As discussed at our forums, this laser does not come with an IR filter. So for safety you should wear protective glasses when using the pointer.
Burning demo of Thin Plastic follows. The laser can also burn thin plastic at a distance (since energy is focused as they are lasers), provided that you have steady hands or something to keep the laser dot on one spot for a split second (you can use things like tripods). I will take some "remote burning" pictures and upload them shortly.
Pros: Excelent product, very bright beam even on daylight, last week we have a lot of fog in the morning and the beam was visible for a mile on the fog. Burn stuff quick. Could light matches and blow ballons.
Cons: Eats batteries, not even try to use AAA rechargeables will last for seconds and dont get peak power. Who cares about batteries when it goes for the 200mw power?
Other Thoughts: I would like to have one of this with focusable lens. Buy protective goggles. Really bad to the eyes. Keep out of reach of kids.
Bottomline: You like lasers you should have this one, but remember it does not have any filters and can hurt your eyes.
Pros: -It's freaking cheap! places like wicked lasers and other sites sell at prices way way more than this.(there are indeed some things which DE's laser lacks, but the great price difference covers all these shortcomings)-Powerful. it is just so cool to see the beam shine all the way to the night sky.-uses AAA batteries, so i can use rechargables. money saver.
Cons: -Not as powerful as i thought. i shined the beam on a piece of paper, but it doesn't seem to burn.-The button has to be pressed quite hard before the beam comes up. however, after playing around with the button for some time, the problem was totally gone, and it's working fine right now.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Great cheap laser. Fun to play with without burning a hole in your pocket.
Pros: - Very bright dot, it can be seen under direct sunlight.- Laser beam is very bright at night and somewhat visible in a dimly lit room.- Uses AAA batteries (cheaper and easier to find than CR2).
Cons: - It's shaped like a pen, but it's too long to carry around in your pocket.- No UV filter, don't point it too close!
Other Thoughts: It came in a nice little box with 2 AAA batteries which didn't last too long, I suggest using good brand batteries or better yet, rechargeable ones. Also, this is not a burning laser, if you want to burn stuff, get a red one.
Bottomline: Great fun! It's best used outdoors in the evening or night, to point at distant objects. You can point at the sky and the stars! The dot shines brightly on faraway objects, in fact, it's a bit too bright for indoor use.Highly recommended.
Pros: -Extremely bright, the beam is really visible and very bright during the night, at dusk a little bit.-Great build quality, i was expecting the worst, i think they listened the critics and made an improved version, the button is firm, the laser itself solid, it looks really durable
Cons: -Too bright, if you look at the point be prepared, your eyes will be under extreme stress, it's really dangerous, don't even think about pointing to someones's eyes-It's not a burning laser, period. This is for fun, still, i wouldn't even try without protective glasses, you will be forced to look at the beam point.-You get two beams after some minutes playing with it, relax, it comes back to normal when it cools down
Other Thoughts: This laser is pure fun, with such a wow factor. There are two kind of people: the ones who think of it as a weapon, and those who want one already...wow factor guaranteed
Bottomline: Buy it, it's pure fun
