Sweet, i'll see what i can do about it.

Where can I get canned air?

Yet another question: The laser has like, a LOT of tiny dots around it, and i'm suspecting a dirty lens. For MY laser, how would I clean it?

Ah, okay, thanks for the info.

Yes, but can looking at the dot on a wall hurt your eyes?

Sorry for the double post, but now i have yet another question. Will my eyes get hurt if i look at the dot that it makes from close range (>1m)?

Ah great, that works quite well, thanks!

Well, when i point farther than around 5 meters away, the dot becomes around 5 cm wide, and made up of a bunch of tiny dots :I if i point it at night at something around 100m away, the dot is extremely dim.

Ah, didn't think so. :P Is there any other way to focus it?

@Jerry, i want a filter because i have others in my house, especially some smaller kids, and i don't want to hurt their eyes by accident. @Michael, okay, judging by what you said, i doubt i can focus mine. Mine is just a cheap laser from DX. This is the one i bought.

Hmm. Probably not :P I think i have some filters, actually. Also, my laser isn't very focused, is there any way to increase the focus?

Lol, okay. So if i take a camera filter and put it in front of my laser, by how much will it be lowered?

Aren't those for cameras? How would that work? thanks for responses.

Thanks Jerry, Where can i get one of those?

okay, my 30 mW green laser has finally arrived! (after two long months of shipping T_T) Okay, so I have 2 questions right now. 1) if i'm using this for outdoor night star pointing/beam viewing, will i need goggles? I hope not, because i've heard you can't see the beam if you have goggles on...

Ah thanks! Well, that's all my questions for now :D Now to just wait for it to get here.... I'll probably add more questions after i recieve it. Thanks again, you people are really helpful!

Aha, thanks. I can now prove to her that it cannot. Will it be strong enough to burst a balloon? (with and without sharpie marks)

Ah, thanks for the info :D (i'm in Canada, btw.) My sister is paranoid about it. She keeps saying that if i shine it at a wall for long enough, it'll burn. I kept saying it's not possible, but she's determined that it will. This isn't true, is it? Also, how long would this take to ship? It...

Thank you lazy laser! But my main question is, if a 30mW hits me in the eye, will my blink reflex be fast enough? and how good does it seem? My dad said it looked "cheap". Will it be underspec-d?

Ahh, thanks. I'll be sure to keep it safe while I'm away. (btw, SilverSLIver. Everyone gets it wrong on all the forums I've been on :c) But what do you think about the quality? And if it hits something reflective and shines me in the eye, will it damage my eyes?
