfman29, You bring up a good point and your thought experiment is interesting, it seems like the risk of damage from looking at the dot from a moderate distance is low. I am considering buying a 1W 445 nm and I have been wondering these same thoughts. They are sweet and are not too expensive...
