Spyder III Pro Arctic Laser

What power lasers are used for events such as Qlimax? I have an HD video of Qlimax 2008 and the lasers are damned bright. If they are such high powered then does it mean people could get skin cancer from them at such events?

Can you buy attachments for laser pointers that split the beam up, spread it flat, patterns etc?

Having read that (albeit a bit briefly), it seems more aimed at selling imitation firearms, but mentions defending the sale of Airsoft guns?

Doesn't seem to be any issues ordering one online though, unless they are under this exemption? Or will they all be bright orange or something? )
Well most airsoft guns are imitation firearms, it's only the clear or brightly coloured ones that can be bought freely.

The VCR bill made it necessary to be a registered member of an airsoft site (and participate in games) in order to buy realistic airsoft guns.
Not legally necessary to be registered, just makes it a lot easier to prove you play at a site with the correct insurance but I realise no decent airsoft site will sell to people without membership.

Your eyes are very sensitive to green light so you dont need much power at all even for something like that, They are probably 100mW but split into hundreds of beamlets.

the maximum of 5mW before you damage your eyes.

you can't get skin cancer from green light, you can from UV lasers + bluray stuff. i.e. this light saber they are selling

Always wondered that. Like they say lasers will blind etc etc as well. But in that picture the lasers are also on everyone there. So how does that work out :S? As they must also be quite powerful lasers?

And video link :D?
 
I honestly think I'd rather people be able to purchase firearms than these.

Main problem with this product is that it's a gadget, people want one to toy around with and consequently lots of people are going to have them who just can't appreciate how powerful the laser is. If someone buys a pistol they are far less likely to fool around with it because of what it is, it's a gun.

Like the example earlier of chav's shining at pedestrians for a laugh, it's because people like that don't appreciate what they have because it's a novelty item. Whereas they aren't going to randomly shoot someone with a gun for kicks are they? (At least I hope not).
 
Well i have 2 laser pens, actually 3.

HLP18130 Focusable Red Laser Pointer 200mW and Green Laser Pointer Pen 50mW
Also this other green one which my mate 'found'
It has no stickers on it like the rest and is silver and all it says o it is "Bausch & Lomb" Its a lot more powerful then the green 50mW one. And it just goes far into the distance at night (especially when its foggier) shined it down this massive field.

The red one is very good at night but less visible in the day iirc. Total waste of money but yer. The red one can burn matches if the 'focus' is set correctly and cut through electrical tape - again if the focus is set correctly

With all of the lasers it has to be dark to see the beam. Which is a shame :(!

Google for qlimax 2008 bluray. Not too hard to find :)
Seen every damn one ;) (not joking either :P)
Wanted to see yours hehe

Someone told me that you need a good camera to pick up the green lasers as they are so bright compared to the dark room. Though loads of people have videos up. Loads of them are rubbish quality of course. The q-dance official ones are mint. Great cameras :O
 

Jesus christ... Doesn't look like there's even any fog in that room or anything, that thing is stupidly powerful.
You really don't want that thing getting into the wrong hands.. surely without any glasses just looking at it would hurt your eyes like hell :S?
 
this thing could go so horribly wrong.. :/ i can just see chavs and other nuppties abusing those things.. and think about it.. blinding someone? This is way over the top and should not be sold without a legal document which shows that you are eligible to buy it..
 
1W CW is very modest for a laser tbh. I guess its not bad for a portable one though. The laser cutter in the other thread is 40W which is serious power.

I should point out (as a laser guy) that google don't protect against direct exposure to the beam, just scatter. At 1W, there will be serious damage even if you are wearing googles.

I didn't think google would protect against lasers anyway, unless it's part of their world domination plan :p

But google control everything, why can't they protect me from lazars.
