I got a green laser, now what?

Got a 35mw laser.


IF you have to ask, it's a Wicked Laser Executive Advanced. Yes, yes, flame me, but I got it brand new extremely cheap, so I didn't send $200 to china. I wanted a starter laser and this suits me great. I know where to buy in the future (Nova, etc).

So... I can point out stars, but what's typical usage of this power range.

I received a power reading sheet with this and it read ~48mw, but I don't know if I believe it.

Thanks in advanced. I'm reading all the other posts in every forum, but I finally decided to post.

how much is cheap?

At 15mW you won't be able to do burning tricks, but if it is really 48mW you should be able to pop balloons and maybe light a match with a lens.

Figured 35mw wouldn't be enough to do much. Thanks guys.
