Ok, I'm just going to get those glasses. And I was reading some more on the site and I keep seeing all this stuff about IR coming from the cheap china lasers (presumably what I bought) and how they lack IR filters. Is this something I need to get (IR filters) or what's the deal? I really do...

Ok thanks. So what do you all think of those glasses?

I checked and there is one person near me. Not sure though if he has a meter. Anyhow I have a few more noob questions: I ordered these cheapo lasers from ebay- so if they are over spec, is it ok to look at the DOT on a non reflective surface without eye protection? Is a quick accidental...

Alright! I ordered my pointers from IQS. I kinda wish I had a meter to tell me how strong they actually are but whatever.

Ok cool. So then what do you think of the glasses (someone who knows glasses) from O-like?

Ok so it's down to this: I guess I could buy from that seller "itemquickship" or from amazon. But as we all can see- some of you guys like ebay, others don't. So that's my only issue right now in a nutshell when it comes to purchasing.

Ok I might get those two and if I can find a good red one on amazon I might get one of those too. I just like how amazon is run and stuff. I am however looking at the ebay ones again. BTW, when you say over spec, I assume you mean they put out more power than they are claimed to?

Ok so how about these: Amazon.com: Focusable 635nm Red Laser Pointer: Electronics Amazon.com: 10mW Blue Violet Laser Presentation Pointer: Electronics Amazon.com: Dimple Green Laser Pen Astronomy Grade for Military, Lecturers and Law Enforcement (Black): Everything Else And I saw some glasses...

I will look around. Truthfully I'm not a big fan of ebay and it would be nice to be sure of what I'm getting. Shouldn't I start with a 5mw though rather than a 50mw? So I looked at those and I see no problem with them. I mean the big thing for me is getting one that is safe to play around...

Ok you're right. Is there something specific you would recommend?

Alright so I was thinking for just starting, so I could have a few colors to play around with: Green and Blue/Violet Laser Pointer Combo SALE US SHIP - eBay (item 110606495924 end time Mar-02-11 05:05:19 PST) and Red Laser Pointer 85-100 Visible Beam Beast Edition USA - eBay (item 110653364583...

Thanks for the responses and complements guys. I know what it's like with the whole "way to approach" this kind of stuff because my main hobby- reef aquarium keeping, is the same way. I'm a noob here but on the aquarium forums I'm like you guys saying "Are you crazy try to do THAT and you've...

Hi all, I'm new here. I just recently took interest in laser pointers and want to get some safe "beginner" pointers to use. I'd like to ultimately get a true blue and orange/yellow pointer but figure I should start out small before spending that kind of money. If possible I'd like to get one...
