    Welp, it's official.. the china mkt has found the lazor niche .. guess c@sio's to blame.. shoulda stuck with gas ions .. but that probably wouldn't have stopped this from happening .. Now everybody's gonna have a cheap hi power projector, blind each other with them, and all laser projectors will be banned like weapons .. sht .. :/

    Actually, given the plumeting price, high power, and flashlight form-factor of some of the laser modules for sale on eBay, I suspect more and more "beginners" will be buying 2 watt "laser pointers" and blinding themselves and others.
    Think about how many times you've seen some jerk shining a true laser pointer into the face of performers on stage or into other into crowds of people. Now consider that same kind of jerk buying a 2-watt laser! I have already seen a couple posts on Internet forums (not here) about people accidentally blinding themselves and seeking medical advice. If the power of the lasers keeps increasing while the costs decrease, it seems more and more jerks will be able to afford these. It doesn't seem like it will take long before they are being regulated like handguns... (I'll apply to the county for my concealed laser licence now!) But then again, maybe that will be necessary if this becomes a big problem.
    I like the falling prices for my pocketbook, but I am also concerned about how accessible high power lasers are becoming. It used to be that you had to be pretty obsessed with lasers to invest in anything too dangerous, but this seems to be changing very quickly.
    I may have to start wearing some of those stylist "blue blocker" sunglasses that used to be sold on infomercials on TV just to protect myself going to the grocery store.
    (In case my humor is lost, I am not serious about "blue blocker" sun glasses being effective protection from high power laser light! I just couldn't resist bringing up those space aged sun glasses.)

    Ah the famous Durashine commercial. White titanium dioxide paint vs a red, chromium based adsorptive paint. Durashine protects the white car, competitor protects the red car. Even God has a hard time damaging TiO2, however Red car gets nasty burns in door from 20 watt argon. In fact it "burns through" on the last shot. You can see them ramping up and down the power, as well. The "witnesses" are given the famous "BlueBlocker" (another infomercial) sunglasses as safety glasses. Very rigged infomercial for Durashine. I wish the full video was on Youtube....

    Here is a VERY EDITED partial clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIDei7clylY

    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    Funny how this thread got resurrected just now. Just a few days ago a promoter said a job for New Years was between me and Pawn. My answer, "Even if you don't go with me, definitely don't go with Pawn." I don't generally knock competition. But these guys, damn...

    ...but, these guys damn what? I love how every one loves to slander the name pawn lasers, but from 1985 to 2010... really no one else in the east coast except us was doing lasers at music concerts except for p.a.w.n. - www.LaserLightShow.ORG, as we had a monopoly on the music industry, and the other 10 laser company's in the USA were doing mainly planetarium shows. Now, every other lighting company wants to buy a crappy laser and follow our lead and talk trash on us b/c we made the most money, over 2 million dollars, and we done the most laser shows... and there jealous... continuously slandering us. I'm just gonna post my tax returns next time someone slanders us, and a copy of court records showing that we never been sued, or copies of letters from the FDA & FAA that were in good standing.
