Looks good, I like the color. After you get the label printed, Spray with clear Krylon to prevent smearing the ink.

They look nice!

One question though. If it's over 5mW shouldn't it be > 140mW not < 140mW?

I thought 5mW was done as < 5mW because 5mW lasers do not supposed to output any more then 5mW. On the other hand, higher powered usually lists the minimum.

You probably know a lot more about lasers than I, so I may be wrong. Just wondering.

They look a lot better than I could probably do in paint!

I didn't have any luck finding silver labels locally myself, unless you don't care if they are the silver foil type.  But if you want to get the silver foil ones, they can be purchased at the following link for $7.95 for 300 labels, you cut them in half and get 600 Silver Foil Labels for your money....I've used these and they work real well.

i changed my mind, i printed mine out and the ink smugged, then i sprayed that clear stuff on it and it worked but they still are made of paper material, i will buy some from andy_con instead!

Legally, your warning label should list the max power your laser can ever produce. Most people will be lazy and label all class IIIb lasers as <500mW even if they are only 6mW to avoid problems. But for hobbyists the warning label doesn't really matter because none of our DIYs ever follow FDA regulations for selling.
 
You guys want to ADD these things to your lasers!!?? i spend half an hour trying to get the ugly thing off and you ADD them!? i dont get it!!
 
^Personally, I don't want someone not knowing what it is picking it up and playing with it, and hurting somebody in the process. That funny looking flashlight or that pen laser that looks just like every other laser on the planet isn't a flashlight or just a normal laser pointer. If there's a sticker then at least there's something to let people know that it's not a toy and to let them know what is REALLY in their hands without them having to turn it on to see what kind of light is going to come out.

Whether people read the label or not is another matter, but at least it's there and they can read to see what they're doing before turning it on and blinding somebody.

i agree
 
i also agree, i think all lasers items (pens and module) should have the correct warning label on them.

someone could mistake it for one of them crappy 5mw pointers and start doing silly things with it.

also people removing warning labels gives us laserists a bad name!
 
It is best to keep the labels on ;) I only took mines off because they had turned to nothing but sticky silver foil after so much use..


Andy, hows your eye, is it getting any better ? :-/
