OK, OK. It SEEMED like 75 Watts, but yes, I stand corrected. In my haste and enthusiasm I forgot the "m". By the way, I just purchased a two pack of CR123A batteries for it at the Walmart in Riverdale for $10.50 including tax. Wayne A.

"Chuck Hards" <chuck.hards@gmail.com> 06/17/08 9:39 AM >>> 75 milliWatts Wayne- 75/1000ths of one Watt. That's what's so incredible about the laser. How bright such a small amount of energy can be if it's coherent and collimated. (IIRC, Seth said your laser is actually rated at 80 milliWatts.)

WOW! Antaries was a half degree from the moon last night and the 75 watt laser pointer I picked up from Seth Jarvis yesterday was wonderfully bright pointing at it, even from 50 feet away. Thanks, Seth.
