    A lot of the lazers from non reputable brands have are more powerful than rated, I think it was styropyro that has videos of it. But also a few sites sell 1w lasers and also it’s easy to make as well.

      Yeah, I certainly wasn’t saying these would be hard to get. And yeah, a lot of cheap laser pointers are also dangerous. What I’m saying is basically, “Hey, this is potentially dangerous, read up on this before you reach for your credit card.”
