Most of the people here at LPF already understand the potential eye hazards involved with something like this. But for those who are new to lasers, this modification can damage the eye instantly with a direct shot or reflection.
So quick, shine it right at the chrome-plated faucet, and numerous other reflective surfaces!:D


Set phasers to "blind."
(Maybe that's why no one can ever seem to hit another person 15 feet away with a beam of light in those various TV shows - extra crispy retinas.)

Those 12X BD diodes are impressive given folks are getting CW out of them considerably above their PULSED ratings! Class IV 405nm - quite dangerous indeed!

Putting that in a toy like that while seemingly harmless - if a child picks it up and there's no beam shutter or lockout and they look into it! YIKES!!!

I have a 150mW bluray pointer that's focusable and lots of fun. It cures UV adhesive about as fast as kicking CA! :D

Rubycon, you have to remember the demographic of the folks coming up with these things:


  • Likes to play with tech stuff (Lasers), check.
  • Likes to play with Star Trek stuff (Phaser toys), check.
  • Is a fat middle-aged man with receding hair line and a pocket protector, check.
  • Is living in mommy's basement, check.
The odds of children being anywhere near said individual are if he's driving this:

Pretty sure no kids are going to be getting ahold of his phasers anytime soon.
