Lasers and laser pointers are used widely for a number of different applications across a wide range of professional and personal fields. From varying output powers, beam colors, safety & design features to accessories and longevity, there can be quite a lot of information to sift through before buying any particular laser. Here we’ll look at some of the basic laser applications and aspects to keep in mind before making a purchase.<\/p>\n

1. Beam Visibility<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Best

Best Laser Pointers Online<\/p><\/div>\n

This is the most common and typically the most important aspect to prospective laser buyers. Comparing different laser colors and output powers is important as each one will have different visibility factors. A\u00a0200mW green laser<\/a> will be about as bright and have the same visible distance<\/strong> as a 1,200mW blue laser but will have about 1\/6th the burning ability of the 1,200mW blue beam.<\/p>\n

2. Safety Features<\/strong><\/p>\n

Depending on what you plan on using your laser for, different safety features may or may not be required or desired. For example, if you have small children around or simply don’t want anyone using your laser without permission, a key switch\u00a0safety feature is a great option to consider<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

3. Burning Ability<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite what many people believe, the color of the laser beam will have no effect on the burning ability possibility. It is the mW (Milliwatts) of output power that determines entirely the burning ability of any laser. As a rule, 200mW should be the minimum power looked for (in any laser color) in a burning laser pointer<\/strong>, and of course, the higher the power the greater the burning potential.<\/p>\n

With even just a few minutes of researching online, or asking questions directly to a laser companies support team, you can determine the most suitable laser pointer for any application you may have in mind.
