Laser Pointer Class 4: Lasers are always dangerous in direct or diffuse field of view, causing skin and eye damage (power greater than 500 mW). They constitute a fire hazard. Danger to eyes and skin from direct or diffuse radiation. This type of laser can cause serious injury. They are often used for cutting, drilling or marking materials (eg surgical lasers). Green laser pointers with a wavelength of 400 to 700 nm and powers less than or equal to 1 mW are Class 2, green laser pointers with powers less than 5 mW are Class 3A, and green laser pointer with powers between 5 mW and 500 mW are Class 3B Class 4 green laser pointers with a power greater than 500 mW.
However, the fact that any laser pointers may be similar to the Class 3B laser pointers we sell does not imply that they are authorized in France. Our new laser pointer comes with an internal 800 mAh battery. Its battery can be charged using the included USB cable. Therefore, it can be easily charged by connecting it to a PC's USB port, an external battery, or a power outlet equipped with a USB output for charging. The rangefinder fires a laser beam continuously at the target, and the target returns the beam, the time it takes to complete this trip will allow the distance to be calculated in a very precise way. Warning: not to be confused with ultrasonic rangefinders with laser pointers, many have fallen into the trap! In the case of this device, the measurements are calculated by wave emission and are disturbed by the slightest obstacles (furniture, cabinets, tables, etc.) and are only used for measurement estimation, the accuracy is not at the meeting.
Can I still use a laser pointer after the law changes?
In Switzerland, the Federal Regulation on Protection against Non-Ionizing Radiation and Sound Hazards (O-LRNIS) regulates the use of laser pointers. From June 1, 2021, only Class 1 laser pointers are allowed. But please note: Class 1 laser pointers are only allowed for presentations in enclosed spaces. This means you can't use the high power laser pointer outdoors.
