3 Tips To Buy Green Lasers Keeping Safety In Mind

The world of laser technology is evolving each and every year and if you're looking to buy green lasers there are a few things you should keep in mind to ensure the quality of any model you choose as well as safety factors for yourself and onlookers. As laser pointers produce a good amount of condensed laser light under specific light frequencies and potentially very high powers, certain models will do a far better job at protecting the user than others.

Here are a few things you should keep in mind whenever looking to buy a green laser or any laser pointer for that matter.

1. FDA Accession Numbers: as more and more lasers hit the open market it becomes overwhelming clear that 99% of them have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This means that they may not only be potentially dangerous by not including certain safety mechanisms, but also that they may not be fully legal to own and operate. As most laser providers are outside of the United States it seems that they either don't care about the laws designed to protect laser users or simply don't know. Either way there is no excuse for selling lasers that are not legal and you should always avoid brands that are not FDA accessioned.

2. Warranty Period: cheaper laser pointers and cheaper manufacturers know that poorly designed laser products tend to burn out and have the diodes fail quite regularly. This means that you can be looking to buy a laser, get it in hand, use it for a bit only to find that it's so poorly designed it actually burns itself out in a short period of time. Any laser company that offers no warranty or a warranty period of less than a year should be put in question thoroughly and not trusted. After all, when you buy green lasers you're making an investment into laser technology and should expect some longevity in the model you choose.

3. Proper Safety Features: cheaper lasers also tend to not incorporate proper safety measures in their design and manufacturing process. Typically this is to keep production cost down but not only does this lead to potentially dangerous models, but also models that tend to fail rather quickly. Most importantly is infrared filters which do not allow the laser itself to emit any of the potentially damaging infrared laser light to be exposed to the human eye. As this light is invisible it is all but impossible to detect without equipment and can cause injury to the retina of users or onlookers.

All in all whenever you're considering buying lasers, especially powerful 532nm green laser pointers, you want to do a fair amount of research into the model and company you're considering. Not all lasers are created equal and neither are manufacturers, not by a long shot. With even just a small amount of research you can ensure that you're going with something that is safe, trustworthy, and that will last a long time.
