My question is: What is a good bang for the buck "Cool" looking host that makes people go wow? If you were to build a blue laser and could have any host for under $40 what would you get?

Thanks, Sparkles

I say head over to laser pointer forums for that kind of build
We only build projectors here

Of course thats the answer to everything.

A warning sticker that stops retinal burns. Great if it existed.

Unfortunately with every great laser warning sticker comes the person or idiot operating the laser its attached to.

As LaNeK said, even a glancing back reflection can damage your sight from 2 Watts and I just hate to think who you might damage by directly pointing it at, whether intentionally or accidentally.

I think this would make a great host. It already takes batteries, has a speed control build in AND it could get your missus interested in lasers!

it exists!

any common warning sticker can absolutely and in any case prevent retinal burns, IF and only IF it is placed directly on the laser beam apperture (thus completely masking it)

The downside is that it'll only work for a split second.

Terrawatt sez perhaps Spec = Sparkles ????? This " Alter-Ego " has manifest due an unplanned stopover in a VERY large outcrop of PEYOTE.....just West of El Paso, Texas ???

Sparkles,are you related to any "Allens" by chance?
Your lack of regard for the safety issue suggests this. A 1-2 watt pointer sounds cool,but will get someone hurt and/or arrested,for sure.
