Thank you. :) 55mW, why? lol

I live in NC. USA North Carolina. I know most my neighbors, there good. Still may need to warn them before shining in the sky. Might scare them. Laser seems good. Looks like the ones on DX. Is it? Also, I don't think it has IR filter. People say green is worse than IR but others say IR is...

I depends on the laser specs. I don't want to go over $100 $150 though.

I live in the US with the freakin' rules... This is what I want. Spot is visible at night: Yes (dah :P) Spot is visible in light: Yes! (also dah) Beam is visible at night: Yes Beam is visible in lightened area: Yes (It does not need to be lightsaber bright, but visible) Can burn things: No I...

I know.... Guessing you live in the US too? It's so un-fair. The rule probably got made from idiots shining them at plains and people. *Up next, FDA blocks bb guns in US because bb's bounce and hit eyes...*

I currently do not have goggles. But If I find out I can actually do this, I will get some before I use the laser. BTW, Where could I find the circuit of this? I think I have the LM317 chip and I have some resistors etc.

I will reply, because I don't think anyone else is... If it's 5mW it still may not be allowed. Though it has the US standards and you shouldn't get in trouble with it, it probably does not have the FDA number thing. Meaning the FDA has not approved this laser. I may not be right, but I think I...

Perfect sense. Thanks. And @ LRMNmeyer. Just common pointing around. The reason I don't want a 5mW is because the beam is not real visible. I'm hoping a 15mW will have a little more visible beam. (in darker areas)

So this laser is LEGAL in the USA to buy and to own? Ug. No links allowed by me. The Alpha15. And are you sure? lol

Where would I get something like that?

Is there any greater than 5mW laser legal over here?

Sweetness. ;D Thanks for replies! Would I "really" need goggles for a 15mW laser? It's not that much more than a 5mW. Also, is a 15mW beam even visible?

What is a good circuit diagram or tut on making one? I don't want to burn out a diode with direct battery to diode. And is it possible to remove only the dvd burner laser without messing the cd drive up? Like still use it in a computer only for reading. (not writing anymore) I have a DVD Multi...

First off, yes I'm new here. ;D Anyway, I live in the US. Would it be illegal for me to buy the 15mW X-Series from novalasers? No I'm not planning on pointing at plains or cops cars.
