Be Caution When Operating Laser Pointer Outdoor

There are several news about laser incidents by misusing of them outdoor in both aviation and non-aviation fields since the beginning of 2014. One must be full cautions when operating with laser pointer outside.

Seen from the news, most of them are aiming to point at something far away with laser pointers, and being arrested as they bring potential danger to aircrafts and vehicles drivers. Accordingly to criminals, some of them was only curious about the distance that a laser pointer can reach, they tested it not deliberately. There is also one case happed in January 9, an adult directed the laser at the child’s eyes in jest, unaware of the harmful consequences, resulting in serious retina damage.

By emitting a straight visible beam which is able to see for miles away, laser pointer is always used to target things in a far away distance. And because of that, laser pointer is becoming so popular, all people who ever see it would be attracted and loves it at once. And with the development of laser diode technology, the price of laser pointer is becoming so competitive that all people can afford it. Then here comes the problem, the misusing of laser pointer causes serious incidents.

We all know the harm of a high-powered laser pointer, which can cause temporary or permanent blindness by shining it to eyes directly. But few people aware it also can cause serious incidents once pointing at others even in far place. 

Human’s eyes only can see things within meter in darkness, but even 1mW can travel at least 500 meters, which is many times longer than people’s optical observation. What’s more, the higher the power, the longer the distance that a laser beam can reach. One can never notice whether there are moving vehicles or aircrafts in the range that the laser beam might hit when operating a laser pointer at night. For taxi drivers or pilots, it is full of danger once hit by a beam of laser suddenly when they are driving cars or aircraft. By instinct, they need to escape the strong light at once, so as to causing sudden turn. Once they are shined by the strong beam into eyes, even temporary blindness can cause serious incidents. There are other moving vehicles, may result in traffic incidents. Also there are hundreds of passengers in the aircrafts, the harm would be unimaginable.

According to the law, it is not allowed to operate the laser pointer outdoor with power more than 5mW. For astronomy researchers, only specified viewing decks can use them.

One must be fully aware it may bring potential danger by shining laser pointers ourdoor, never point at moving spots in the sky it might be an aircrafts, and never use it in public.

The Necessity of Wearing Laser Safety Goggles

Laser safety goggles, is also named as laser safety glasses, laser safety eyewear. It is a specific kind of glass which is used to protect eyes from being hurt by laser when operating laser pointers.

Laser by emitting a concentrated straight beam is being taken good advantages of. Once it shines a targeted object, almost all power is focusing on the little dot it stops. That is also the reason why it is not allowed to point at human’s eyes.

Laser safety is classified into four classes by wavelength and maximum output power into four classes and a few subclasses. Seen from output power only, one can easily find out that only the maximum power less than 1mW is relatively safe, which means one can see a laser with the naked eye or with the aid of typical magnifying optics in Class I only. Once the output power of laser pointer reaches Class IIIB (begins from 5mW), there would be temporary or permanent blindness to human’s eyes. And the higher the power, the more danger the laser is. It is not kidding that a 100mW laser pointer can burn one’s retina within second, and which can’t be cured forever.

There are also some shoddy laser pointers which emits much more invisible IR laser than actual visible laser beam, while as IR laser is invisible, people can’t notice it until big harm occurs. It would be too late to take curative action. 

Seen from above, we can easily reach a decision that some protective thing need to be done. A pair of laser safetygoggles is no doubt the one who can meet the need. Laser safety goggles works by blocking or minimizing the harm of laser radiation and laser reflection to human’s eyes.

Like normal goggles, the only differences are the lens and frame. Laser safety goggles’ lens are made from particular material which is able to prevent laser hazardous projecting eyes, and the frame is covered fully of eyes which can do a very good protection by such design.

No matter what you done, safety is the first thing to consider. Remember to wear a pair of laser safety goggles when operating laser products.

Attention! Buy Laser Pointer from Reliable Supplier, LaserTo

When searching “laser pointer shops” in google, there are 3,660,000 results appears. Consumers got lost in so many laser pointer suppliers, they check some top websites, visit their products there with product descriptions and photos then compare price or sales quantity then place order directly. But do you know there are many unqualified laser pointers, potential damages would occur once you operate them.

A recent study released by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has revealed an alarming trend. Of 122 laser pointers tested, 44% of red laser pointers and 90% of green laser pointers tested failed federal safety regulations.

The primary danger is overpowered units. Some units in the NIST study tested as high as 13 times over it shows in label. As what we know, the higher the power is, the more expensive the price is. Instead those laser pointers provided by some suppliers even in a much lower price. Accordingly to research, the extra power comes from infrared reflection, which is invisible to human’s eyes but full of harm. Consumers would well consider the safety when buying a high power laser pointer, while buying such gadget would bring direct danger without notice.

It is common consumers are always attracted by lower price, one can never knows product quality by seeing product description only.In order to gain much more benefits, some black-hearted suppliers use second-handed laser diodes inside, which do make the price competitive, but also lessen laser pointer’s lifetime. Usually, a good laser pointer can work more than 8,000 hours in total, while a used diode laser pointer only an work hundreds of hours time as they already being used for a long period. What’s more, it is fact that unqualified laser pointers' body material, IR filter, cooling system maybe in bad quality. Price need to be considered, but should not be the first one.

Finally, after-sale service need to be offered if needed. Consumers pay money not only for product itself, but also for good service, especially after-sale service. Reliable supplier can provide helpful support within guarantee time once there is any problem of laser pointer, while non-reputable laser pointer company would find many reasons to refuse consumers maintenance or even ask for much repairment fees.

As the most professional and reliable laser pointer manufacture supplier, Laser To offers various kinds laser pointers for different demands. All products there is in FDA approved, with good quality, sufficient power, 6months to one year's guarantee time and best service etc. Consumers all over the world is welcome to visit the website, http://www.laserto.com.

Teen arrested after shining laser pointer into Volusia sheriff's helicopter

A Holly Hill teen has been arrested on New Year's Day after deputies say he shined a green laser into the cockpit of a Volusia County Sheriff's Office helicopter.
Andrew Decker, 18, has been charged with pointing a laser light at a driver/pilot after the VCSO pilot said Decker shined a green laser into the cockpit multiple times as they were flying in the area of Hammock Drive.
When deputies asked Decker why he was shining the light, Decker said he was "just shining the trees" and that he was "just seeing if the laser would go that high and it did."
Decker also said he thought the laser was "cool" and learned about laser pointers in Boy Scouts.
Deputies said pointing a laser pointer at pilots can blind them and cause serious damage to their eyes.
Decker was arrested on felony charges and taken to Volusia County jail just after midnight, where he bonded out.
This is also the first laser incident happened in 2014, we hope there has no such misusing laser pointer any more.
