Seen it, bought it. I just had to have one of these. I am going to have so much fun with this. Was at the local town fete today and the usual amount of ballon sellers walking around ripping off parents with there 6 quid a go balloons. They always have a huge amount of them that they carry around.

I am going to have so much fun watching his face as each of his balloons mysteriously bursts.

Also;
Seagulls are so getting it.
That dog that seems to think my front lawn is its personal toilet is so getting it
The cat that ate all the fking coi from my pond is SOooo getting it

open to other suggestions for worthy targets of a burnt arse.

I was thinking of things you could heat up from a distance just to be evil, like the button on a pedestrian crossing, , The door handle of a fast food joint, etc.

Would be funny to heat up a padlock on a wheelclamp and watch the clamper burn himself...

There must be lots of laser based booby traps you could set

I am guessing they have used a black balloon for a reason. I don't think you will get far with a white pedestrian crossing button

An invisible-to-the-naked-eye 300mw handheld laser sounds quite dangerous to me.

If you reflect it off something without realising it's pointing straight at your eye, could you not be unlucky enough to burn a hole in your retina?

The laser would come in handy at football matches

I'm surprised no-one has commented on this yet...

Now I'm no fan of namby pamby H&S nonsense but don't these seem to be a bit, well, dangerous for anyone to buy. I would imagine that most of their customers are kids who go and do stupid things with them.

Anyway - WTF is the point of a lazer 'pointer' that burns holes in the things you are pointing at? I'm sure that my customers would be really pleased about me leaving holes in walls and setting fire to the staff behind it.

The pointer is £100.. I can't see many kids getting one of these.

They'd be satisfied with one from the market for a fiver i'd imagine, these are on a very different level.

The question we all really want to know the answer to is: can it melt a chopper copper's visor at 1000 feet?

Or destroy the CCD in a specs camera?......

Maybe - I still can't see the point (badoom tisch) of it though. Anyone got any ideas what it's actually for? Who needs to point a laser dot onto an object 5 miles away if you aren't pinpointing targets for aircraft to blow up?

I've no idea what this good one is for.. But the others are obviously for things like conferences and powerpoints etc.. They also use them in the club I work at if theres trouble so the doormen know who their meant to be removing

I actually have no use for these, but i'd love one.. Just for shining on trees/in the sky and finding it impressive. I am like it with torches too, and finding the brightest/coolest LED torches

Don't want to be a safety nazi but be careful if you make one from a CD drive laser. No blink reflex to help you out because it's IR and a 5mW beam will fk your eyes up in a very permanent way.

good exercise for the pussies as well

So did you get one in the end? whats it like?

Or are you unable to respond due to unexpected extreme blindness?

Useful survival tool for making fires perhaps?

Burning flies and wasps?

Quite tempted actually...

[Dr.Doofenshmirtz]

They're good fun...but don't pay those prices!
Shesh...

I have one of these (50mW green) and it's excellent. You can see the beam in daylight much better than the red one below. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2390

I also have the 200Mw red one ... http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.11315
Great for zapping bugs!! (and bursting balloons and generally burning stuff.)

Just, whatever you do...


Seriously - don't fk about with these - they'll quit happily blind you.

Have you bought from that company?

I want a green one, and a 50mW sounds good as a beginner?

I found that image a couple of months ago just when some of the Development bods at my place were messing around with some fandango industrial lasers.
I printed off a few and whipped round replaced the proper H&S ones

We had the H&S audit last week and even the inspector sniggered

Is it really free delivery to the UK?

[Hedders]

It would seem so, nothing dodgy added at checkout time
