Kim, have you tried lithium batteries? They do a much better job in the cold, and last longer (though more expensive than alkaline). While I'm guilty of passing this ad along, I agree with Kevin that public star parties don't need this kind of wattage. Besides, y'all just want to use the module for holography, right??! ;) --- On Wed, 2/18/09, Kim <kimharch@cut.net> wrote:

I've been wondering why the hype for brighter lasers, other than the mine-is-bigger-than-yours factor. I assumed that if they were being sold they were legal. Glad you clarified that for me.
I've always found my 5mw model to be bright enough, unless I leave it out when it's very cold - then I may have to warm it up inside my coat for a moment before I use it. Anyone else have this problem, or is it just my model?
