5mW Punteros láser verde

Compact Pointers Suitable for Multiple Uses

Green 5mW laser pointers produce a visible beam that shines light at a wavelength of 532 nanometers. The green light is more visible compared to red or violet beams because it's brighter and can be seen from miles away. When used as a pointer in the United States, lasers cannot exceed 5 milliwatts in power. These handy electronics accessories have a variety of uses.

What Are Some Advantages of Laser Pointers?

Laser pointers transport easily and normally use small button cell batteries, which are inexpensive and last a long time. Some may also run on AAA or other types of batteries. Since diode lasers can be seen in the dark, you can send an S.O.S. signal to alert emergency personnel of your location when stranded. Furthermore, you can use the device as a sky pointer when identifying stars and constellations. Likewise, laser pointers are operational in temperatures ranging from 50 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit, suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Many people use them with projector screens and monitors to make presentations or to conduct tours at museums and other public facilities.

What Features Should You Look For?

• Waterproof: Devices made out of aluminum alloy hold up to rainy nights, snowstorms, and nightly strolls on the beach. Plus, maintenance-free aluminum doesn't rust and the metal prevents overheating.
• Easy to Use: On many models, you can reduce or enlarge the focus or adjust the device's brightness. Press one button to turn it on and off, which further simplifies operation. Some laser pointers come with interchangeable laser head caps to include dot and other multi-patterns.
• Convenient Size: Most fit in a pocket or you can put it in a purse or carryall. When traveling, these lightweight gadgets easily fit in your vehicle's glove compartment, or you can add it to your inventory of camping supplies or hiking gear.
• Keys: As a safety measure, some models come with one or more keys so you can restrict operation to certain individuals, especially children who may consider it a toy.

Are There Any Disadvantages to Using a Laser Pointer?

Laser pointers are a blindness hazard and can also damage skin when shined at close ranges between 50 to 250 feet away. Green laser pointers are especially hazardous to airplane pilots when someone shines a laser beam directly into the cockpit at distances up to 11,700 feet. In addition to flash blindness and glare, pilots are temporarily distracted and blinded during takeoffs and landings, which could potentially cause a fatal accident. Likewise, you shouldn't shine a green laser pointer at moving vehicles and their occupants.
