Some irresponsible merchants trick customers into making a profit. We can't stop it, but we have to explain some facts. Generally speaking, the output power of water-cooled solid-state green lasers can reach 5W, and the output power of laser flashlights can reach 1.6W. But 30000mW (30W) does not exist! When buying a green laser pointer, you need to observe certain etiquette. This includes not pointing the green laser pointer at other people's eyes. Remember, it is always illegal to hurt someone with your hand or with a laser pointer.
So if you throw a green laser in someone's eye, you're definitely running the risk of injuring their eye. This means that you are definitely doing something that is considered illegal, so you should avoid it entirely. Yes, you probably won't permanently damage someone's eyes with a low molecular weight laser pointer, but you shouldn't risk it anyway.
Is it the same for all US states and the world?
No, the legality will definitely vary depending on your location. In New York, for example, it is completely illegal to sell a high power laser pointer to anyone under the age of 18. But if you are in some other states or some countries in Europe, there is no age requirement.
The wavelength of 532nm is more than 500mW, which is technically difficult, so please choose carefully. Under the premise of ensuring the authenticity of the power supply, the price will be 2-5 times different for the same result. because? The main reason is the stability of the diode material, brand and output. For 1W-1.6W green laser pointers, we always use high-quality materials, Nichia diodes, cooling systems and high-efficiency circuits.
