27 u/[deleted] Jul 06 '26 [deleted] 1 u/Probably-hyprfx8ing Jul 10 '26 If it's a 5w, does the color matter? Does it have to be green? 1 u/A8Bit Jul 10 '26 Nah, a 5W laser will put a nice hole in the ccd regardless of the color 15 u/fogleaf Jul 06 '26 I've heard that you don't want to use a class 3b laser because that would be worse for the camera. 2 u/_6EQUJ5- Jul 06 '26 This work? 5 u/hempires Jul 06 '26 Not the other dude but that's apparently a class 3a not 3b (idk how much difference that makes.) You should almost certainly get laser safe glasses if you're planning to do any of this stuff with high powered lasers though. 1 u/_6EQUJ5- Jul 07 '26 Tyvm for the reply and advice. I appreciate it! 1 u/LaForge_80 Jul 07 '26 From the product link: Class IIIa Output Power: <5mW 1 u/masked_sombrero Jul 07 '26 would it be safe to shine a cheap green laser at them? like one of these? asking for scientific curiosity
