Hi
You do realize that these are not handheld devices but more powerful
lasers. The 5mw ones we buy are not dangerous even for more than a short
exposure.

The real hazard is from the UV lasers since you cannot see them. You can
buy very powerful lasers as an individual and further increase their
power.
