@vicfroh green lasers are centered at 520nm, 1000nm is infrared. They prob meant 1000mW, which will absolutely wreck a sensor but it'll also wreck eyes from even a diffuse reflection off something shiny so be careful and get laser glasses rated for the wavelength.

@smellsofbikes @vicfroh Even if whoever does this has protective glasses, anyone else who might be looking the wrong way at the wrong moment probably won't. Way too risky.

@vicfroh
If I may correct the original screenshot: That's 1000 milliwats, not nanometers.
Green is like... 750-ish nanometers. 1000 is up in invisible reds or something.

@K4_713 @vicfroh Why do we say 1000 mW when it can be said as 1 Watt? Is it simply the fact that a thousand sounds more powerful than one?

@CatsofArrakis @vicfroh I suspect it's the "milli" part. Sounds more like a party.

@K4_713 @vicfroh so how do you tell where you’re aiming if it’s near invisible ?

@vicfroh how about my green gunsight? Didn’t look at the specs close enough
