The laser line covers more surface area than a laser pointer concentrating all of its energy on one pinpoint spot. Does this mean a laser line is less damaging than a laser pointer of equal power? To put the question into context, which would be more likely to cause eye damage. A 5mW 650nm...

Hello, this is my second post on the forum. I searched google for 8 hours trying to find a specific answer to this question. I want to know about line lasers and their mw ratings. How are they measured since the beam is spread out and not concentrated on a spot like typical laser pointers...
