Pocket Scan lasers potential hazard????

You should Never shine a Laser into a crowd.

Its not going to do anything. The lasers are under 5mW so there is no potential hazard. Don't point your lights up, or else the beam will be up as well.

I know never to shoot the beam of my laser at the crowd, but common the scanners light itself has to hit the crowd, what good is it going to do if i shine the beams over them. The lasers are sometimes audio controlled by my DMX pocket solo. So while people are dancing the lights are moving and the controller would turn on the laser sometimes. And with fog its a cool effect.

Staring for long periods into a 5mw laser (or any laser for that matter) CAN and will cause eye damage!!

If you get struck in the eye for less than a second, which is usually the case with most low powered lasers, there souldn't be a problem otherwise the Pocket Scan and similar lights would be banned!

I'd be more worried about those powerful blue/green argon 10mw+ lasers, now they can cause serious damage if not used correctly.

ROQ out.
