Thanks. I have my eye set on this https://www.lighting-geek.com/product/hawk-1w-programmable-l...

+ a Helios DAC which comes with some nice software for interacting with IDLA.

Saw the 100W programmable, target-able, aim-able, pattern form-able laser and was whoa... 100. Seems like it might be 100:1 power though.

The "Ultra" Lasercube in another comment (https://www.laseros.com/) is 7W. "Normal", is 1.2W. People already say it's dangerous. The input spec says it's 65W wall. Hopefully that's what's going on here.

If that's actually 100W out, that's so far in "Severe" eye hazard. That's more like laser cut materials severe.

It's a misleading spec. The product name "Hawk 1W" is more honest. Both of these are powerful and potentially dangerous products.

Hawk:

> Red 200mW 635nm

> Green 200mW 532nm

> Blue 600mW 450nm

> Rated Power 100W

LaserCube:

> Blue 445nm / 1300mW

> Green 520nm / 800mW

> Red 635nm / 400mW

> Power 2500mW
