omg frickin lasers (link)

Due to the popularity of this website, I have reduced the price. There have also been some changes to this model. If you have seen this site before, please keep these changes in mind:
- The power output is no longer adjustable. It is now full power all the time.
- The power has been INCREASED. It is now guaranteed to be >100mW. I have one unit here that measures 191mW!
- There is now a safety key and connector that must be inserted into the laser before it will operate.
- There is a 2 second delay after to click the "on" button before the laser will produce a beam.
- This laser is now FDA certified and legal. The above two changes had to be implemented to bring this laser into compliance.
This is a legitimate high-power laser instrument. It will cast a dot on the clouds and burn a hole through a plastic cup from across the room. It is guaranteed to be above 100mW in output power, but that is a very conservative power rating. In actuality, these lasers usually have an output between 100mW and 200mW. I have one here the measures 191mW! Compare this to the 3 to 5mW of a good quality regular green laser pointer, and you get an idea for the power this laser has. This laser is not legal to use in public, and while we are not asking for any proof that the buyer is qualified to own this device, we trust that it will be used in a responsible fashion. This is a Class IIIb laser device.
