Unfortunately I got a laser pointer (LP), which I have so not ordered. I had a laser class 2 ordered and received a Class 3 laser. The is natural light, lit, everything nice. But I wanted to give him my enthusiastic about technology son (15) who has requested a green LP. He sees the laser pointer as a "cool flashlight," perhaps as a laser sword and a toy for his cat. Now I can not answer for him the Lasperpointer this strength.
It bothers me very much that the laser pointer as a Class 2 laser (
The product gets an enclosed Safety note in English:
"DO NOT LOOK INTO THE Aperature OF THE LASER BEAM.
Laser radiation is potentially harmful. Do not aim Directly into eye.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN "
Another accompanying security advisory ecommerce live is in German.
"The laser beam Never point at people and animals or their eyes. ... Keep the laser pointer away from children necessarily !!!!"
If you look at Wikipedia for, then for Class 2 lasers:
"It is for short-term exposure time (up to 0.25 s) is harmless to the eye."
And for a Class 3 laser
1mW - 5mW: "The accessible laser radiation is hazardous to the eyes."
5mW - 500mW: "The accessible laser radiation is hazardous to the eyes and in special cases for the skin."
This sounds much more concrete in Wikipedia. Just why is it so not in the safety instructions?
Because of lack of safety notification and incorrect classification there about me just 3 stars (***).
The laser pointer I will keep. He could well imagine that he can help me maybe in the mountains in the preparation of my climbing routes on this rock to "draw" and discuss with Bergkameraden.
My son now gets what else.
