    Suitable applications of 1w lasers

    • light engraving
    • ultra light cutting
    • mischief and miscellaneous shenanigans
    • medical (I guess it’s in the range for tattoo removal, but power rating for these lasers are stated weirdly)
    • fiber optic communications

    Tasks 1w lasers are unsuitable for

    • any kind of pointing, besides cases where you wish to permanently damage your audience.

    As I recall the cheap lasers have an issue with the quality of their wavelength. Both in contamination and precision. Which leads glasses not being effective.
