I've also got a handheld lux meter, so we can see what the different lasers actually put out in lux units, or lumens per square meter. This is for illumination only, it's not any kind of measurement of the power output of the laser diode in terms of milliwatts, which is how lasers are marketed and identified- not by the illumination they produce. But it does serve to illustrate differences between lasers of different power ratings since illumination (brightness) is related to diode power at visual wavelengths with these lasers.

I like it. I am not on the board this year so I can not say what would be approved. After my last go around with the Chinese laser company this sounds interesting.
